Hi all,

There is not much new going on. The normal crazy schedule of work, school, kids. You know! Jim is getting over a sinus infection which is good because we all know how men are when they are sick. Ha, ha. The kids are doing good in school. We had a little trouble with Matt liking school but with the encouragement of a wonderful teacher and a sticker chart, everything seems to be getting back on track again. Alyssa is reading a lot. She just finished her 15th Rebeccah Caudil(is that how you spell it) book. She gets to go on a special trip with the other kids who have read 14 or more so she is excited about that. Blake is finally coming out of his horrific stage of getting into things(especially toilets and the ice dispenser). Those are his personal favorites. He is a lot of fun and we all enjoy to hear him talk. We are trying not to spoil him too much but it is hard with such older siblings. Hope all is well with all of you.

Kendra
