Robert - Still plugging along with the SBA. We had a few stressful moments when the government was deciding if they should shut down this year. Luckily, Robert now works under the DC office so even if the government shuts down it shouldn't affect his job. At church, he is still 1st counselor in the Stake Sunday School. He is in limbo since there is no Stake Sunday School president right now. He's waiting to hear if he'll stay or be released. He's enjoying the easy calling. :) Robert will be coaching Bruce's soccer team in the Spring. As always, he is coming up with new business ideas on a daily basis and hoping to get back to visit Argentina sometime soon.
KaDee - I'm holding down the fort at home. I do a lot of driving back and forth from school and to and from activities. I really hope to go back to school sometime this year. I am getting my health back on track(namely, my anemia) and have seen two Dr.'s in December. I see another this month. I still work in the Young Women's program at our church as 2nd Counselor. I am learning a lot and now scared to death for my kids to become teenagers. :)
Bruce (8)- Bruce has his last competitive soccer tournament next week. After that he'll do recreational in the Spring with Robert as coach. It'll be a nice change of pace. He has been invited back to the competitive team in the Fall. We haven't decided if we'll do it or not yet.(a lot of changes and politics happening) Bruce really loves Cub Scouts and has the best leader ever. Seriously, she is wonderful and Bruce looks forward to it each week. Bruce moved up to the Valiant 8 class at church. He is getting taller every day. At the end of this month he will get braces and a thing on top of his mouth to widen his jaw. Ouch.
Linda (7) - Linda is now in senior primary in CTR 7. Her and Bruce are really becoming great friends now. I think they've realized that they're practically the same age. It makes me happy to see them love each other so much. Linda starts a singing group next week. It's like a little show choir. She'll do that through April. I hope to get her in choir next year at school as you can start in 3rd grade. In the Fall she'll go back in to ballet. You have to be 7 1/2 to get into the class I want her in. Perfect timing. Linda will be baptized this year. She turns 8 on Thanksgiving day.
Jane (5) - Jane is an excellent reader and student. The girl crawls around more than she walks because she is always pretending to be a pony or a puppy. I really want to get her in to swimming but believe it or not there aren't many options around here during the year. We're working on it.
Claire (3) - Claire moved out of the Nursery class at church and in to Sunbeams. She is the only girl with about 7 boys. She loves that she is getting "big". She is social and friendly to everyone she meets. When I went to check on her in primary she said, "Mom, what are you doing here?" As in...I don't need you here because I'm big now. The primary president said in the middle of primary she belted out the song I Am A Child of God very loudly. :) Her teacher said she keeps the boys in her class in line and on task. Love this girl.
