HI Everyone!  Quick update, Jak Jak has his 1st cold since moving to AZ.  He just coughing real bad on Friday, so I took him to the dr (mommy panicked, because I was having pneumonia flashbacks!)… but I am glad I did because we got him on nubulizer treatments and also got him on a oral steroid 2x day for 4 days.  So he is doing pretty well, all things considered!  Just a common cold, but it hits him harder because of his asthma.  Other than that he is doing wonderful!  A handful, but great! 

Elli is doing well too!  We went to Mesquite Elementary last week to get her regsitered for Kindergarten!  She is very excited, but I think despite her being in Day care and preschool, I will still be a mess! But it is a good mess.. my little girl is growing up!

Dave is almost 2 weeks quit smoking!!! YAY!!!!! I think he is having an easier time with it too, everyday gets easier!I am doing well.  

I am still loving running!  I ran 6.2 miles yesterday!!!  My legs were wobbly by the time I got home, but it felt good!!  My 1st 10K is next week, and I found a friend to run it with me that runs marathons, so I am excited!   I also became a “member” of my church today… the pastor also asked me to share my “journey of faith” with our church today!  I was very nervous, but everyone thanked me and told me what an interesting story I have.. it was nice to hear that from everyone!

 We have our close friends from MI coming out to see us in a short time (1.5 weeks), we are SOOO excited to see them again!  We plan to take a short trip to Vegas!  We are VERY excited for that!!  Grandma will be watching the kids, so it will be fun for the kids too!

 That is it from us!!  Still loving the weather, though I am a little worried what our summer will be like because it is already in the upper 70s and it is only the end of Jan!!

Love ya!!
