Notice all the alcohol, this is how I cope. Just kidding! This was during Christmas, Jon whipped me up a delightful little concoction. Anyway, Boy it's been a while since I posted the haps here. I have recently gone to work very part time at a church as the church secretary for a whopping 6 hours a week. I love it and love the women that I work with at the church. It's great and the I'm still able to do all the things at home that I always do. Our holidays were great and the girls are loving the snow when we get it. We are missing California (family and friends) and need to go back for a fix but all of us agree that we are VERY happy living here! I feel very blessed. Jon is doing great and is such a trooper with all of us girls especially the prepubescent ones, is that how you spell it? Speaking of which, I don't know if TJ will live to see 18, just kidding! She is something else and Jon and I are now a few brains cells short of the brilliant people we used to be in her eyes. She has all the answers. I teach her religion class and often times after class she tells me, "I can't believe you said or did that!" Oh well, I used to be cool. She has started ski club and does indoor soccer. Jo is still loving gymnastics and all the new skills she learns. She did her first "fly away" last week and LOVED it. A fly away is a flip off the high bar as a dismount and then stick the landing. She came home with her blisters ripped open and bleeding but with a huge smile on her face. She wrote on her dry erase board, "Goals for the week, DO More flyaways!" Tahlia, is such a sweety and is almost always smiling. She is a great little swimmer and is doing great on the team. Jon told me yesterday he went to watch Tahlia in practice and when Tahlia had gotten out of the pool after a 50 yard swim with a flip turn, he had to REALLY look to see if that was his daughter. He had watched her swim without realizing it was her and had been so impressed with her swimming but he hadn't realized it was Tahlia until she got out. Funny!
Love you all!
Tash
