I kind of forgot that this was here! My sister just commented on it, so I thought I would do a bit of an update on our lives over the last four months.

Piper has adjusted SO well to our family, and my knocking on wood helped. ;) She is still a very placid baby, and such a joy to have in our home. She adores all of the siblings, and especially her dad. It's interesting for me to not be the apple of my baby's eye, but I absolutely love watching the two of them together. If she can see him, she immediately lights up, and starts worming her way to get to him.

Jason is still doing really well in school. Chris still drives him to karate every week. There are a couple of distracting boys in his class, which make it hard for him not to fool around, as well. We've finally convinced him to stand next to the girls, and that their cooties won't reach him. :) Last week Chris said he was a lot more focused, and did better.

Mary still enjoys ballet, but I can't say that it's a passion for her. She was terrified at the mini-recital at Christmas, when they had to perform in front of the parents. And she hates that all they do is "skip" every week. I think she thought that she'd be Genevieve from the 12 Dancing Princesses movie after a few weeks. We'll see if I can convince her to go back next year, but it looks like it will have been a one-year try-out.

Jonah is still such a cutie. He's learning his colours, and learning how to count, and say his abc's. It's all adorable. His favourite colour is "ojur" (orange), and loves pointing out orange things all the time. One day before Christmas he was looking at a book, and I asked him what colour one of the pictures was in the book, he exclaimed "Apple!" Apparently, to him all colours should be named after the fruit, for which they are best known!

It's been a bit of a struggle for me since Christmas. Everyone has been sick since then, and we've all been tired and cranky. I'm hoping with the sunshine, and everyone healthy that we'll all be on the up swing now.
