January Update!

I am sad to report that I have forgotten my camera on almost every thing we have done this past month and the couple times I remembered I had dead batteries! So since I picture is worth a thousand words, and I don't have any pics, I guess you get the thousand words! Just thought I would recap our January! 2010, has already been kinder in the health department for our family, which we are so grateful!! Here are the highlights of our month:
*Emma had her third set of ear tubes put in! Did great!!
*No one had a cold or sickness the whole month!! I can hardly believe it!
*We painted our family room! It is in african decor and we love it. Thanks
to
my dad and mom for the decorations that add so much! And, Jacey we have
finally
found a place for Landon's wonderful painting, yeah!!
*Madelyn drove me crazy the first three weeks with tormenting her baby
sister,
until I wised up and realized she is just so very bored being ready for
Kindergarten now, but still not going for 1 1/2 years!!
*To solve Madi's bored problem, she enrolled in Swim lessons and loves it!!
*Emma did basketball. They only had 2 girls and 1 boy from her school sign up
so Taylor got to play again with the 1st graders! They both loved it!
*Olivia learned to pull herself up on things and now won't go to sleep because
she would rather stand up in her crib! So fun!
*Had a whole week of 40 degrees which we got to use our new bikes!
*Joseph and I rotated going to the gym at 5:00am!

We had a great month. Usually I am really depressed in January, but this month has been good and we are loving normal life. As we struggled the past year, I kept saying I just want our normal routine back and now that it is, I need to express my gratitude! Hope January was good to you all as well!
