I thought I would throw you off a little and send a message from us!
We haven't had any of that beautiful white snow around here, but we did lose a tree
to the cold whether.
Despite the cold weather, news channels have already begun their "watch your
kids around water" warnings. February first was their first water watch warning .... no matter how cold it might have gotten here, it is always summer in Arizona. (or at least in the valley)
Thomas is enjoying school a lot more now that he is part-time at work and has time for it. I just start teaching water aerobic classes on Fridays and Saturdays at the gym... all of you are welcome to come when you are in town. I can get free passes for you, just let me know if you are interested. I feel really good teaching, it is what I wanted to do. The kids are still going to work with me a playing in the child center while I work. They have really become comfortable there. Kirtlyn knows all of her friends by name and how to get what she needs from the teachers. Baby Thomas is all over the place and would be playing basketball with the big kids if we would let him. Instead he just climbs up things and throws around a little toy ball on his own.
Overall we are doing well! I have had a hard time adjusting to going back to work, but we worked out a schedule at home for date night, FHE, and house cleaning day. This is really a helpful schedule to me, and we made time for Thomas to sleep and he usually does all of his homework at school.
Sounds like everyone is doing well, Kirtlyn is coloring pictures for Grandma and Grandpa and pretends to call you on the phone all the time! It is cute!
Love
Thomas, Jenn, Kirtlyn, and Baby Tho
