Hey Everybody!

This is a blog for Veronica, Eric, Anne, Sam & Jed Amundson to share with family and close friends.  We love you, we miss you, and we feel bad about not being as connected as we want to be.  This is an effort to let you know what we're up to,  to regularly let you know how much we love and miss you who are scattered around the country, and to keep up conversation amongst our loved ones.

Facebook and that stuff is fun to banter with, but it's just not personal enough.  We just don't have the time and discipline to stay as connected as we like with each of our family members and closest friends.  This blog is for you.  It's like our family newsletter.  We'll give it a shot and see how it works.

Update on our life

We've been busy.  Veronica loves her job, but this past couple of weeks have been especially intense.  Her immediate boss was to lead a significant system launch and training when his wife delivered their first child a couple weeks early.  Veronica got pulled into carry the ball without any background in the project.  It was an intense two weeks with successes and failures, but she got to know a number of remarkable people in the trenches.  She's hoping for a quieter week, but there's no guarantee.

I don't have time for lots of stuff right now, but some highlights include Anne working on applications to magnet schools for next year, Sam finishing up his Cross Country track season, Sam and Jed going to some fun birthday parties, Dad learning how to cook beyond just hot dogs and tacos (or maybe not learning), and everyone being healthy and happy.  The kids have Thursday and Friday off this week.  We'll see what kind of fun we can manage.

We'll keep you posted on some fun things with pictures and videos.
