Mid February

I cannot believe how fast time flies these days.

Jeremy is getting an interim appliance before his final round of braces, which could easily be a few years away yet, rather than this year as we originally thought. He gets the spacers for it today, then the appliance next week. I think his mouth will be sore tonight! He is praying to know whether to play baseball this spring/summer or not. He does plan to do swim team this summer and play football this fall. He is showing interest in playing the trumpet, but we'll see. This was a new desire he mentioned just last week.

Joanna is currently in a growth spurt. She is eating quite heartily, which is nice for a change. We hope to register her for preschool on Monday. Can't believe she is 3 already. I would say she is 95% day-potty-trained. Nowhere close at nap/night yet.

Jessica is learning new words all the time, although I doubt anyone else can understand her. She still screeches a lot in frustration though.

Alex continues to love his job. He continues to cook more & more of our stuff from scratch, which is nice. I am helping a good bit too.

I started doing taxes for a one-woman firm here in town last week. I work 2-3 nights per week, just 2 hrs a night. It is nice to get my brain active and get out.

I think that's it in a nutshell right now.
