There's not much to report, but it's been awhile since I put pics of the kids. It's been a long winter. It snows, and snows, and snows, and snows. It warms up, then freezes, then snows again. We have a bit of cabin fever, and have passed around a cough for weeks. The kids don't mind much, as they have been off of school a few extra days. I make them practice twice on those days. Their music is coming along great. They both had good report cards. Grace even got an A in PE. If you know Grace, that is a milestone. They have a piano recital in May. Maybe this time, Grace will participate. If not, oh well. She likes to play, and is really good at sightreading, so as long as she enjoys it for herself, that works. We got rid of the dogs, so I don't have to get out in the cold and fool with all of that anymore. It's really nice to be able to just take care of my kids now. We got bunk beds for the boys. It will be delivered on Thursday. Jack is very excited about that. I am too. We're gonna kick Luke out of the bed! Raegan is doing good at work. She found us a great babysitter, so we were able to go out on Valentine's day. We went to a local seafood restaurant that we have wanted to check out for awhile. It was a really nice place. The food was really good. It's not Louisiana, but probably about the best you can get this far north. Me and Luke spend most of our day jamming! Im learning a lot of Black Label Society right now. Zakk Wylde is awesome, and is really good to learn from. Luke really loves music, and he gets a very healthy dose of it daily.
Grace is starting to have hormone stuff. She is starting to show signs of becoming a young lady. I'm still in denial, but Raegan keeps telling me she is old enough. Oh boy.
The kids had fun the first few days of snow. We had at one time, about a foot of it. It stayed for a week or 2. The black ice on the roads surrounded our neighborhood, so we had to stock up on essentials and hunker down for a bit. All of the roads around us are hills and curves. You can get out, but getting back home is near impossible in those conditions. I had to park my truck at a school down the road and walk home in 5degree weather at one point. There were cars in ditches, in the woods, in peoples yards, and stuck in the road, everywhere.
Luke is growing up fast. He helps with EVERYTHING. Sometimes it's a pain, because he knows what should be done, and doesn't let me put anything off. He keeps me busy. He is very good at cleaning up after himself, and is very good at communicating with his pointing and grunting. He has several baby molars coming in right now. They all are coming in at the same time, so it's kind of rough on him, but he will be able to chew his food better very soon.
While Luke is getting brand new teeth, his big brother is losing all of his. He is missing his 2 front, and the little one you see there on the bottom right front. You thought he had a lisp before!
Grace has been sleeping in Jack's room for the past couple of nights. She is as excited about the new bed as he is. Jack has to keep his door closed, and he always forgets. Luke was up on the top yesterday throwing things off. He was very excited. His mommy was very mad.
Jack showed all the kids what the little squiggly thing is for.

His curls are coming back
He won't let anyone feed him anymore.
