January 2010

January has come and gone! We are ready for spring! We had a great month! It is hard to believe that Kate is 2 years old! She had a great birthday celebrating at one of her favorite places: the Merry Go Round! She also had a very exciting birthday because it SNOWED on her 2nd birthday and everyone was off work that day! The girls enjoyed making snow angels on the driveway and playing in (what was very little actually) snow! Only in the south!! The girls were also very excited to start gymnastics and ballet this month! Kate is in a mommy and me class and enjoyes doing summersaults and walking the balance beam! Emma is in a private ballet class with three other little girls, where she is practicing her ballet moves, and then she comes in to do some gymnastics. She too enjoys the balance beam and swinging on the rings! We will see if this sport is what the girls really get into! It's fun to see them smile while they are learning new things! We hope to stay well this spring after a rough few months of sickness. We took Kate to a specialist, where they definitly say she is an asthmatic. She is on some inhalers and Singulair to help fight off common colds, so we hope it does the trick! The girls both still enjoy school and their teachers and classmates! They continue to be VERY busy, VERY energetic, and LOVE each other very much!
Mike continues to work hard balancing school and work and us girls at home! We are very proud of him and all he's doing! He's got CHINA marked on the calendar for next October, which is very exciting!
Teaching keeps me busy and I'm counting down the days until Spring Break and then Summer!
We hope you all are doing well! Enjoy the photos and the videos below!
Lots of love,
Amy, Mike, Emma, and Kate
