A Quick Update

Well, we survived our first week back after the long winter break.  I actually don't have much news to report.  Justin continues to work long, long hours on his dissertation.  The boys and I are keeping busy.  Jacoby had a growth check last week and has grown almost an inch since October, so he's up in the 93rd percentile for height.

One of the best conversations we've had so far in 2014 occurred last weekend when the boys inquired how old they had to be to move out of the house (sniff).  When I told them that kids usually move out sometime between 18 and 20, the boys started making plans for their future.  Jacoby plans to move to Boulder, drive a VW Beetle (more fitting than you know for Boulder) and create the instruction manuals for Lego sets.  Morgan plans to move to New York City (over my dead you-know-what), drive a police car, and be a dentist.  So, now that we have all that settled, here are a few pictures from our week.  (:

 We spent a decent amount of time outside over the weekend playing in the snow

 The boys were over the moon with this snow pile

 Discussing all things Lego first thing in the morning...they love being the first ones up in the house.  They creep downstairs and quietly play until we get up.  They also really enjoy getting their own breakfasts on the weekends now.

I stenciled one of our walls.  Turned out great and was super easy (my inspiration came from: here)

Hope you all are having a wonderful week!
