Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all! :)

Colin had his 2 month check-up today. He weighs 21 pounds 11 ounces! He got 3 shots (5 immunizations) and 1 oral immunization. He cried, but was better after I picked him up off the table. He is cooing and smiling all the time! I like to say, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy" (in different tones) and he talks and smiles after each one!

James is doing well - he is playing on his Leapster 2 all the time and getting really good at his math skills because of it! And, we are working on reading the clock. He has been able to read the numbers, but he would say, "One, two, three, four" for "12:34." It's interesting to see the progression in his skills! James is very verbal and he an enormous vocabulary! (Today at Target he said, "I want the one with the gentleman in the airplane." I was buying Cold-Eze and he wanted me to get Airborne.) He is interacting more and more with Colin, which is nice because I feel like he is starting to like him more!

I am registered for 2 classes and they start next week. I am anxious, but excited. I will have to take 2 classes in the summer and then I will student teach in the fall!

Larry is going on his annual hunting trip with (my) Dad - he leaves tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday (as long as they get drawn). It's a state sponsored (or something like that) hunt, so they have to get picked to participate.

Last weekend, we went to the Japanese Tea Gardens with Becca (sister) and Brandon (her bf). James had a blast! Colin was in the carrier and slept through most of it! It was pretty warm - almost 80 degrees - so we went to Freddy's for custard afterward.

Life is getting crazy, but it's fun! Hope all is well with all of you! :)

OH! I forgot to tell you - Larry was offered the full-time job with SAWS!! Next week they will start the background check and physical and all the other stuff that comes with it! (They just did a background check and physical in June, but they want to do it again. I think it's a waste of money, but I guess it's probably necessary.)

Have a good one!
