here we are!

i don't think we have a family picture! so this is what we come up with instead

... and the boys. gosh, seeing them side by side really shows off their different features. i think the eyes say it, Jonah's are sweet and demure and Cooper's are wide and ready! yup.. that sums it up

and Mikey, the cat. he's not as mean as he looks- he's a lover not a fighter! his girl Lucy didn't make the blogger cut this time but you'll meet her later.

i don't have much update on the kiddos, except that cooper will be switching daycare soon. his current sitter, Roxanne is due for a c-section at the end of Feb. and along with that, i need someone closer to our side of town, etc. i took his moment of mild rage, as we left the interview and walk-through of Julie's daycare, as a sign that he's going to like it!

and my school update is that i'm bailing on my math class. not completely, but kinda. since my last passing grade in math was 13yrs ago and my attempts between then and now have been fruitless, i've decided to re-take the class i barely passed so that i can refresh myself and be better prepared to move forward. fortunately, the class is with the same teacher, same book, same time- but different day. so the last minute switcharoo was fairly easy. i swear i'm reliving the recurring bad dream i've had since high school math though! i'm haunted by the fact that i blew it off towards the end of my senior year and never 'finished' the class. so it's time to suck it up and get it done! argh.
