It's been too busy and too long.

Well, I don't have any pictures to post, but I do have an update of what we've been up to since January.

Karen
I gave up the Sequoia for a 2009 4Runner Sport. I had to downsize in case gas gets all crazy again. I'm getting used to the smaller size and love the fact that I can zip around and get into a parking place in one try, but I do miss the extra cargo. I'll get over it.

At work - Swamped! We landed a big piece of business and became agency of record for Texas Instruments (North America and Europe), and have been transitioning them over from JWT. It's been lots of long hours, skipped lunches and hard work (hence no Blog postings), but we are just about to get started on new projects. Luckily, our client contacts are very nice and easy to work with. I hope we get in the groove very soon.

On Tuesday, I am having a liver biopsy. My liver counts are high and continue to escalate, so we need to go in and find out what's going on. Chances are I have something called NASH. I have had a lot of unexplained GI issues since having my gall bladder removed 3 years ago and I hope this will give me the answers. I have had every test known to man done in the last 6 months and fortunately, all have been negative; unfortunately, I have no answers to the increased liver counts. Soon, I hope. Very soon.

Greg
Venza, his new pride and joy. He also gave up his Tacoma and moved over to a CUV. We like to call it his soccer mom car, or the mini-wagon, or the station van. It's a nice upgrade from a truck and has lots of gadgets. Right up his alley.

Luckily, he hasn't been busy at work and has been able to take over the mom duties - picking up from school, taking kids to dr. appointments, Hunter to football practice, etc.

Speaking of football practice...Greg coached his first football game and the kids won.

Hunter
Hunter has been working hard to earn an iPod Touch. We opted to not get the DVD systems in our cars this time and have Hunter and Dylan earn themselves a Touch. It's not going as fast has he would like, but he's almost there.

The 4th six weeks just ended and Hunter had a very good report card and a super nice note from his super great teacher. We are very proud.

Saturday was the first football game of the Spring season and Hunter stepped up. He played QB and they played a pretty good game considering they didn't have a practice. They won 13-0. Way to go Hunter.

Dylan
Dylan is still working hard in Kindergarten and making excellent grades. She loves art and art history and is a math whiz. We are very proud of her accomplishments and are encouraging her to take some additional art classes.

She was invited to her 1st sleepover Saturday night and made it until about 10pm. Then I got the call that she wanted to come home and sleep in her own bed. So I went to pick her up and she crawled right into bed and fell asleep. She's just not quite ready yet.

Spring Break is coming up the week of March 16. Greg will be taking off the week to stay home with Hunter and Dylan. I am going to try to take a day or two so we can head to Fossil Rim and maybe to Ft. Worth for some playing around.

That should bring you up to speed. I hope to have some new pictures soon. Especially of our QB.
