Los Aldama: UPDATE!

Well, today we had a National Lampoon's experience...(Walley World) we were excited to have Dan accompany us to gymnastics. We loaded up the kids to drive the 40 or so minutes to the gym only to see a "Closed for Spring Break" sign on the door. Bummer-we did do Costco and lunch, and the kids are now napping, so it ended up being a pretty fun morning, extra fun because daddy was with us! It has been a busy few weeks, last week especially. Dan completed his internship up at the hospital, having had a great learning experience. He pulled long hours and was able to work in both inpatient and outpatient areas. He is now on a really strict studying schedule for his NBCOT exam in May. We are counting down weeks, with only six weeks left here until we move. (We have about 1/2 of our house already in boxes) We just placed our notice today to be moved out by the 20th. (Yikes) Two of those weeks the kids and I will be in California. It is going to go quickly. We are taking another trip this weekend to try to pin down where we will move. I just have faith that we will know-isn't that how it works? It is such a difficult decision, especially since Noelle is entering kindergarten. We have made three trips up there already and have narrowed down our search and hopefully will make a decision this week.

As for the kids and I, we try so hard to keep busy, to do at least one fun thing everyday. (I make it sound like life is boring...believe me there is nothing boring about our life) We did the aquarium and gymnastics last week and have done the library a few times. Of course, Costco, Target and the grocery store are equally as entertaining for us. We are quite a site when out with just myself and the kids. Lots of "Boy, you have your hands full!" comments. That is the fun of it. The kids love being out and about. We also play outside when we can. We have had a few gorgeous days and will stay outside pretty much the whole day when the sun is shining. We also enjoyed General Conference this last weekend. I was able to go down to Temple Square for the General Primary Training which was really inspiring. My days seem to go by so fast. I am barely on the computer any more. Whenever there is a down moment, I can easily think of something else that I should be doing, other than blogging. Running a house of 5 is a lot of work I tell yah! I hope you are all doing well. The kids and I can't wait to be back in sunny Sacramento...have a great week!
