Luke - started and recently stopped karate. Got his yellow belt. Competed in the First Lego League, his team got 8th out of 19th, it was their first time competing. The top 7 went to state so they were bummed. Is still studying for the Knowledge Bowl competition at school, for which I help coach. Luke's teacher says he is on at least a 7th grade reading level.
Grace- taking piano lessons, doing great at reading. She loves math but is having a hard time with coins. She is really into crafts and loves to wear makeup - only at home, Mom says.
Liam- is ready to start soccer again in the spring. Is getting over an ear infection, loves Wild Kratts on PBS and Dinosaur Train. Has been super sneaky breaking into Luke's room and taking his Silly Putty and Legos.
Claire- still obsessed with Minnie Mouse, is now obsessed with Micky Mouse Clubhouse on Disney. I just cut her some bangs which Adam hates. He says she looks like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music. Oh well it's just hair. Has been unrolling all the toilet paper while she goes to the bathroom. At least she is going to the bathroom.
Me- Reading up a storm, trying to exercise more, eat more veggies. Got a nasty case of bronchitis which I am still getting over. Still have a croaky voice, I think I did something funky to my vocal chords with all the coughing.
Adam- practicing this Michael Jackson song on the guitar that he learned to play on YouTube, it's pretty awesome. Working, working and more working. Teaching a class at BYU, listening to the Hunger Games on his way to work, quoting it when we get home. I have convinced him to listen to it because I have read the trilogy and want to go see the movie when it comes out.
Scout - got fixed, no more humping as far as we can tell. We hated the cone of shame but it was worth it.
Spook - keeps losing his collar so I have given up for now.
The hermit crabs and fish are still alive, thanks to me.
That's about it. We got a new iMac so I am super excited, hopefully I will be able to post pictures easier than on our old PC. I hope to keep updating this blog, life has just been super busy. Ta ta!
