What's Up?

You're probably wondering, because we haven't said anything since Christmas Eve. So, here goes.

We really enjoyed the holidays. We had a great Christmas at home, and then we went to my parents for a week-long family reunion. It was a lot of fun, and a blast to have everyone together. Too bad Brian's family was sick part of the time and had to miss some things.

Kyle, with some help, has been spending his free time working on a remodeling project. We are carving a bedroom (sort of) out of our unusually large master bedroom. Actually, it won't have a closet, and you'll have to walk through it to get to our room, so a realtor would consider it more of a sitting room in a master suite. But we are going to use it for a bedroom for the new baby. Last weekend my parents and Amy came to visit, and in one day the project went from stud framing to a wall with all the wall board in place and the french doors hung. Thanks Dad - your expertise and help made that go so much faster and smoother! Now there's just plaster, texture, paint, finish molding, door knobs, and carpet left to do. We have until May to finish, and I think we'll make it in plenty of time.

The children are back into the school routine, Megan changed piano teachers, Josh broke his glasses and got them fixed, I made it through a Primary quarterly activity, we survived a week of frigid cold, and now we are enjoying a week of spring warmth (except for the allergies it brought out in me). So, I think we are back to typical life!
