Hey everyone!

Well my new years resolution was to get more consistent with the blogging and keeping in touch with everyone. So far I have failed miserably. Better late than never I say. So much has happened since last I typed, Jon and Kathleen came and visited, which was awesome but it feels like it was ages ago already. We have gone on a couple of trips. One to lake Tahoe,and the other, home for Christmas. Jason has started a new Job in the city that he really likes, and Julien has started three day preschool to get him ready for kindergarten in the fall "SIGH". In between these things we have taken turns being sick. Julien just got over pink eye, and I still have some mutant form of a sinus infection that has plagued me since before Christmas. Jason had fought off our germs long and hard but finally succumbed last week with a cough and sore throat.














Our trip home was a success for the most part. Julien had a blast and got soo many toys for Christmas. He is one by one taking them to show and tell and retelling his trip home story. The only part that really sucked was that we didn't get to see and spend time with everyone we wanted to. It being the holidays made everything a bit more rushed and hectic, and it just didn't seem like we had enough time to do everything we wanted to do.

Jules is in a swimming class. The only problem is that he only wants to swim with the lady instructors, this does not bode well for Eric his actual teacher. Eric is about 15 and darts panicked glances at J and I as Jules refuses to set foot in the water until Talia, Jules's fave lady comes by. It's a process.

Jason's new job is going really well. He has to commute into the city a few times a week which sucks sometimes but he get to work from home a couple days a week too, which is nice. He gets to get his hands into code again, which makes him smile, so I'm happy.

I have been sick steadily since before Christmas and of no real use to anyone, but I have started indoor rock climbing with my friend Dorothy. I am terrified of heights, so the first 3story climb and subsequent repell was nothing short of terrifying. But also soo much fun. We'll see, I'm thinking Everest in the spring.

I hope everyone is well, even though we just saw alot of you, we are all homesick already. It is my February 4th resolution , I will keep in better touch.
