Happy New Year! \u00a0We can\u2019t believe that it\u2019s January again\u2026the years are really clicking by! \u00a0Our family had a wonderful Christmas break and enjoyed every second together visiting with family and friends\u2026and especially some fun memories with just the four of us as we kicked off 2015.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We celebrated our last Christmas on January 3 with Clint\u2019s dad Marty. \u00a0We had a great time catching up with him and it was a great way to wrap up all of our Christmas festivities. \u00a0Over the first few weekends of January, we had a few Saturday afternoon varsity girls basketball games at school and Emma was my sidekick for those. \u00a0She even sang the National Anthem for one of them. \u00a0I was kind of glad to hear her say that she got a little nervous! \u00a0What a treat it is to see our girl stepping up to do things outside of her comfort zone!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Emma and Eli continue to have a blast playing together. The cold days of January provided\u00a0lots of evenings at home to just play inside. \u00a0Eli got a basketball goal for Christmas and the four of us have already logged lots of hours \u201cshooting hoops\u201d in Eli\u2019s room together. \u00a0In fact, Emma has been asking me to take her to school early so she has time to go to the gym to \u201cget in\u00a0her shoots\u201d. \u00a0I love where all of this might be heading! \u00a0Emma is still very interested in reading, writing, drawing, and math. \u00a0Our school started a new program called RAZ kids that allows the kids to log in on a computer or iPad to read books and take comprehension quizzes. \u00a0Emma tries to knock out 7 or 8 books a night to advance to the next level. \u00a0I have always loved reading and am so glad that it looks like Emma does too! \u00a0On the other hand, Clint\u00a0has lots of other fun interests! \u00a0He\u2019s pretty committed to his one book a year strategy!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the MLK Holiday, Emma and I spent the morning together at Build a Bear and visiting some of her other favorite stores before we went out to lunch together and then spent the afternoon at school announcing basketball games. January provided lots of\u00a0good opportunities for long leisurely dinners and lunches with friends and I hope that will define our 2015\u2026relationships and time. \u00a0We also enjoyed lots of NCCS basketball games and hope that our team will go deep into the playoffs this year. \u00a0We love cheering for the Eagles!<\/div>\n
