As of late:

   Dave has 6 months left in school.  And I am so excited.  I think I am more excited than him - no, I know I am more excited than him!  He still has his 4.0, so unless he totally biffs it this term and next, he'll be graduating Summa Cum Laude!!  Check out that hot stuff.  My Mr. Smarty Pants... wait, my Mr. International Smarty Pants.  Yes!    Post graduation, we'll be staying here in DYT until he finishes his stint in the Palace Acquire program, but then who knows where we'll end up! 

   Jonah started Judo. He's the 4th from the right after the lady with ridic-long hair.  I'll get a  better picture of him in his gi and post it on here. He is very excited!  Even though, he's all excited... the rule is "NO JUDO OFF THE JUDO MAT!"  He's not allowed to show me.  That's probably for the best, since we don't want 5 yr olds practicing judo on the playground. I can just imagine the phone call..."Mrs. Beach... Your son threw another  boy over his shoulder and then on to the ground..."  Ouch.  At any rate, he's loving it.

  My crafting has taken a huge hault.  I haven't done much of anything.  Awful, right???  I know. I need something to make for someone...I need a purpose.  I have tons of things that I want to do... I guess that the time is just not pressing enough for me to do it.  I also suppose, that I am enjoying my little family a little bit more.  We've been trying a bunch of different dinner recipes and a little bit of charitable service here and there, but nothing major.
  I have slowly been working on this, but they'll be cooler because I have huge molds... intended for todler usage.   kind of excited to see it in action.  I don't know about other 2 and 3 yr olds, but when Jonah was that little, he ALWAYS broke the crayons.
  Any other ideas... anyone?  anyone?
