Yes that is the title of my blog, Children. I have come to learn that going on vacation can completely change a 2 year old's sleep habits and fears. Andrew now thinks there are sharks living in his room and is completely terrified to go to sleep alone. I asked Peter last night why this happened. He replied "Maybe it is because we have had it WAY TOO EASY." I guess I am beginning to come to terms with it and we do a shark hunt in the room nightly...he even had to sleep with his shark shirt last night which I think helped.

Beck is soooo close to really walking. He will take a couple steps here and there, stand up in the middle of the floor unassisted, and drink and eat just standing there. He is so close that I would see it happening before he turns one on the 30th.

We are happy to be home and getting somewhat back into our daily routine. We got a snow storm the last two days so there hasn't been much leaving of the house. Andrew is only allowed to play 45 minutes of Mario Kart daily. I will say he doesn't quite understand just yet but the fits are getting better everyday.

Peter has begun studying for his PE exam that he takes at the end of April. It is a big deal and I am trying to be a supportive wife and allow him to get all the studying he needs. 2 guys from his work just took it and didn't pass so I am trying to allow him get all he wants done. He starts up a review course down at BSU at the end of the month which will be every Tuesday night until the test date. Please pray for him as he studies that he will know everything or know where everything is in the books he gets to take in with him so that he may pass. If he passes, it is huge for him and he would then be a Licensed Engineer which could get him a lot more opportunities job wise.

Volleyball should have started up again last night but practices were cancelled due to the snow and ice. We have a meeting about this Grassroots League that we are putting on(I am co-administrator) tonight. Lets hope it goes well being that it is the 1st year we are doing this.

Anyways, I should get dinner on the table and get ready for this meeting. We can't wait to see Mom and Dad later this month. Hopefully we will be able to see some of you before the Lake trip next summer. We love you all and miss you terribly. (Andrew is so bored with just Beck around, it is quite comical at times)
