Beaming With Pride

Some major accomplishments in our family this month. After a rigid five-day school week, Megan has finally finished another semester at the illustrious UVU. And we expect again that her grades will be the all-vowel combination of grades (A's for those too tired to think). She gives up so much and works so hard for it. We are so proud of her. Just another semester and a half to go for our soon to be college grad! And she's more beautiful every day that passes.

Adelaide advanced in her gymnastics class. She is still loving it, so she will be back at it after the new year. She is loving the balance beam and uneven bars. But the cartwheel is still proving to be her biggest nemesis, but I get a big smile every time I see her try. She is also loving to practice drawing, reading, and writing. This little girl just loves to learn and try new things. She wants her next adventure to be Kung-Fu. We will see how that works out. My goal was to never have a kid that could beat me up . . ..
Reggie? What has Reggie accomplished? Well, he still laughs and smiles at just about everything. He likes all foods and having said foods put into his mouth. He sleeps well enough that we are quietly maintaining a level of sanity. He thinks Adelaide is hilarious, and in him, Megan finally has a mama's boy. But new accomplishments? He still looks like this during belly time and crawling practice. He still goes to the bathroom on himself each day, and saddest of all, in our market and economy, he is still unable to find good employment. But we sure are proud of him for trying!

Congrats to Megan and Addie! I miss those girls. And I don't care if Reggie still goes bathroom on himself, Holden still does it too...at least they're not alone in that boat. But Davey, you didn't mention what you have accomplished? I guess it's good to put the focus on your loved ones :)

Merry Christmas guys

Speaking from experience, I can assure May that school will only get easier from here. One and a half semesters to go? At this point, you can knock that out in your sleep. Congratulations and stay on your grind!

Reggie's butt looks awesome.

Hey Reggie's a month younger than Holden and they're pretty much at the same stage of crawling. So really he is advanced. I agree with Ari. What have you been up to, Davey?
