The girls!!!

Hello all!!!! We have had a very uneventful New Year (so far)! Things have been GREAT! We went down to UCLA on January 13th and she was given the "go ahead" to start school. She was so excited and was so anxious....it was all she talked about on the way down there. So, needless to say Thursday was Ryan's official FIRST day of preschool. She was ready to say goodbye to us while we were still in the office. She had no problems the whole 3 hours of class, and she fit right in. She had her friend Payton to help her out. Payton and Ryan have known each other for a couple of years now. Max, Payton's big brother, and Logan went to preschool together, then Kindergarten, now first grade. So, we have become good friends with their family along the way.

As you can probably tell from the pictures...Ryan's hair is starting to grow back!!!! Thankfully hers is growing in laying flat, opposed to mine...STRAIGHT OUT! I can not tell yet if the color is really any different, it may be a little darker. I can not wait to see if it is curly/frizzy like her Dads and her brothers. The doctors say she may loose it again if she gets real sick for some reason, but I have faith that this will be it, and it will just keep on growing.

My poor boy!

You can barely see the bruise on his forehead,
and that was where it actually hit.

We did have our first trampoline incident...Adam did a header out of the trampoline. He was climbing out of the zipper and the other kids were still jumping and he fell forehead first right onto the concrete. We ended up in the ER having a head CT done. Thankfully everything turned out to just be soft tissue swelling. He had a horrible black eye for about two weeks. Crazy that he hit his forehead yet all the blood settled in his eye socket.

The girls baking brownies...yummy!!

Kyle with his Oral Language team...Great job guys...and girls=)!

Everyone else in the family has been doing great. Kyle and Logan both got straight "A's"!!! Kyle is doing Oral language again this year and got 1st place in Regional and will be advancing! I feel so lucky that he is the example there is for the younger ones. He is such a great kid and I feel truly blessed. I feel blessed to have all my kids. I, daily, think to myself that I am the luckiest woman in the world!!!
