update for Steve

Since the Petting Zoo Party, we have been working on a vegetable garden. The girls are very interested in that and collecting caterpillars. We have about 50 in our little bug-keeper. CC is working on potty training and grace is learning to be a patient big sister...not her strong point. We drove to Illinois to visit with Jeff's parents in a hotel for a weekend. That went well. We celebrated some birthdays and saw some pretty cool sights. The kids enjoyed the Children's' Museum. Right now we are trying to see if the girls can nap in the same room. Grace has a trundle bed and they both said they would like to nap in Grace's room. So far I hear a lot of giggling. This may not work out. It would've been cute. We hope you are all doing well and we hope to get together with your gang soon. This is like a private, public letter, now. From me to you with the world reading. I just got word that 2 other people read this: my good friend Mike and Zak's wicked Step-father. Hello to the 3 of you!
