well, here we go - entering the world of blogging (we're succumbing to the peer pressure!!  everyone else has one, so we want one too!!!)  we're slowly adjusting to life in minnesota state.  aaron and i just looked up the averages for temperature and snowfall compared to syracuse (from where we just moved) and they are nowhere close!!  syracuse has soooo much more snow but is not as cold, whereas in minnesota it is very, very, very cold, but only about 1/6th of the average snowfall compared to cny.  today we had a good day at church and a pretty relaxing sunday.  aaron had to practice narrating the christmas program for next sunday and then had byc, but then we've just been spending some down time together as a family.  our new friends the harpers are coming over to play some games - they're leaving tomorrow for the christmas break to visit family in california and then utah.  they get to go to the oakland temple - we're so jealous!  that's where we were married (almost 10 years ago!)  the kids are growing like weeds.  especially tanner - he is so cute!  he is a little pudgeball of cuteness!  i will post pictures soon.  i hope this will help us to keep in touch with friends and family all over the US, from east coast to west coast.  love and daisies!
