Allison's application for Charter Academy has been handed in and now we just wait until March 23 to find out if she is in or not. Allison was very hesitant to be attending Charter, but she is slowly getting excited. She knows it's an all College Prep course, and she has to wear an uniform; but she also learned that they go on Monthly Field trips, have a week long trip somewhere, and have several clubs she is interested in, including Key Club. We know the smaller school, the dress code and the structure will help Allison succeed.

Catching up....
Nicole & I at Coeur d' Alene Lake
Amahl & the Night Visitors
The week following Thanksgiving, Alex starred (yes lead role) in his first Opera; Amahl and the Night Visitors. The production was part of Gonazaga's Music Departments' Christmas program, and they needed a young boy to play the lead role. They had a few 100 children that auditioned and once they heard Alex...they were sold that he was the one. Alex's under-study was a Gonzaga student. He did an amazing job.
His Auntie Nicole flew up to see his performance (and crash the Costco Christmas Party) and she was amazed that Alex could sing like that. He is amazing...but we are keeping that a secret. No need for him to get an ego!
The Snow Storm
Kids the night the storm started. (Pay attention to the picnic table in the background!)
Our amazing snow storm has brought us over 110 inches to date (Jan. 3rd). We have killed our December record by 50 inches! We have another storm coming in tonight...and then we are suppose to warm up to the high 30's all next week. (Which means a lot of melting, slush and ice!)
Backyard (picnic table...) 24 hours later.
Christmas
Ahh...Christmas time! The kids had an amazing Christmas. Again, it was another Haustein first...we were alone. The original plan was that my parents would come up everyother year, and this year would have been their year to come up. BUT, with my Oma having hip replacement surgery (and my mom having to take 3 weeks off for that), my mom then winning her trip to Aruba (and my father having to take unplanned time off for that) and my father planning on retiring in a year...it just didn't work out.
Alli & Mommy being silly in our masks from Bah.
Once we were up (and my coffee was made) we opened presents for 1 1/2 hours! It was incredible. Corey made us Pancakes with eggs in the middle and then we went out sledding and snow-boarding for the afternoon. It was a wonderful Christmas!

Welcome Back....
Welcome back to the Haustein / Goal Blog site. Now that Ironman is over...it's back to the reality that the world doesn't revolve around me!
What's new in our lives? Well, stay tuned and find out. I have really become use to blogging, so I will attempt to update this site at least weekly, if not more.
I really enjoyed (and saved) all of your thoughts, wishes and congratulations on my Ironman. Please keep the emails and comments coming. It makes me miss home, that much less!
