My Unlucky Tuesday...

started when I got out of my car and took about two steps toward the hospital and felt a nice big thud on my head. My exact thought was, Oh shoot I think I just got pooped on. About two seconds later there was no thinking about it. The smell of the huge glob that hung off my hair down in front of my nose was unbelievable! I just had my hair layered and so I actually took time to curl it this night too. I stood outside not knowing what to do and gagging from the smell. I saw a coworker walking towards me so I had her look and verify what I really already knew. She thought I had fallen in the mud so now I knew this had to be one huge bird. I finally made it up to Labor & Delivery and by this time I was just plain sick! After everyone had a good laugh I was able to use some baby shampoo and went with the wet look the rest of the night.

A new year is here...

but not a whole lot is new with the Lanker family. Basketball did start last week for Brendon, Caleb and Trevin. They are all enjoying it this time. Trevin gets to have his practice in the sports arena where the junior college games are played so he thinks that is pretty cool and his older brothers are a bit jealous. Meryn says she can't wait until she goes to school with her brothers. I guess I must be getting pretty boring to hang out with. First thing in the morning she is ready to go shopping or to Grandma & Grandpas house. She has informed us she wants to play soccer this spring. I think we may have a tomboy on our hands. Other than that, not much has changed and we're enjoying the start to our new year. Oh, and if anyone is wondering where your Christmas card and picture from us is, we flopped and didn't get them done. There's always next year!

Christmas

Well, It's been almost 3 weeks since our last post. I suppose it's time to update! We spent Christmas in town this year. We had a bunch of family in town, so a lot of time was spent at Roger & Mary's. Getting home around 2am most nights was exhausting, but it's too much fun with everyone here. We got up early Christmas morning, with the help of 4 excited kids. They couldn't wait any longer and wanted to hurry and get things started. We opened our family presents, got ready, then headed over to Roger & Mary's to have the rest with everyone else. We spent the rest of the holiday hanging out and playing games. Always a good time! We had a bit of snow left so we did some sledding and snowball fights, and some of us got a workout playing Wii. We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and are looking forward to 2008.
