New Year - New Lives

This year has brought a lot of changes for our family. Heather just started prerequisite classes for a Masters in Public Policy at BYU. They are challenging classes, but she is doing very well. She is also studying to take the GRE on Saturday. She will do so well. She is also still working from home for the Family Leader Network.

I just started working for a company in Orem, doing inventory management systems. It is interesting, and will be challenging as well. I have applied at several law schools, and should hear back from them in February or March.

Little Ashley is 3 years old going on 18. She is a great helper with the baby, and tells us she has 5 children of her own. She loves playing Mary and Baby Jesus, dressing up as Cinderella or a ballerina, and dancing in the kitchen with her papa. Her dynamic personality lends itself to be the sweetest thing you have ever met, or a firecracker that shakes the house. She started ballet in the fall and absolutely loves it.

Little Isaac will turn 2 in February, though if you ask him, he says he's 4. He talks up a storm, and most days will find him and Ashley talking to Grandpa Glenn, Grandma Ann, Uncle Jake, Cinderella, Grandma Cathy, cousin Molly and nameless others on their little play phones. Isaac also likes riding his little car he got from Santa, reading books, and running and screaming around the house with Ashley. He is adorable, and he plays the part so well, his mother can hardly ever get upset with him.

Little Sicily is our Angel-Baby. Heather said we can have 12 more if they are all like her (though I am not so sure about that proposition). She is usually so happy, and loves to snuggle, sleep and smile. Recently, she has become very impatient as she watches us eat meals, and when in range, will reach out to grab whatever food is passing by. She loves eating more solid foods once in a while, though at the end it appears as if the food had exploded in front of her face.

We will try to keep this somewhat current.
