We’re looking forward to a fun day today. Ms Lyn (my office manager and the kids’ surrogate grandma) is coming up for a visit. She is bringing with her one of her daughters, Kathy… and her other daughter’s 2 kids, Joey and Jacqueline. Joey and Jaq are twins, 7 years old. My kids LOVE Joey and Jaq, and haven’t seen them since we moved to Barstow in September.

We are going to meet them at IHOP for lunch, then take everyone over to Calico Ghost Town for a tour. After that we have rented a couple of movies so we’ll grill out tonight and watch some tv, maybe play the Wii. They will go home tomorrow. My kids have no idea they are coming, so this will be a great surprise for them!

On a side note, Damian received 3 awards at his school’s award assembly yesterday. “Most Improved Reader”, “Perfect Attendance”, and a “Good Homework Award”. We are very proud of his accomplishments so far this year. 1st grade has been challenging for him, but he is making alot of progress.

Kadence came home with an ouchie report this week, apparently she slipped on some soap in the floor and hit the back of her head. She is fine, she’s a tough little cookie.

Bianca and Addison went in for immunizations yesterday (and their 2nd dose of H1n1). Bianca is 3′ 1″ tall and weighs 29 pounds, and Addison was 2′ 9″ weighing 27 1/2 pounds.

Rob takes his motorcycle course next week, to officially get his motorcycle license. He is very excited about that. He’ll be able to drive on freeways and at night, which he cannot do right now with just his permit. He is really loving his motorcycle. He is also wrapping up that investigation that he’s been working on, which will be nice.

That’s it for our life right now – we’re just keeping busy and looking forward to the weather warming up. Leave us a comment and let us know how things are in your world.
