We have to take pictures of ourselves just to find a reason to post a blog. We haven't had any outstanding experiences to report about lately, however next week we will be up for a new adventure. We are watching John and Amanda's kids while they go on a trip to Hawaii. We will be responsible for four kids. Yikes!!! We are excited for the adventure and have fun activities planned for the kids. (That should give us something to post about.)
We have determined we need to better condition our bodies so we have begun attending a local gym called "The Body Studio". At the gym we take classes such as, kickboxing, core conditioning, & spin. The people there are really fun and energetic. Karen works there part time managing the front desk and watching kids in their day care center. She receives free membership and my membership is half off. We are enjoying our time in Orting and are becoming more and more comfortable with the ward we are attending. I recently had a run-in/run-out with Starbucks in Seattle and hope to never repeat that experience! We love you all and wish you the best.

Love,

Erik & his incredible wife Karen
