We enjoyed ourselves over the Christmas and New Year holidays. Erik was off, and we visited museums, completed some odds and ends around the house, and enjoyed playing with the boys.
Winters in Texas are typically mild, except for right now. It is downright cold!
Merritt is leaving babyhood behind. He is walking more and more. He is signing "more/all done/night-night" and adding words to those as well. He loves his Daddy and playing with his brother. You better watch what you eat around him because he wants a little of everything he sees.
Everett went to Primary as a Sunbeam for the first time on Sunday. He is growing up to be such a sweet boy. We talked about this transition from nursery to a "class" for several weeks. He thinks that they should still have toys in class, but overall, he says that he liked Primary. We've struggled in finding a good pediatric neurologist for him . . . I miss the medical care in the DC area.
Erik is busy at work and being a good dad. He is also busy with helping others find jobs. He always takes time to help around the house.
Sheila is balancing motherhood with house-elf duties and some community college courses related to financial management. She is also preparing to lecture at a community college at the end of the month on education and at-risk students.
We recently had some old friends over for a couple of days, and we had a great time playing with their son Max and just chatting up a storm.
We do have pictures. Someday I'll get a chance to post them.
