It has been so long since I’ve posted that Caroline is now a very strong walker, running constantly all over the place. She keeps me on my toes! She also speaks about 30 words and knows the ASL for a number of others. Every day I see her learning more.

Paul is almost 6. We’re doing first grade work and he still loves to learn. Since I last posted, we’ve been on two family drives to Utah and back to spend time with cousins and grandparents.
