January through February

Well, January 2011 has come and gone.  During the month of January we celebrated Seth and Austin's birthdays.  We purchased a new/used car, we maintained are sanity while having 4 or 5 snow days.  I think we have had snow on the ground since Dec. 1.  It is pretty cool (pun intended).  Dad (Jack) is building a desk in our bedroom so he can more effectively work from home.  Mom (Jayne) is still trying to figure out the purpose of life.  Scott and Roberta are working away at graduating and keeping Logan alive.  Jeni and Ryan are waiting the birth of Claire, due March 2.  Seth continues to do well in New Zealand, (at least as far as we can tell).  Katrina is doing well enough in school and had an enlightening experience making cupcakes.  Nick is still home, home-bound schooled and home due to an unfortunate expression of frustration.  Austin is learning that having a cell phone is not an unconditional thing, that it is a privledge not a right.  Levi is holding his own as long as the cat dogs are all safe.  Anna is doing well in school even though she hates it.  All in all life is good we are looking forward to a fun Valentines day........and a new baby too.
