Alright, it is Groundhog Day today, but the post really doesn't have anything to do with groundhogs. Just an update on us since the last time (which apparently was a long time ago):
Jeff started taking classes at BYU in January and seems to be enjoying it. He finally got another job as well that will work with his school schedule. Both of us have signed up to run the Utah Valley Marathon in June, so we are both busy "training" for that as well. Amanda is taking the family quilting activities seriously and working on a few quilts for the kids right now (pictures to come in the future).
The kids are all growing like crazy little weeds. Ross started kindergarten last fall and has some ups and downs, but is doing well in his class. Claire just earned a candy bar for practicing an exercise 25 times each day on her violin (which she was pretty happy about). Zady and Amelia are both doing "Knowledge Bowl" at their school, so there are constant questions about the geography of the United States going around the house right now (mostly states and capitals). Collin's biggest accomplishment lately is he decided he could use the toilet instead of a diaper -- most of the time.
