Random Bullets of Update Thought

• My desktop computer is seriously impaired...thus the delay in Emily's birthday post. It's time for a computer check up...or an upgrade.
  
  
• Alex is still singing Christmas carols. I have the cutest video...from two weeks ago...but I CANNOT get it to upload.
  
  
• Todd learned our phone number. I had 12 new voice mail messages today. See the connection?
  
  
• Alex thinks he needs to know our phone number too. He took an old cell phone to bed with him tonight. And then cried for me to "Tell me a tone number!"
  
  
• Emily auditioned for Farmington City's Youth Theatre production of Seussical Jr. and got the part of a "Who". She is beyond thrilled and excited.
  
  
• Natalie is auditioning for the One Voice Children's Choir on Saturday. She is also beyond thrilled and excited...and a bit nervous.
  
  
• Todd asked me this on Sunday: "When I was a baby was I still named Todd?"
  
  
• Emily just finished reading The Candy Shop War. 404 pages! She'll make her AR goal by Friday now. Way to go Em!
  
  
• Natalie is a spelling maniac! She aces her spelling test every week.
  
  
• I told Todd that if he watched too much TV his brain would turn to mush. To which he replied..."Then I won't know my phone number anymore!"
  
  
• Emily is going skiing for the first time on January 26th. Kurt has graciously volunteered to be a chaperone. :o)
  
  
• Natalie was chosen as first grade student of the month at school.
  
  
• Alex has spent the past week or more building and re-building a birthday cake out of 'duplo' blocks for his favorite babysitter, "Emily Pockins". (Not to be confused with Mary Poppins...although she is just as awesome!)
