We aren't too good at this yet. It doesn't seem like alot happens in a short amount of time that is blog worthy. To update you a little about us.....
*Mike still enjoys sleeping any chance he gets.
*Jen keeps busy just staying on top of household stuff. I am so glad I don't have to go into the office on a regular basis. I am looking forward to Christmas baking and visiting the Utah family for Christmas!! A little over a month ago, I got my hair done, as I usually do. It turned out mostly purple. I was worried at first but with a few hair washings it has calmed down. I still have a few streaks of purplish here and there.
*Allie has just compiled her own recipe collection for a Young Women's in Excellence project. She has learned how to make the infamous "Runaways". They were a huge hit, as always! Allie has learned to straighten her hair and loves doing it everyday, in my bathroom, at 6am.
*Amelia loves going to swim team which has recently started back up again. She impresses me because when she was younger she hated the water and wouldn't put her face in it.
*Anna has amblyopia, which in layman's terms is a lazy eye. The poor dear not only has to wear glasses but has to patch her strong eye to help the weak eye become strong. We are towards the end of the window of opportunity. She, like Allie, has inherited some undesirable genes. Poor Anna has a chronic stuffy nose. Luckily, I have found a doctor who is treating her with allergy drops which are working wonders. Then there's her narrow dental arch. She has been in a palatal expander until a month ago. It had to be removed because of decay. (Go figure!) She'll get a new one after the first of the year. To top it off, she has eczema which we have to stay on top of daily. She is a trooper. I am proud of her!
*Our extended family.....Chloe, Sadie and Lady. Chloe is a golden retriever. Sadie is a yorkie and Lady is a calico cat. We love them all but only Sadie is allowed to sleep inside at night. We're thinking we'll bring her with us at Christmas??!!
