Well, the deWets are on!

Erin, you inspired me to try it! :) That also means I have lots of spare time today and both my kids are sleeping so I can't play with them! We had a great Christmas at home--kids are both catching up on sleep and playing with their friends. Steffi has one more semester and then she will and is job hunting. She spent the last 3 days applying to 2 jobs! It's that complex! Now she just has to call in to a phone and answer 3 questions on a tape--one of which is "tell us something interesting about yourself" Great! Don't you love it. I don't envy her. Matt just went paintballing up at David's ranch yesterday with a bunch of his friends. He has accepted an internship at TI in Dallas for next summer so I am excited he will be home. Steffi is hoping to travel a bit after school is out and then start a job. Dennis just had 9 days off and is just back to work and me too. Hope you all had great holidays!

Hope you don't mind me telling you about Jordan's adventure

Jordan arrived in Madrid late yesterday, exhausted, apparently didn't sleep well on the flight, then missed her shuttle to the hotel so had to catch a later one. On the bright side, she really liked the 3 other American girls who will be attending the university with her in Santander and thinks Madrid looks very wonderful so far. She'll see some more tomorrow after a decent night's sleep. She'll go to Santander and meet her host family on Sunday: Jesus and Teresa are the parents, then their daughter, who is a 30 year old professor at the university, and the grandmother, also Teresa. They live two blocks from the school she'll be attending. I'm just relieved that she made it there and sounds like the student organization will take very good care of her from here on out.

Hey Family!

So, hello clan,

and I guess I'm the first one in my household to get a jump on this blog business. Might I say, this site looks very professional and outstanding (I love the fall colors)! I'm at the library because we don't have our computer-internet situation smoothed out yet, but as soon as we do I'm posting pictures. For now, imagine my mom at a laptop poking buttons and sighing with a deep grief of unsatisfying computer skills :)

Best wishes and regards,
Erin (goodyear)

The latest news from Littleton

We laughed when we saw this photo because we don't know who the little white haired man in the background is or how he got in our picture. This is when we went to cut down our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.

Waaa, I have a cold and my head aches. Luckily, I have the day off today, and it's snowing, snowing, snowing here. We already had several inches and woke up this morning to more coming down. Monstrous icicles are hanging off of our house. I think we'll stay inside today. Jordan saw a mouse run across our family room last night. Yikes. We are counting on our little dogs to protect us but not sure how that will work out. Hope you all had good holidays.

How about some holiday photos?

Hi all -

Now that the holidays are winding down, how about posting a photo of your family onto the blog so we can see each other (pretend).

  Love,
