Hello Again

It's been far too long.  We've had visitors, school, and lots of work.  We did ring in 2012 with a new tradition that we adopted from Heidi's family in making and consuming Olibollen.  We had a great start to the new year with a big win from our beloved Wolverines in the Sugar Bowl!

Heidi has been working on her photography and gotten back in to running regularly.  She's been using the jogger-stroller to take (or pick up) Ella to school in the morning which allows her to get a solid run in with the kids.  She has also been attending Bible Study Fellowship weekly which gives her some quality adult time and a exhaustive look into God's Word.

Ella has continued to improve all of the fundamentals of the 3 Rs.  We have also seen her make great advancements in her interpersonal and communication skills.  She has continued gymnastics and is working on the art of handstands.

With Ella being gone most of the day, Olivia has been getting some good attention.  Her vocabulary has blossomed.  She might be the new joker of the family and she loves to wear headbands.

Owen is a man-child.  Having just turned 9 months old last week, he is not far off from walking.  He has seven visible teeth and is eating three meals of solid food a day in addition to supplementing with mama's milk.  He denies the bottle...no matter what it contains.

All in all, we're off to a fast and phenomenal start to 2012.  Incredibly enough, March is quickly approaching.  Enjoy your moments!
