October 24, 2007

Hi all,
Just wanted to give everyone an update on the Van Clan.
  • Mike is back to work after being out of the country for a week. Jet-lag aside, he found it tough to get back in the swing of things. Work has been very busy too.
  • Kristen is in desperate need of a vacation after taking care of the girls while Mike was away. She's been asking to go away to some place warm and sunny (Bermuda perhaps). She deserves it!
  • Tayler visited Penn State's Wilkes-Barre campus over the weekend. He was impressed with the campus and the facilities offered. While he's not sure whether he plans to attend PSU, the visit was his first to a college campus. More to follow...
  • Jillian seems to be enjoying school more and more each week. She brought Buddy the class mascot home last week and was responsible for taking him around with her. See the pictures below. At show-n-tell today, Jillian brought sea shells that we collected while we stayed at Long Beach Island, NJ.
  • Olivia is more and more animated everyday. Her vocabulary is growing and she's definately sure when she wants or doesn't want something.

Over the weekend, we raked a pile of leaves for the girls to play in. Jillian loved them-Olivia did not. Oh well, there will be other piles of leaves to play in. The picture above shows the girls in their pajamas and their swim suits. We know-but sometimes you must pick your battles and this one was not worth fighting over. Besides, we can use this picture to blackmail them later when they get older! :)

That's about all that's new from PA.

Love to all,
The Van Clan
