A few recent things that I think are blog-worthy:
-Jacob is out of diapers! Okay, this one could have had it's very own post, in my humble opinion, because it's BIG NEWS considering he is our caboose. Brad and Amy are officially done changing diapers after 13 years! Thank you, thank you.
-Lyssie and Danny passed yet another swim class! This is not something we've had happen before - kids passing their swimming classes with ease (sorry Amber and Haley).
-Haley and Alyssa took a super cool knitting class at a knitting shop in town and made cute little knitted/stuffed kittens! They both loved it. Alyssa pronounced, while knitting one night, "Knitting is such a nice, calm hobby"...as opposed to all her hyper hobbies, I'm guessing.
-Brad is about to begin his last week at ShopKo! That sentence makes it sound like we've dreaded working at ShopKo, when in reality this has been a great job for him and for our family and we have appreciated it very much. But it has been a bit tricky to jump back and forth between practices over the last several months so he is very much looking forward to being full time at Valley Vision Clinic.
-Amber bought her Nintendo DS! This actually occurred a couple of weeks back, but she has been delighted with it and with herself for having saved up that much babysitting money. Now she has about that much saved up again, so I took her over to the bank last week to open up a savings account. She is pretty much feeling grown up.
-We are getting ready for a big trip - up to Canada, then down to Utah, then up to Seattle. Brad has his 20-year high school reunion (he's old, huh?), then our niece, Cori, is getting married in Utah, then I have my 20-year high school reunion (okay, I'm old too) Should be lots of fun!

Good times at the Nielson household. I envy your diaperless future. I'm a couple of years away myself. Hey Amber, we just bought Guitar Hero for the DS and I'm lovin' it! Definitely rent or buy it. And Amy ... I know you'll be busy in Utah with wedding stuff but can we meet at McDonald's or something?? My kids are still talking about your kids.
You are not that old babe! Though as bad as I thought 8 years of diapers was...13 is worse:) Glad you are done as well. It is sort of liberating in a sense. And I love it. Have fun on your trip.
Congrats on entering the non-diaper era of your life! I know how you feel since we are still in diapers and it's almost been 14 years of nonstop buying!!!! But I do see the end of the tunnel (I think). Sabrina is 3 so it should be soon, right??????:)
