So...people keep asking what's up with the adults in our family. I'm assuming they don't want to hear that we're sleep deprived, so I'll try to think up something else to say....

Matt continues to be a most awesome stay-at-home parent. His job is far more difficult than mine! Sometimes it is more fun, too. :) He is playing floor hockey again - I think this is his sixth or seventh season, and his team has won the championship at least 3 times. He is goalie so don't let him tell you he has nothing to do with the winning!

He takes the kids to 2 different play groups, a story time, gymnastics on Mondays, and they have "play dates" with other kids at least once a week as well. Tomorrow morning, we are hosting two other stay-at-home dads and a total of 4 other kids, ranging in age from 7 months to 5 years. Matt swears they will be "sort of quiet"! :)

I am still writing for Aetna, freelance writing, squeezing in some "fun" writing (I'm working on a 10-minute play right now), reading, and thinking about starting up running again. It is hard to fathom getting back into shape to begin with; it's even more difficult when it is -15 degrees outside. So far, thinking is all I've done. But just wait until it gets above freezing!

And that's about it really. We spend a lot of time together, the 4 of us - reading books, playing games...sometimes it's a bit much, but mostly we are thankful to be able to see one another so often. I would not want to miss the silly games the kids make up, the new words Zoe speaks, the new phrases that Sascha comes up with (the newest: "Could you get that for Zoe, please? I'm really busy.").
