On January 25

Nothing special to report today, and honestly, I'm a bit discouraged by your lack of comments. (smiling here)

School is back in full swing for my husband and my children. Thankfully, this last semester of law school has less class work (albeit more Law Review). The boys and I are starting cursive this week, as well as moving on to some new books and subject material in math and reading. I love this!!

I have started going to the YMCA three mornings a week (finally worked out the scholarship details) and LOVE it. Especially love the yoga; I've missed that!

Tuesday nights I have joined up with a huge (over 300 women!) Beth Moore Bible study of Esther. It seems Providential as my last Tim Keller study left off in Esther and my M'Cheney reading had me in Esther as well. I LOVE digging into the Word and I find Beth's excitement contagious.

My sister also loaned me back my Nourishing Traditions book (Sally Fallon) and I am relishing (ha ha) the recipes and info. It's so satisfying to me to read and learn and I find myself so hungry to know more. Lately I've been incorporating ideas from this book, Prescription for Natural Healing, and ideas on herbs and essential oils. It's an education that I find fascinating. . . because it brings all the glory back to God.

The kids are all healthy and doing great. Liv is saying funny things like "inside it out" to turn her shirt right side out. Tate is getting into everything and keeping me busy cleaning up after him. Rhyle is concerned that he learn "a classical instrument" (I think he means violin) and he wants so much to read big books like Owen. O is still flying through books like crazy and had some special time with Dad today picking out two new books at the store. (Thanks to another generous gift card- THANK YOU!!)

We're also playing around with Skype, which has been really fun. Do ya'll know what Skype is?

Calli--- a couple things...
a) How did the talk go? I finally found the paper in a messy pile on my desk. (So, I think I should have come because pretty much the only thing I did get clean was my desk. And a lot of dishes---but those never go away.)
b) Skype is awesome. I use Skype all the time and just asked for your contact details (through Skype).

Hey cuz. I gave B the family skype info. The others dont leave it on like I do. But yes its a wonderful invention. Especially with family or friends overseas. We used to call sis in africa for less than .10 a minute.

Don't think that we aren't reading just because we aren't commenting. :) I love to hear your updates, and look forward to getting a longer update in March!
