Brock:
He is reading like a champ. It actually amazes me how well he does. He now spells out thing he wants that Blake cant have like going "OUT" or having "GUM" and so forth. He is doing great at school and loves it tons. His class just did a mini play where he was a very cool Indian. He didnt wear a shirt and had face paint.
Blake:
He is talking great and now can say Orange Julius and Diego very well. I personally am very sick of Diego, but it keeps Blake quiet and happy. He is our family character. His facial expressions are classic and keep us entertained. He loves family prayer and makes Daddy say many prayers before bed (a delay technique I think).
Jack:
He is snotty like the rest of us, but for him it means eating less. He wants to be happy but is miserable. His fever only lasted a day and so I am happy it isnt something horrible. He rolls around like he owns the place and has started pulling his knees to his chest (while laying on his stomach) and then pushing his body forward. He is only 4.5 months!!! What am I going to do? I try to discourage it. I am just afraid he will be crawling in a month.
Jeff:
Interview after interview and nothing. Lately the interviewers say that hundreds of people are applying for each job. That doesnt encourage me much. Jeff just hung christmas lights on the house. It took him a whole afternoon. Well they worked for about two hours and the dumb walmart lights stopped working (they were brandnew). The Lowes lights from our old house are working great. He is going to take them down and return them. He was sooo proud of how the house looked and now we have non lit up lights on the house.
Katie:
Same ol Same ol. I have decided I am now taking donations to the Katie and Jeff fund. Any takers? Ah well just thought I'd try. I just found out Tim joined the army. He leaves in Jan for 5 months and then will move shortly after next summer. This poses a whole new things to worry about. How will visitation work and so forth. I guess I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

totally cute kids. I didn't know brock was reading. Sucks about the lights,
It is going to be a year of big milestones for your family. All the kids are at those ages where they do something amazing every day.
I totally get Diego...as much as she annoyed me, Dora was my very best friend for many years.
Jeff IS going to get a job soon...I FEEL it in my bones!!!
Meri's right. It's going to happen when no one is expecting it. Update on Jack. He got a tooth. So that explains his grumpiness and not wanting to nurse. We love you and are proud of you and you know that we are there for you. It will be OK.
Hi guys! Evan says that you called and asked about Mary Kay and YES, YES, YES, there IS a family discount, and that goes for everyone who reads this comment.
I feel your woes over the lights. This is the first year since I was a teenager that I put lights on outside and a whole string of them went out. It looks terrible, but we plug them in and let them shine every night anyway.
Hang in there! Happy Holidays!
love,
Cheryl
