Twilight
All is well and busy to start the year. Nina got all A's and B's on her 2nd quarter report card. yeah. She is doing very well in school. She also scored 97% on her MAPS test for math (that would be the basic skills test we all took many moons ago). So i couldn't be more prouder of that. I'm guessing she'll be in pre-algebra next year. Basketball season is in full swing now too. Her team is still learning and growing. They have won 1 out of 4 games this year so far. And that is already better than last season. Nina also went to vball camp over Christmas break and she is serving over hand already. Wow, I couldn't do that 'til about 8th grade.
Julia is just perfect. We're waiting for those two top teeth to break thru any day now. She sure is chewing on everything right now too. She is still stationary, content to sit and watch everyone and the pups. No signs of crawling or moving around but I'm sure our days are numbered. She does love to stand and hold our fingers. Just this week she has been holding on to us and taking steps. No balance yet but again, our days are numbered.....
Mark and I went to his holiday party last weekend. I like that they do this in Jan. Gives us something to look forward to. Plus his party is still small enough for an open bar. :) haha
That's about all for now. I'm crazy busy at work waiting on the economic stimulus plan to get passed. Our DOT clients all have big aspirations if this goes and of course it gives us quite a bit of work too.

Happy New Year
Neighbors and friends at the party
On New Year's Day we had brunch at our friends Mike and Margie's new home. We had so much fun spending time with our best friends and their kids on this day. Margie's home is just beautiful. With a little boy on the way, they will have many happy years together in their new house.

Our sad news of the new year is that the Vasko's are moving to Manhattan, KS. Yea, it's not that far away but still makes us sad to see them leave KC. Todd has taken a new job at Ft Riley developing homes for the troops and their families. They are very excited about this new opportunity. We wish them well and remind them that the spare bedroom is always open for them!!
Finally, i finished off the new year by going to see Annie at the Music Hall. Gigi and i have season tickets. Just odd that this show was New Year's Night. It was a very good production.
