An Update

All is well with us these days.  We're busy, but life is good.  Signs of spring are appearing and our tulips are coming up around the yard.  I spent time outside cleaning up and trimming today.  Morgan helped me water.  He's very careful with the baby tulips and takes good care of them.  We've been talking about our garden and what we're going to plant this year. 

Some other news:

**The boys went to the dentist and have no cavities.  Jacoby, however, has permanent teeth coming up behind his baby teeth.  Which means we're probably having baby teeth pulled soon to stop the shark bite look...sigh.

**Justin's dissertation proposal defense is scheduled for April 22.  FINALLY!!!!

**We finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and then watched the movie.  I think the boys were less than impressed with the movie after really enjoying the book.  Now we're reading Little House in the Big Woods.  I'm not sure it's going to hold their attention, but so far they ask for it every night.

**The boys watched the first Star Wars movie.  They pretty much re-enact it everyday in their play.   They are crazy about super heroes these days.  And they're pretty much inseparable and play together constantly.

**Jacoby is doing well in school.  His second report card came home last week, and he's right where he should be.  We enrolled him in a Tues/Thurs summer program at a school right down the street from us.  It's expensive but we feel fortunate to have the option because the other alternatives are summer camp programs that just don't work with our circumstances (namely the food allergies).

**We hope to take a trip to Montana during Jacoby's spring break as long as the weather holds.  We're looking forward to seeing family.

We took advantage of a blustery day and tried out a kite Jacoby got for his birthday

Happy Spring Everyone!
