Nice Surprise

JD got a call this week asking him to start work today, which is two week before they originally wanted him to start!

Lots to catch up on

First of all,JD GOT A JOB!!!
We are very excited that he now has a job, the only thing that is a bummer is that he does not start until Feb. 12. He is still applying to jobs that would be closer or make more money, but for now at least we will have some more money coming in!

We had a fun time on New Years going to our friends, Jeff and Tiscia. We ended up getting sick that next night and it was not fun at all. I started getting a cold, along with the flu bug. I'm over the flu, but still can not get over this cold.

Miah has been enjoying being back to school. They send a skills workbook home for the kindergarteners to work on at home with their parents, then pass it off at school. She has been working really hard and doing well. She hopes to be the first student to finish.

Isaac is making a lot of progress lately. He has started spelling his name, although one letter is not right, but it is cute, I don't have the heart to correct him (see video). He has been making progress with his letters, numbers and colors . . .finally! He is tricky because he has to want to do it otherwise he refuses. In other big new, he is no longer sucking his fingers. He hasn't been for weeks. It was nice because we were encouraging him not to, but he really just stopped on his own.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Our house is finished and ready! Yeah! We are ready for a visit from the Big Man . . .Santa!

Are we ready for Christmas?

What do you think? Are we ready for Christmas? NO!

Yes, that is the tree in the back of our kitchen. All of our living room is in the kitchen because the upstairs apartment had a flood on Friday night that came down into ours!

The carpet people came and sprayed on Saturday and are suppose to be coming today to clean the carpets. It is now 4:30 and I have been waiting ALL DAY for them and they are still not here!
We then have to wait for it to dry before putting our living room back together again.

Edit: The floor boards were not dry enough for them to fix everything! They are coming back tomorrow. I hope our floor will be fixed and dry before Christmas!
