Um, so the highlights since the middle of November: we had a huge Thanksgiving at Skip and Joan's with a ton of people and I made twelve things in one day because I'm CRAZY, but they all turned out pretty good. Busy December as usual. James got a Wii for Christmas but left the next day to spend the holiday with his dad in Utah. He had a blast up there. Amy Lou came down here and spent Christmas with us and that was fun. She brought a friend named Speed,
January: I resubmitted my novel with the change requests and now it's just a waiting game. James is doing well in school but still has room to improve. However, he started Lego Engineering classes on Saturdays and loves that. He also participated in the Pinewood Derby and did really well, much better than last year.
Grant is almost ready to walk. He'll do a few toddling steps between Kenny and I but he still lacks a little confidence. It won't be long, though. He says "Dada" and "thank you" and uses his all-purpose sign for "milk" to demand things. He can also sign finished, bye-bye, and nods or shakes his head to answer questions. He's showing more and more personality, most of it in the stubborn department, but he's a lot of fun.
Kenny is still busy at Allergan and enjoys being able to work from home two days a week. I enjoy having him around, too. We're falling off the good eating wagon on a semi-regular basis, but not doing too badly, so we'll hold on to that.
The plan now is to keep up with the weekly Sunday updates,, so once I have a week or two under my belt, I'll let everyone know. Right now, though, I feel a little like I'm talking to myself. Then again, how is that different than usual?
