Matt is still laid off work for the winter, but is probably going to return to work sometime in late February. Whilst off work, he is using this time to work on graphic design projects. He is flying out to California later in January to visit with family and friends before going back to work.
Joanne is still operating a home daycare business, and will be adding two more preschoolers into the mix in the first week of February, bringing her up to full capacity. She really enjoys being at home each day caring for the children who range in age from 6 months to 5 years.
Lauren is in her second semester of fourth grade and she continues to do very well in all areas of her studies. She loves science and has a wide range of interests, such as marine animals, geology, archaeology, and electronics. She also loves reading and was excited to get some more books from the library last night. She read a 500+ page book three times over her winter break, and the books she borrowed from the library are the next two in the series.
Chloe is now attending a local preschool each morning, and she often walks around our house singing the songs she has learned at preschool. She loves to dress up in her tutu and dance around the house. She also loves Hello Kitty and her baby doll named Bella. She can be quite a goofball some times, and she certainly keeps us entertained.
