Oliver and Daddy on New Year's Eve

Dan's sister and her husband and son left this last Tuesday. It was nice having them her. We have gotten back on our schedules and routines, they pretty much go out the window when they are here. Only because we spend most of our time down at Dan's parents house. Which is a lot of fun. Anyways, Dan and I usually go to a progressive party with our friends at church on new years eve. We stayed in and had a fun night with the kids instead this year. Oliver and I made hot fudge ice cream cake while daddy and Danica played. We had bath time, and by then Danica was pretty spent so I put her to bed. We rented a bunch of movies, and after the cake we had popcorn and watched a movie. Oliver played and would go and lay down by Dan every few minutes to see what was going on in the movie. The other day we went to Lilly's b-day party. That was lots of fun. And today it is sunny out and the kids and went out side for a little while, and down to Dan's shop. Oliver and Danica like to play down there. Oliver rides his tricycle and Danica cruses in her walker. They do laps around, and crash into each other every now and then. Danica likes to follow Oliver or she tries to find the cat who lives down there. Things that are new with Dan and I. Dan recently bought new dirt bike. I have to admit it is a really cool one. It has a lot of modifications to it. So now Dan has begun working out to get ready to ride this spring and summer. He says that he needs to get into shape because this bike is going to be more to handle while riding, a.k.a faster. With him working out it is helping me to as well. On Monday I start an exercise class on Mon, Wend and a different one of Fridays. I am looking forward to it. We continue to pray about the economy and for work to start coming in. We just have to trust in the Lord that he will meet our needs, as he does everyday. Well here are some pictures from the last week or so.
