Back and Better Than Ever

Well maybe not better than ever, but here we are, back with another blog update. Rather than try to recap the past few weeks for you, we will give you a general summary of life for each of the occupants of the house.

Christine: Work is going well. She has been very busy, which makes the days go quickly. She has stopped writing her to-do list on paper because she is afraid of killing to many trees and creating a world wide ink shortage. Plus, its much easier to edit on the computer. Her No Child Left Behind report passed with flying colors, which was a huge relief for her. She is currently with 4 separate students for a half hour each, and the school is currently trying to give her three more, which means she would officially have to add 1.5 hours to her day, making her the only person alive to live a 25.5 hour day. For those of you doing the math, that means she lives 343.5 days to our 365 days. So when the rest of the world is on December 31, 2009, Christine will only be in the second week of December. Crazy stuff.

Andy: Outside of performing obscure and completely pointless calendar math tricks, Andy has been busy at work. December was a slow month in the clinic for a number of reasons, but so far this is the busiest January he has ever had. Other than that, life pretty much consists of spending as much time as possible with his girl and his little boys.

Alex: Alex is still obsessed with Thomas the Train. He has a number of Thomas toys, multiple Thomas books, several Thomas DVDs, and has even developed and insatiable thirst for the comedy stylings of the late George Carlin (the narrator of the majority of Thomas episodes). Okay, so he doesn't care much for George Carlin, which at this age is probably best. Other than that, he is going to daycare (and coming home with occasional battle scars), and still loves playing ball and generally treating his mommy and daddy like his own personal jungle gym.
Zach: Like most babies, Zach is growing like a weed. He is only waking up 1 time per night, for which mom and dad are truly grateful. He is sitting up in his Bumbo with surprisingly good neck and head control, and smiles a little more every day.
And now onto a few pictures:

Thanks for the update! What great pictures of the boys. Glad everything is going well. I would keep an eye on that George Carlin fascination, though.
