A series of things.

We had our first christmas in the house. Karen and Tamara came down and stayed a few days. T is still here for a few more events. Then life will start moving back to normal. 

Dad continues to improve. Seems his meds were a bit off but seem to be under control more. He's also getting better about not over-extending himself and keeping the strain on his heart to a minimum. For a guy like him, that's prolly the hardest part of the whole mess. 

I raked the lawn...it was horrid. I am so looking forward to getting those trees out of the backyard. I'm really glad we got rid of the one hanging over the house. I'm not sure it would have stayed up through the ice storm we had last week. It was a half inch of ice on...everything really. 

No photos right now, but the kitchen is coming along. Mo chose a light switch plate that required me to change the wiring on *all* the switches in the kitchen. Not my favorite part of the ordeal, but it's done and they look good. The stone backsplash is coming along too. We're nearly done!

In Jo news, he is now a crazy 2-year-old. He started getting speech therapy a few months back. Not sure if I mentioned that. Curiously, his speech path is one my old professor's wife. That's neat and his speech is getting better. More words and phrases all the time. Still hard to understand and likes to grunt or make noises rather than talk, but he's getting there. 

We also changed daycare. We LOVED the daycare at Integris, but we needed to disconnect Mo's job from our childcare. So we put him back into the daycare he was in when he was a tiny baby. He's doing well there and seems to fit in well. 

Finally, I am about to start the last class of my MBA. I'm nervous as hell, but ready to get this wagon rolling and graduate. I'll be with 2 of my long-term project group mates, I couldn't hope for better. I'm not convinced there is better. Not sure what is going to happen once I have the degree. This semester will be full of changes I think.
