Rhett- Is working on finals right now and then only has 1 quarter left. Rhett graduates in June! Wow. I can't believe it's right around the corner. He's interviewing with a company in upstate New York in the beginning of April to be part of their residency program. It's 3 years long and we really want it! We'll keep you all posted on how it goes. Rhett is also enjoying his boxing classes. He goes to a place that's pretty raw to the bones- they don't even have heat in the building but trust me, you don't need it! You work so hard in that place that you really keep yourself warm. He's lost a bunch of weight and I'm so proud of him!
Traci- I'm enjoying staying at home with the kids and trying to keep up after all the messes they make! I got to play racquetball with Rhett last week and had a blast! And the week before that I even went to a boxing class too =). My days are pretty much filled up with taking kids to school, putting kids on the bus, taking them off the bus, picking up from school, going to therapies, martial arts, doctors appointments, dinner, baths, bed. Fun hu?! I'm trying to get my business working a little more for me and really enjoy it. Go check it out! www.babysoelegant.com
Bennett- LOVES martial arts. He recently tested for his gold belt in taekwondo and passed with flying colors! We're so proud of him. He's doing really well in school and really enjoys making experiments when he's not at school. He's quite the scientist (but when you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up he'll tell you he wants to be a chef!!). He really enjoys playing with his sisters and is a really big help to his mommy =). He'll start t-ball again this year and hopefully he'll be on the same team as some of his classmates and friends!
Jordan- Really enjoys going to school which is such a relief! She's shown us that she knows how to spell her name and she knows all the letters in the alphabet! Smarty pants =). She got new AFO's for her feet and won't let us go anywhere without putting on her "shoes". She also got a new wheelchair! Hopefully with some hard work and bribery, we'll get her to start wheeling herself around. I know that as soon as she does this we better all watch out because she's going to take off! I know she'll love the independence! She's figuring out how to move herself around a lot more and has acquired a lot of bumps and bruises in the process. She apparently didn't want to sit on the couch while I was making dinner so she fell on the floor =/. She doesn't sit on the couch much anymore =). Jordan also had an overnight stay at the hospital for cellulitis (infection and inflammation of the connective tissue under the skin) in her foot. She had her own room and was soaking it all in!
She picked out the colors all by herself!
Shelby- Is the cutest little stinker! She turned 1 in the beginning of February and LOVED her cake =)! She took her first steps on Sat. March 13th but is quite timid about it. She has 5 teeth but is still missing 1 of her front teeth. Her grin is soooo cute =). She loves pulling all the dvd cases out of their spot and throwing them on the floor- and when I say throwing I really mean hurling! She also likes to play with anything that Jordan is playing with, which includes pulling apart the castle of blocks Jordan just took an hour to build! Shelby also LOVES Bennett. She calls his name out all the time and cracks up any time she even see's him =). She also is such a mommy and daddy's girl. She loves to give us hugs and likes to pat us on the back when we get her out of her crib. She's also been sleeping really well and goes down for naps and bedtime pretty well without whining much. We LOVE our Shelbers!!
