For the most part we've been preschooling, going to church and visiting with family. We went to visit my grandma in Potsdam in January to celebrate Christmas with her. I love seeing her & the way her face lights up when my kids charge into the room! We don't get to visit nearly enough. Please pray for her, as we have been noticing early signs of dementia. Her mother died from Alzheimer's 14 years ago, so it's probably hereditary. We also just passed the 3 year mark for my missing cousin, Melissa. There had seemed to be some recent findings in her case, but nothing has come of it so far. My aunt Bobbi has cancer again, as well. It started in her colon, moved to her liver & now is in her lung & colon again. We're praying they caught it all early, but it does mean more surgeries & chemo. Maybe radiation, too. She's still working on obtaining health insurance as well. My cousin Denise, just had a (big!) beautiful baby boy named Trent! We're so excited for her, Craig & their likewise beautiful girls.
Also, Keith & I have been facilitating a run through of Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover with our ABF at church. It's been a great process. We have learned a lot about our finances, and have been able to help our group work through theirs as well. Personally we're about to embark on Baby Step #2!
We've also been thinking about Kindergarten for Ian (I KNOW!!!). It's coming up fast! We have really enjoyed sending him to St. Paul's Lutheran in Batavia for preschool & have decided to continue sending him there next year. He had "visit Kindergarten day" this past Wednesday & he was so excited. It seems that most of his current class will be joining him again in the fall. We also ran into some friends who are also thinking about sending their son to SPL. I'll post a picture of VKD. (Ian's in the back left corner; green shirt.)
