Hi there!

What a busy 2 weeks it has been around here.  We went to my parents house for New Years.  The girls went to a Youth New Years Eve dance and had a blast---the rest of us went to bed early.  Dad took ET and CD off to do "men things"--not sure what that was, but they were definetly bonding .  David took JET to the Sacramento Zoo and had a great time with his brother and sister and all the kids ---so all the cousins minus ET were there. 

Here is the bunch:

We also got to visit my Aunt and a few cousins to catch up on what that side of the family is up to.  So our 3 day trip was a whirlwind of visiting family and friends and then running back home.  We have taken down the Christmas tree and unwrapoped all the gifts.  CD and I have reorganized his closet to accomodate his things and he also got new laundry hampers toHOLD HIS CLOTHES in, as well as JET getting a fluffy pink one.  B and Amee have redone their room (taking apart the bunk beds) to make two beds.  They ended up taking out a desk and sewing machine--now in the garage to make room for it all.  

We are back to school this week and JET has been doing well with it.  She really missed not doing school for 3-4 weeks. I will post later what we have been up to with school.
