<br />
We have started a new family blog. It's different to this blog in that it has a specific theme. It's similar to this blog in that we're still mostly insane, so, there you have it.<br />
<br />
Go visit there if you want, or don't, or whatever.<br />

Has anyone even noticed?<br />
<br />
My guess is that they have not. What with the rise of facebook, this has turned into a redundant way to share pictures of our family.<br />
<br />

Today was Trevor and Mariah's first day at preschool. To say they were excited about going would be a giant understatement! At around 8:10am they asked if they could go sit in the car and wait. When it was time they just wanted to run, but I made them pose for this picture first. (Click on any picture to see a larger version in slideshow format)</div>

Beth and I were worried about what might happen with 4 kids at a water park. Turns out... it was wonderful. The girls took to the water like little fishies, and a fantastic day was had by all. Bonus: minimum sunburn coverage! </div>

Lauren's new piano teacher does a bi-annual recital, and it fell on Lauren's 6th week of taking lessons. They decided it would be a good idea to have her perform, regardless of her skills, so she could get the experience of being on stage. We agreed, and here she is! The first thing she plays is a standard F# blues bass line. Then, she plays a practice song called *I don't remember*. What's important, is that it's the first exercise she had to do with both hands doing separate things, and she figured it out in about fifteen minutes.<br />
