Since it has been over a month since anyone has blogged anything, I figured I needed to set an example and catch everyone up on life at the Penn's. I'm hoping it will encourage others to share!
We had high hopes of an inaugural Penn ski weekend a couple weeks ago. Parents should know better than to plan events like that. Micah broke his arm jumping off the dresser. So we cancelled the trip and worked on taking baths with plastic bags protecting his right arm (thankfully he is left handed). But kids are amazing and he had his cast off in 3 weeks so we headed up to Walhalla, ND this past weekend and taught the kids how to "pizza" (this generation's term for snow-plowing). It was a great time and we look forward to next year's ski season. I do miss Sunnyside and the t-bar up at Bottineau. It'd be fun to go back and see how it has changed. Maybe the Haugen's need to plan a ski retreat for January of '09!
Signe was extremely excited to show me another loose tooth after school today. She informed that her girlfriend had been punching her in the face and knocked it loose! Signe had to call her friend and share the good news. I'm not sure I quite understand this parenting business... Josiah is (surprisingly) all in one piece, for now. He asked me the other day if it would break his bike if he rode it off the roof, so I'm not holding my breath that he'll stay injury free for long. (I am watching the stairway carefully, just in case I see any bikes headed up.)
Besides hopefully inducing others to share some of their daily lives on the blog, I'm wanting to invite any and every one to run the Fargo Half Marathon with us this May 17th. So far Jeremiah, Trent? and I are training for it and we'd love more company. You don't have to "run" it all and if you have questions about training, give me a call! The more the merrier!
Hope to hear from you all! ---Siri
