I sure am enjoying all the pictures that are posted on here - that Newport sunshine has me a little green with envy, not to mention the Germany pictures! K&B - I apologize for not getting back to you sooner about the tickets to Sweet Charity, but I don't think I am going to use them. Isaac has a game tomorrow night and I see so little of my husband these days, I think I will elect to stay close to home. I appreciate the offer - not sure if Buffy would still like them for her and Brent or something.

No major new developments...as January approaches, a lot of our time is spent ironing out practice details. Appointments and phone calls to the lawyer and accountant really bring it all home and leave me with a bit of anxiety - but I have much faith in Dr. Davis and in David - I'm sure it will all work out in the end.

We went to visit Grandma Esther on her birthday - it was a great visit as she was in the most excellent of moods. She proclaimed that this was her best birthday ever and complained that she had to wait til she was 'almost dead' to have such a great birthday. She then went on to extoll the many virtues of Kenny and remind us that he bought that home she is in and that he used to date her caretaker, Maria. All in all, it was a very nice visit.

I am officially old (thanks for all the birthday wishes, by the way). After picking up Isaac and his friend from middle school, I had to sit there and listen to them talk about what girls liked which boys, etc. I am so not ready for this part of raising children.
Taylor is any parent's dream. He comes home, does his homework, brushes his teeth, takes a shower every day - I really don't have to tell him to do anything. Nice.
Parker is the polar opposite. I tell him 10 times and he still is slow to respond.
And Morgan, currently on a 'death' trip. We pass by the local cemetary fairly often and she is obsessed with the dead people in the boxes. We have had the whole death discussion, so now she will turn to me out of nowhere and say, "You are going to die, Mommy." Thank you very much.

Kim & Brooke - we need some Christmas ideas for your spouses, so if you could brainstorm on that a bit and e-mail us, it would be greatly appreciated!

Love you all - take care...
