I can't believe January is already almost over. Time seems to just go faster and faster. It has been a great start to the new year. Dad is doing great in Panama City but did have a pretty big suprise last week. He discovered that Cooper (his dog) is pregnant! There was another dog that kept breaking into his fence around thanksgiving (yeah, didn't think he had to worry about keeping dogs out, it was keeping her in that was usually the problem) so he is going to have his hands full pretty soon. He took her to the vet last weekend when he was home and they confirmed 4 but couldn't be sure there wasn't another one.

Speaking of pets, Aly got a new pet this week. We had a fish tank at the shop that wasn't working (it kept growing to much algae, we think it got to much sun light with all these windows) so I took it home and we took Aly to the "fish store" aka Petsmart to pick out some fish. We picked 2 gold fish. Dad named one Flipper and Aly named the other one Green. Lol, we have no idea where it came from, but Green was it! On Wednesday morning one of the was "sleeping" a little longer then he should of been, so we are down to 1, just Green. I think we are going to stick with just 1 fish for a bit and maybe introduce another one later on. She is so funny with it though, last night she walked up to the bowl and said "alright Green, i'm going to bed, but I'll come back, Goodnight" and blew him a kiss, so precious!!!

We are still doing Gymnastics in Dacula, and she seems to really be enjoying it. We have been going to the Monday night class lately and I think we are going to switch to that one b/c we really like Mrs. Kellie. She is getting better about trying new things and being a little more adventurous instead of scared so that makes me happy.

The Manderscheid group is preparing for their trip to the Dominican at the beginning of March. We have all been very overwhelmed with the generosity of our family and friends in their support financially. God has really been working hard on my families(both of them), and its so great to see!!!!

Last weekend, we had 3 birthday parties. Sat. was Ethan's and Andrew's 5th birthday and then on Sunday we celebrated Alex's 5th birthday. It was a busy busy weekend but a lot of fun. For Ethan's party we went to his house and the kids played games and ate pizza, cake and ice cream. Then later that day we had Andrew's party at bounce a rama. Its an indoor bounce place. Aly had a blast. She would only play on one of the houses but she had a blast the whole time. Then Sunday we went to Paige's for Alex's party with family!

Well I think that just about catches us up! We hope everyone is doing well and has a wonderful February!!!
