The latest... quickie updates!

Katie and a couple of her friends recently took top place in her grade level for group humor at the Oral Language Festival for her school. They went on to the school-wide competition where they did very well, but didn't place. The piece was a very funny poem about a lost teddy bear. She currently has all A's and one B! We are SO proud of her!

Ethan's birthday is Saturday and I'm sad to report that he's actually already conned his Nana and his sister into giving him his gifts early. What a stinker! ;o)

We're looking forward to winter break when Mike will take several days off to loaf around the house with the rest of the family!

And finally... a picture of the newest member of the family:
Burt the Suburban (yes, they named it)
