January Update

Hi to everyone! We are getting back to normal after all the holiday madness. Thank you to everyone who made the kids holidays so special. They are back to school, back to activities and loving all this rain. Our neighbors even brought some snow back from the mountains and all the neighborhood kids were having snowball fights last night.
Raquel recently saw an orthodontist and had an evaluation. She apparently has a narrow jaw and needs to begin treatment now while she is still growing. As the doctor was explaning every possible situation, she overheard the word "extraction" and started arguing with the dr that that would not be necessary. Luckily the dr said he has a daughter just like Raquel and talked her down!
She is still swimming and jumps in that pool on COLD evenings! Ethan and I pack blankets and snacks and sit huddled up on the sidelines!
Ethan will be going back to the dr this week to follow up on his growth situation...will update when I know more. His big day was when Auntie Erin went to his classroom to volunteer one day. He felt like a VIP... I got to babysit baby Jett and almost forgot what to do with a 10 month old..it has been a while! Luckily he is easily amused and the dogs and a truck did the trick! Now Raquel is requesting visitors to her class. Here is some pics of our happenings...
