The Ricks Family

Almost three weeks and everything hasn't been to bad. It was nice to have my parents here from the 16th-25th and Dan took two weeks off. My parents made some great meals for us and we froze some of the leftovers so we still have some yummy dinners for when I am not in the mood to make something. Also my neighbor brought dinner over for us today and my VT wants to bring dinner over of us later this week. We have a lot of great friends over here. It has been great with all the help from friends and family.
This week is supposed to be my first week without help but it hasn't happened so far. Monday Erin had school and a friend invited Tyler over to play and today was a no school day and it snowed so our neighbors came to take Erin and Tyler sledding. They are our babysitters and they always come over to ask if they can take Erin and Tyler sledding and build a snowman when it snows. They are some great babysitters and friends. We are sad that one will be going away to college in September. We are glad that the younger one still has a few more years before college.




Next week Dan will be taking some classes at George Mason University to get his masters in Computer Science. Micron is paying for it! He will have classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights, 7pm-10pm. The Prince William campus is just down the street from Micron so I told him to go to the gym that is right next door before his classes instead of coming all the way home and then going right back. I have a feeling those will be long days. It is a good thing though so it will be worth it in the end.
