I know that this isn't the first time that this has happened, and it most definitely won't be the last. We were out at Pickup Stix, enjoying some Chinese food, and there was a family of 4 seated next to us, a mom, dad, boy & girl teen. And the girl teen kept staring at Jack! Not once or twice, at least 4 times that I saw. Yes, we know he's handsome, but seriously! We tried not to stare back, but at one point, I loudly whispered to Erik, "I think that one in the yellow shirt's never seen a black person before!" About 5 minutes after that, they moved to a different table!

Ok, we know how it must look, Erik & I out with our kids who both look nothing like us. But why stare? If you're really so curious that you must know how our children came to be in our family, have the balls to come up and start a conversation! We might actually talk to you! Staring's just rude.

Oh, that Jack...

Erik and I were having a conversation today about something Jack experienced last night, and at one point I commented, "... and there was much excitement." Jack piped up from the back seat, "Drama! Drama!" We really have to watch what we say around him, he obviously understands it completely, euphemisms and all!

Still catching up...

From Spring Break! Grandma and Grandpa were here from Sacramento, and we also had visits from Grammy and Uncle Les for Easter dinner. Complete with kielbasa and pierogi from the Russian market! Yum! Pictures to follow when I can get them downloaded.

In other news, we finally have a minivan! We got one the last week of March, before the taxes went up. A Kia Sedona, with power everything. Can't beat that new car smell! Yeah, it would have been trendy to get the Odyssey, but the loaded Kia was just so much cheaper than the Honda. And the warranty is better, too.
