January was a busy month for us.  Ron moved most of his office from the bedroom upstairs to the basement so that Laura could begin transforming the old office into a bedroom fit for a princess.  Bethan has been helping with her new bedroom in addition to improving her reading skills, taking swim lessons, and keeping the tooth fairy busy.  Jeffery keeps busy with school, swim lessons, piano, viola, basketball, and Odyssey of the Mind competition preparations.  Thomas went full steam all month until this past week when he's choosen sleep over eating.
HAPPY

DAY!
