Update

NATHAN- Getting his first tooth, so we thought, turns out to be his first four teeth-ALL AT ONCE. OUCH!! He is usually only sad before bed and early in the morning, so it could be worse. He is starting to wave and say hey (with a little grunt mixed in) when he sees the little girl babies around, it is super funny.

ALYSSA- Funny as ever. She is getting over her 'TV habit' and really enjoys her new doll house. She thinks McKell is the greatest thing ever and wants to be and do everything like her. She loves her gymnastic class and is always performing things for me. She 'sounds' out words -just mimics what she has heard McKell do but it is so funny cause she is so little. When asked what she would like to do all day she says 'I would love to eat all day'. Is enjoying being in the 'big' Sunbeam class at church.


MCKELL- Is still loving school and is turning into quite a good reader. She really enjoys math and likes to do little math problems that I write down for her- loves math just like her parents. She lives for her dance class each week and performed at a local JV basketball game. When I was picking up car pool last week the kids were involved in quite the kindergarten saga. Some boy had turned out the lights in the hallway and it was the biggest deal ever! Seriously you should have heard them talking, I was dieing.

PHIL- Is doing his Cardiology rotation and enjoying it. He is doing home call, it is so nice that he doesn't have to be at the hospital unless they call him in. He hurt his finger playing basketball the other night and thinks it might be broken, I don't.:) We went to a work party Friday night and it was so fun to see him joking around and talking to everyone that he is around all day- I don't get to see the Dr. (work) side of him too often. We went to the stake volleyball tournament yesterday morning. It was a lot of fun to play volleyball together, our team got second place.

NICOLE- Here is my update on my resolutions, people are wondering how I am doing with them all. Scripture reading- ok can do better, lipstick- check, exercise- doing ok not up to 5 days a week yet, go green- check-only 1 bottle of water so far, bed- done it a few times- need to be better, rs lessons- check, H2O- need to keep working on doing it every day, christmas cards-ask me in about 8 months, calling a friend- check- a very fun one, library- check, friend magazine- hmm how many days left to do it?, sunday tv- check, Alyssa tv- doing excellent, wake-up- ok, still hate it, pat. blessing- check, floss- check, scrapbook table- started- but not cleaned off just yet, clothes and shoes- check, scrapbook- not just yet, vote- sure will, temple- need to schedule the date, vegetables- doing ok but need to be better, VT- check.
OK that was super boring for all of you but you asked. I have more to add but I don't know if I can come up with them all, any thing I am missing?

OTHER THINGS- Super sad about President Hinckley, but can only smile when I think of him getting to be with his wife again. Can't wait to see my mom in a few weeks. A friend, Steve, is staying with us for a few weeks. Alyssa calls him Joe (from Blue's clues there is a Steve and Joe, so I guess she thought she could just choose which one was his name. Not enjoying the freezing artic cold and hoping it will stay warm (above freezing) till spring.
