The boys are doing great. They're enjoying playing outside in the snow, reading, and going on all sorts of imaginative adventures with each other. Jacoby is anxiously counting down the days until his birthday. I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that we're going to have a 5-year old! We're looking forward to a fun time celebrating him later this week. I've got a great birthday treat for preschool picked out and will post pictures once I've got them put together.
Justin went to a dissertation proposal defense for one of his classmates this week (after a 6-month lag time, proposals are finally being reviewed). It sounds like it was relatively painless and was good for Justin to see what's expected. The professors mentioned Justin is up soon, which was good to at least have acknowledgement that they have him in mind. He's working hard to wrap up his draft so he can send it off to his committee. As usual with little kids, it's hard to find enough time in the day to work on it as much as he'd like.
I've been working on a few projects at home as time and budget allow. The biggie is cleaning out the maternity/baby stuff. The major categories for all of the stuff are donation/give-away/consignment, family, and garage sale. The thrift store picked up a big load on Friday and I'm slowly sorting things for a garage sale I hope to have in the spring. Most of my maternity stuff was given away to a friend at work. So, it's nice to be getting rid of "stuff" and to also pay it forward since we were blessed by so much generosity when we were first starting our family.
We enjoyed a walk to the lake to see how it's covered in ice and snow.
This boy loves all things snow-related
Morgan loves to pedal his tricycle at dangerous speeds
Here's our newest picture collage...I'm about out of wall space. (:
I think it turned out pretty well
