Hee hee, I grabbed Dave this morning and told him that I was taking some pics of him. Isn't it funny that we (parents) are always clicking away, but we rarely have pics of ourselves??? My original motive was to get a photo of him in these jeans - but Olivia jumped in the photos. Oh well, I know how good he looks in them!

End of the hectic week - almost!

Okay, today I presented at the Utah Fall Conference on Substance Abuse. I had the oh so exciting topic of Environmental Strategies. It went well. I have also presented to my colleagues in the Strategic Prevention Framework Grant (SPF SIG) this week. I had to talk about budget cuts and sustainability for everyone. *SIGH* it wasn't pretty. I was a total downer for that group. But the reality is that the grant money is only around until 2011.

The one of the best things today was that I got to network and be with people in my field. But the BEST thing today was dinner with the girls. Emma was in rare form - actually chatting! Olivia didn't fight with Emma. And Maggie attempted to feed herself. It was wonderful.

I am supposed to attend the last day of the conference tomorrow, however since I already have over my 80 hours and technically we are to have Fridays off... I will work from home. (on my NEXT presentation that is due to the feds tomorrow by 2 pm).

It will be great -

Finally

Okay, I finally got a picture up here. I will have to slowly but surely add more. Sadly, it won't be this week. I am working non-stop! I work late three days this week. I am only supposed to work 4 tens, but this week we already had something scheduled on Friday. I am only consoled by the fact that I will be able to take comp-time this winter and no vacation days!
The girls are amazing. Mags is almost walking. She is so different from her sisters.... Red hair, mellow, very thoughtful. The others were just go go go!
Dave and I travel to DC this month - so there should be some fun pictures from that trip. :)
Let's see how well I can keep up with this!

Grrr

I am attempting to add a photo here and am having very little luck. Eventually this will look like a page.....

Newbie

Okay, so I figuring out how this blogging thing works. Nicole has inspired me - and I think this will be easier for all of you rather than getting large emails. :) I am excited!
