Welcome Back!

Welcome back to our new and updated blog! We have been EXTREMELY lazy and lacking on our blogging this year and we apologize. Our goal this upcoming year will be to beef up our blogging skills and keep all of our family and friends informed of what's going on in the Mueller household. Here are some things that have happened this year that MAY have aided in our dissappearance from writing to all you folks.

1) Andrew took a journey to Colorado this summer with some buddies and completed Ride the Rockies on the bike! It was a major accomplishment for him and he did a great job! I will let him blog about it more detailed if he feels the need. He is planning on going back to Colorado this next summer to do the Bicycle Tour of Colorado.

2) I have been teaching, which most of you know, can take up quite some time even after the school day is done. I began my sixth year of teaching first grade this fall and have a great group of kids!

3) Ben got to go see THOMAS THE TRAIN! We went to "Day out with Thomas" this September and they had lots of fun things for kids to do. He played at lots of train tables, and even go to ride Thomas the train! We took that journey with G'ma and G'pa Bendixen and Aunt Kari too.

4) This summer we took kind of our first big family vacay to Wisconsin to visit the Hackbarths (Andrew's sister's family). Ben got to play with his cousins and we took a trip to one of the nearby waterparks.

5) Potty training. Need I say anymore? Boys and potty training are a ball of fun and love to eat up lots and LOTS of time. I will say on a positive note that it is coming along and we hope to be finished up with it VERY soon. :-) (Any tips, please let us know too.)

There was much, much more of course that happened this year but these were some of the major ones. Again, we PROMISE (I will try at least!) we will jump back on the blogging train and you will be hearing more from us soon!
