Just sent this email update about our family to Oma’s side of the family, so I thought I would post it here too:<\/p>\n
Love you Peanut!!<\/p>\n
Highlights from our little family:
\n* Literally this week, Maya\u2019s reading and writing skills have skyrocketed \u2013 it\u2019s so heart-melting to see how proud she is of herself
\n* Our Dan (11) is skiing today too \u2013 with ski club from school \u2013 and it the perfect day for it here
\n* Jojo starts puppy training tomorrow \u2013 thank goodness, because, though I googled \u201csmall breed dog cold poop,\u201d I found no help about how to get a small breed dog to poop outside when he\u2019s so cold he\u2019s shivering. Do I really have to buy this small critter \u201cboots?\u201d So weird… My Siberian Husky never needed silly coats and boots.
\n* Jim was promoted to associate professor last week or the week before \u2013 way past due \u2013 but we\u2019re grateful the paperwork finally caught up to his achievements \u2013 the title is essential for the grant funding he needs.
\n* Madeline and I are still taking voice lessons together on Tuesday night, and having a ball doing it! We laugh so hard in that hour, and we both have grown as singers. She is such an incredibly thoughtful, insightful, articulate, passionate young person. Seriously, all three kids are growing right before our eyes. I thought it was supposed to be more subtle than it seems to be.
\n* Maya has a 2nd \u201cwiggly tooth\u201d – why does it seem so unnerving to wiggle it?
\n* Got my nails painted yesterday and told the person doing it that she could do whatever she wanted. I now have 8 fingers painted powder blue, and my ring finger on left hand & my thumb on my right hand are a darker, periwinkle blue – she calls the two of them \u201csignature nails.\u201d Hmmm… Okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
