So I decided to do this to appease Shelly. But I guess it would be a good way to keep our far flung family and friends up to date on our goings-on as well.

A disclaimer: our digital camera is dead (Christmas, hint, hint. . .) so I might be slow on the pics for a while.

Our current news for the week is that Emma has been chosen Student of the Month for her class. We are not sure how this happened since she would not be up for Family Member of the Month with the way she has been acting lately. But she is really excited because it means having her picture on the board in the cafeteria (remember, she is a bit of an exhibitionist) and, of course, cake. We are very proud, but as I said perplexed by the Jekyll/Hyde thing she pulls on the bus ride to and from school.

As for Esther, she's sick again which means she's grumpy and not sleeping well. Which of course means we are--well, you get the idea.
