General News and Ramblings

Would you believe that after creating my blog I forgot the username, password and even the address? I am seriously brain challenged these days. Yesterday I called my brother and he told me about these women in his ward who spend all day "blogging or reading each other's blogs." I sheepishly replied that I have a blog.
"Would you like the address?" I asked.
And he ardently replied, "no." Oh well.
We are currently functioning with two sick children. They both have a cough/sore throat/runny nose/non-sleeping thing. Diego and I both are getting significantly less sleep than we need. (Which could explain the brain melt-down.) And I am having flashbacks of newborn nights.

We are trading in our Nissan Altima for a Toyota Sienna. That is a mini-van! Aaah, I was really reluctant to join the set of the mini-van mom but my practicality won out after all. It will be more than nice to finally have more room. Poor Alisa's legs are smooshed up into her chest.

This is Nicolas drawing. He is really into art projects lately and loves to send them to friends and family. He is always running to the mail box to see if any letters have come back to him.

Picture of the kiddies in their Halloween costumes. Nicolas is a dragon and Alisa is a princess. the princess costume is just for me-she doesn't care. Look, we have a fireplace in St. George! Does it really get cold here? Not as of Oct. 25th. I'll probably come home for Christmas and freeze.

Welcome to the neighborhood

Welcome to the Carroll Family blog. We hope to post our family news, happenings, and mostly pictures so you all will want to come visit beautiful Santa Clara.

October 6th was a big day!

On October 6th, Staci ran the St. George Marathon and Nicolas had his big 4 birthday. Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a birthday party because it was just us, but he felt special anyway.
