Ok.. I just realized it has been WAY too long since I updated the blog.

We have been busy moving and moving and moving and moving since we returned to Kansas. Long story to save for another time. Anyway, we are now in a new 3 bedroom apartment and plan to stay here until August, 2009.

The kids have been keeping me busy. Grace's basketball season just ended. Her team didn't win any games, but they played really well and improved so much since they first started in October.

Grace also ran in the Groundhog Run (5K) in January and did really well and came in 5th place for her age group with a time of 27:05. You can find the results at www.mararunning.org and check out pictures at www.seekcrun.com.

Zachariah continues to learn more about Fencing and Anastasia is enjoying her Gymnastics classes.

Zachariah and Anastasia both entered a Chess Tournament at school this week. Zachariah came in 23rd place for her group (K-5th grade) and Anastasia came in 8th place (K-2nd grade). Pretty good for just learning how to play this year.

We are trying to decide where to go for Spring Break in a couple weeks. If anyone has a good idea, let me know. We were thinking about going south, including a little jaunt into Mexico, but that probably won't work out with the recent developments along the border. What a bummer.

Hope all is well. I will try to post another update sooner than last time.
