Update 4/5/2008

Kate - She loves to tell people how old she is now that she is 4!  This week was spring break from school, so we spent a lot of time together.  She is enjoying her new gymnastics class  (mites 1) with both coaches KJ and Luna.  This is her first skill based class, and they actually get reviewed and must be able to complete certain skills before advancing to mites 2. 

Jack -  Wow, he can talk all of a sudden!  He can say some 2- word sentences, and knows when to say please and thank you.  H continues to be fearless - like deciding to try to go out the playhouse window last night instead of the door and landing on his forehead. Just a small scrape! We are still working on the potty, and now he is better at saying when he needs to go.  Not there 100% yet, but he does use the potty 3 or so times a day, and seems to like all the attention for using the big potty :).

Will - Getting bigger and bigger!   Even some 3-6 month clothes are getting a bit small!  He has been sleeping very well lately, 7-8 hours when he first goes to sleep.  After that stretch he will wake up after just 2-3, but that is ok with me for now!  He smiles and laughs and has started batting at toys.

Paul & Anjie - We are getting our back yard mud-pit fixed next week.  I will try to take some before and after pictures.  The story is that the dog (scout, bella, gritzy) used to dig under the fence, so we installed a gate between the yards.  Then it got muddy from them running, so we tried to seed, didn't work.  So I sodded it, but it didn't root, and then Scout dug it up.  So then I hired someone to sod it, it didn't root again, and Scout dug it up again.  So, it is a mud pit.  We are having flag stone installed, and a new drain system to keep all the water running.  Can't wait!!

First Day 4th Grade!

Bye Bye Birdie!

Tom was Ed Sullivan in the production this weekend of Bye Bye Birdie!  Kate donned her sock-hop costume from 5th grade to embrace the spirit of the show. For those of you unfamiliar with the musical,  Bye Bye Birdie is set in 1958 and was influenced by Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army in 1957.    Congrats, Tom!!

100 days left

We have just over 100 days left in the UK.  The kids are super excited to get back to the States, and we are too.  We have had a great time here, but look forward to being 'home'. This is the last week of term, and only term 3 left!  The last term supposedly goes fast, as the weather improves, there are Suzuki concerts, the talent show, and lots of field trips. We have some travel still lined up, plus some visitors to join us - looking forward to seeing you, Auntie Sarah and Uncle Aaron!  Stayed tuned for pictures of our last few adventures. We are starting to get the ball rolling on movers and pet shippers and all that fun stuff.  And we have to have the whole flat cleaned once our stuff is out. One step at a time!
