Engagement Update

April 4, 2008

So I missed blogging for the last couple weeks, but a bunch has happened.

Easter was fun. Saturday, we went to the South Jordan city easter egg hunt which was supposed to start at 10:00. Well, it actually started accidentally at 9:57 and was over by 9:58. Pretty crazy. After, we had the Sorensen breakfast of crepes, eggs, and sausage and it was all excellent. Sunday morning we did the usual easter egg and basket hunt. Soren won the search for the “Gross Brown Egg”, a yearly tradition where we make the last egg as gross looking as possible by dipping it repeatedly in every color. The kids got new clothes for Easter and all looked really nice.

We celebrated Soren’s birthday last weekend. HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY, SOREN! His birthday is on April Fools Day but he wanted to have a sleepover with his cousins Friday night instead, so we did that and watched Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest. All of our kids were OUT before the movie ended at midnight but Nate and Jentz were wide-awake and hyper. So I put on Star Wars but evidently it’s been scratched up quite a bit. So eventually I turned it off and Nate and Jentz reluctantly went to sleep. In the morning I made waffles with berries and cream on them per Soren’s request. One of Soren’s gifts was a digital camera from Grammy and Gramps. It’s better than mine! And he loves it and is taking all sorts of pictures. It is nice that he is so into it because he gets lots of pictures of things that Julie and I don’t even think of photographing. I haven’t yet shown him how to download his pics to the computer so we can put them on Flickr, so there’s none of his photos to show yet.

The twins are both starting to sleep better at night which has been SOOOO NICE. Maren actually sleeps consistently 10 and even 12 HOURS a night. Crazy! Roman, however, is obviously starving (as you can see from this photo) and needs to still eat at least once or twice during the night. But overall, MUCH BETTER!

And finally, CONGRATS TO KATIE AND TAGG!!! It’s finally OFFICIAL, even though we’ve all known this was happening for a couple weeks. Well, really, I talked to Tagg about this over a month ago when I informed him that I’d made a bet with Katie regarding how quickly they would be engaged. I’m glad it’s official now and we all look forward to having Tagg in the family. He’s a great guy. Here’s a photo of him with Logan.
