Fight with a floor and battling strep...

Hello everybody! Well, I didn't quite get an update out any sooner this time around. Oh well. This one will be fairly quick and no pictures this time.

Elizabeth had to endure swimming in PE for the past couple of weeks in school. She loves swimming, just not in the school P.E. setting. She registered for the 8th grade a couple of weeks ago. Her YW basketball team won every game and will begin region games next week. Her Jr. Jazz basketball team won every game except for one, so her team was thrilled about that. School is going really well for her.

Alesea has battled strep throat all week. No fun. She is finally on the up side again. It is great to see her cheerful again. She received an excellent report from her teacher for parent teacher conferences yesterday. She also lost another tooth yesterday. She does not have a gaping hole, however, because her permanent tooth grew in during the last month right behind the baby tooth. Alesea will be turning 6 this month and I can't believe it! Kids just grow too fast.

James had a fight with our wood floor this month and is the first of my kids to have stitches. He was running around the house playing SUPERMAN and tripped on his cape and fell chin first on to the floor splitting it open. He was not happy about the whole stitching procedure. When we took Alesea in to the same Insta Care for her strep throat James flipped out. He had been there just a week and a half earlier and feared what they might have to do to him. I had to explain a dozen times that we were there for Alesea and not for him. Finally, the promise of a sucker helped calm him down.

We are all ready for the spring and warm weather to get here. We are tired of being cooped up.

My brother, David, and his wife Patty will be arriving back in the States in April and will be here in the U.S. until they head out to South Korea for 2 years in June.

Finally, we just want everybody to know that the 6th member of our family should be arriving the end of August.

Take care and we hope life finds you happy and well!
