Five on Friday

1. Emma lost her second tooth finally! : ) At school and she pulled it herself - she was so proud. Kaitlin likes that she gets to play tooth fairy because if we go up the stairs we always hit the creaky spot and she stirs, so Kait can sneak over there and do it without much touble. Thank goodness for big sisters! :)

2. We have to register Joey for Pre-K next week at Maxwell. It's a lottery again this year. It will be really hard to explain to him why he can't go to the same school that Owen and Emma went to if he doesn't get in. February 17th is the big drawing. It's going to be a long day...hopefully he's not one of the last ones drawn like Owen was.

3. Owen is going to a birthday party for Richard tomm. I believe, from what I'm told, that Richard is his best friend and they like to play superheros on the playground. And I also believe that Paige is going to be there...she is Owen's "not my girlfriend" ;-) And she's got really, really long hair. And she likes the monkey bars.

4. Abby alternates between being a girly girl who loves her baby dolls and a lumberjack. Seriously. She does this hunched up walk when she's pretending to be someone else (like if Emma and she are playing dolls)and she looks like a lumberjack. It's pretty amusing to watch..

5. Kaitlin finally has a bike..and she loves it. I've had to push her but she's finally going around the neighborhood and getting some fresh air. :) And she's loving it! She's going skiing with her youth group in a few weeks to Wintergreen and she's busy, busy. I can't believe that in 3 short years she'll be driving a car...or at least legally able to....

Alrighty, that's everyone - Fred's packet is FINALLY being sent to San Antonio so we should hear something soon. Fingers crossed and prayers said that it is a good rating the first time and we don't have to appeal it. I'm finally starting to feel a little bit better after surgery, pulmonary embolism, strep, bronchitis, viral infection and God knows what else (oh, pink eye). My lung function test still isn't completely normal and I'm going to be seeing a geneticist to do some testing for genetic diseases like Marfan's and other connective tissue disorders. Hopefully they'll find something so I can stop feeling crazy! :)

Hugs
Katie
