A while back I got a comment from a friend that it looks like we are having a lot of "family time." No denying it - we are spending a lot of time together. I know that as soon as we return Renee will be deep into asserting her independence so I am trying to embrace both the joy and the challenges of family time. We are planning on driving 10 hours or so (not sure of the roads) to the south in February and then doing a few other side trips. Our car is quite cozy so it will be quite the trial and will undoubtedly lead to many memories of "family time." Luckily we did this before all three of them had their growth spurts!

| Waiting for the bus - whether or not they like it, these kids are becoming public transport savvy |

| Does ipod touch time count? |

| Who better to hang out with at the building pool |

| Some educational TV watching in our bed. One day we'll have a TV in a common room - perhaps when we don't all fit in our bed. |
The kids really are spending a lot more time together than they ever would be doing in South Bend especially with summer here. Elisa is content to go for a full day of camp at the Estadio with her friends but the others aren't so Renee and Jonathan are learning to depend on each other much more. Hopefully it will lead to fond memories one day....
Sounds like fun!
