Dance Recital

The girls had their dance recital last week. This is their 3rd recital! They were so cute, and did so well on stage. They seem to have no stage fright! I know when I was their age....I would have died to go on stage dancing, but they seem to love it.

Both Kateri and Luanna are very fancy and girly-girls....and again...unlike me as a child! I was pretty much a tom-boy, who hated getting dressed up. Baseball was more my thing.

Van for sale!

We are selling our 8 passenger Chevy Astro van. We bought it new a few years ago and it has served us well. With the new baby coming, we will be a family of 9 now, so need a bigger vehicle.

It is a burgundy 2005 Chevrolet Astro van with 50,000 miles on it. It has been a wonderful vehicle for us and we’ve had no problems with it. We bought it new in 2006. It has 8 passenger seating, air conditioning, power steering, power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise control, A/FM radio, CD player and a DVD system in the car (great for long trips with the kids!). It also has duel air bags, ABS (4 wheel drive), roof rack, privacy/tinted windows, running boards and Dutch doors in the back.

We are selling the van for $9,900. If interested, please contact us, come take a test drive and make us an offer. We are near Cleveland, Ohio.

Here are some photos of our van:

Week 31


Traben family at the Indians game a couple weeks ago.

I am starting Week 31 with Baby # 7! I can't believe how fast the pregnancy is going. We have a ton of things going on this summer with our family: baseball almost every night, swim lessons every day, Metroparks camps and 2 weddings coming up in July and August.
Ken's sister, Diana, is getting married on July 3rd and my sister, Mandy, is getting married on August 7th. Baby is due August 21st, so hopefully, we'll make it through everything and then baby will decide to come.

Here we are (me, Kateri and Luanna) at Diana's wedding shower on May 24th. Doesn't Kateri look just lovely with her chocolate sucker face!

The kids are rooting for a baby girl, to even things out a bit with the 4 boys and 2 girls. I just want a healthy baby...really does not matter to me. With all the nice weather, I've been walking the dogs a lot every day. Good for me and good for them too.
