Family Update - February 1st

Tax season is here and Cat is swamped already. Fit in a disco run by the Sisters of the Bad Habits at church last week and preparing for the variety show coming up. Running kids around, going to games, etc etc.

Rich is busy at Cardinal Gibbons. They are lucky to have him there. He started a School Law class at Hood College, right across the street. He is coaching Ian's basketball team and Michael's indoor lacrosse team this winter. Big guy turned 49 on the 27th!

Michael's got travel basketball (Catoctin Grade 7 team) and U-13 indoor lacrosse. Happy to be with his ipod or TV with a night off. Ian has basketball through Frederick City Rec league and also U-11 indoor lacrosse. He is the DS man. This weekend, he and Dad are going on a winter camping trip for Cubs. In the meantime, they are squeezing piano in to keep Mrs. Nic happy!

Grace is going through another development phase. Great to see. Accomplishments - more two and three word sentences, jumping (where she actually leaves the ground several times in a row!) and plain ole' 3-year misbehavior :) . Mom takes her still to speech on Monday and Friday and she loves her pre-K. She is eligible for extended school year services and we hope we can get some of that before we head to Nova Scotia this summer.
