A Quick Howdy Do

Hi all. Well we had a great trip to Memphis. Robert and Peggy, thank you so much for all of our goodies. It was so good to see you both. The kids now think that they should receive gifts from November (birthdays) to February - since we stretched Christmas out this year. I'm wondering if they are going to be a bit upset when all of the focus is on Barry in March (his birthday). I didn't take very many pictures in Memphis, but if I get some of the pics from Barry's sister's camera I will post them.

My schedule is changing a bit. I have been working two days a week (T/Th) at the preschool at my church. Well, my co-teacher fell at home this past weekend and broke her leg. She is going to have surgery tomorrow and then will be out for the next six weeks - poor Mrs. Sydney. And I was just telling her the other day that I didn't see how she worked all four days of school. I guess I will find out soon. Oh, and then my Monday/Wednesday counterpart is pregnant and due the middle of April. I guess I will be working "full-time" until May. I have it so rough, don't you agree.

We just had parent-teacher conferences with Caleb's teacher and she said that he is doing well. Main issue is that he has trouble transitioning from one thing to another if he has not completed the first activity. I wonder where he got that?! He is reading very well and still enjoys school. I can't believe that we are almost finished with our first year of school.

Hannah is doing well at school. She is always coiming up to me asking if she can go home with one of her friends of if one of her friends can sleep over. I mean she is 4 for crying out loud. I didn't realize that 4 year olds knew about sleepovers.

Hannah is having to fight right now with pneumonia. Her lungs were really sick when she was a baby so when she gets a cold it hits her lungs hard and we have to watch her closely so she won't crash with a bad pneumonia. I am so thankful for doctors, medicines and nebulizers. Spring cannot get here soon enough.

And I guess I can't leave Barry out. He is getting over a little sinus trouble but is back in the swing of things today. He's working and working out hard. Barry's parents have loaned us their video camera so we are hoping to get some videos of Barry's lifts and then we will just have to figure out how to get them posted. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Well, I guess that's all folks - at least for right now. Uh oh, spell check is not working and I need to go fix some dinner so I don't have time to re-read. Please overlook any mistakes.
