Update

Well, this week was our first week "on schedule" in Utah. The older boys both opted to enroll in Elementary School here, so they are both students at Saratoga Shores Elementary School. So far they are both enjoying it. The principal is extraordinarily nice. Kenneth is in the A.L.L. (accelerated learning lab) class. His teacher is out having twins, so he arrived the same day as the substitute and had a great day since he knew just as much as the teacher! Daniel was very frustrated that he didn't know everyone else's names the first day, but he has set a goal to learn one person's name each day and he is keeping up with his goal. Caitlin started pre-school at a house down the street on Wednesday and she is loving it. Both boys had basketball practice this week and a game, and it was fun to see them play. Daniel's game wasn't much more advanced than last year (lots of un-called traveling, etc.), but Kenneth's game was really exciting. He surprised us with his shooting skills and he is still able to run down anybody on the court. He scored 4 baskets (8 points) and his team won 22-10. It is nice to start out with a win. Every boy on his team made a basket except one, and they played really well together considering they had only had one practice.

I got to attend a "girl's night out" with a couple of girls from high school and I had a great time. Steve took us all to a movie yesterday afternoon - the 2nd Chipmonk's movie - and that was great fun. Then we went to Ben's ice hockey game. It always amazes me how physical that game is. Ben is 6 feet tall and not a small boy, and they body check him like he weighs 20 pounds! Wowee.

The baby had a milestone last night - he only woke up twice! Once at 1am and once at 5am. The unfortunate thing was that after the 5am feeding, he thought it would be good to be awake for the day. :( Steve was a champ and got him back to sleep after I wrestled with him for 45 minutes. He's just so darned cute, though, it's impossible to get mad at him when he's smiling at you!

We are all doing well, despite the FREEZING weather.
