Howie looks very cute and I'm glad Dad finally has a cuddly dog. Molly is attached to India only...India does read to her dog and bathe her and all that, but I think she also tells Molly we aren't part of their dog pack. So Lucy has settled into her own little lovey and lively personality.

Conferences went much better than I thought since we were coming from a low scoring school to a much higher/better school. They all excelled in both the academic and social aspecs. Tucker is taking on the best student role with his imagination and love for math. His teacher is a great fit. It is the first year he didn't say recess was his favorite subject but reading and math. India won a slogan contest for Meth. "Meth is Death." All the 5th-8th. graders participated. She doesn't know yet, but she'll get a nice Ipod at their next assembly. She also has a new best friend that has horses. They seem to enjoy each other very much and their whole family is really down to earth and fun. India is now into a size 0 juniors. Sheesh!

We're going to Boise since Tim's Stepmom has emphasyma and possibly lung cancer and is homebound without her oxygen. It's not looking good. She has been sickly for some years now and they're taking it day by day.

I still love my work. I seem to be immune to all the fussing and crying and don't mind the constant on your feet of changing clothes, diapers, and bottles. We go for stroller rides and they seem to enjoy the silly songs my mother taught me. Thanks Mom.

Tim and I often have lunch together and besides the usual board meetings, he's home much more than ever. I'll let him tell you about his dieting and exercize/weights progress.

Christian can't wait for B-ball. Lainey, Courtney and Marcus still call him nightly. Pretty neat friendship for their age I think.

Good to here from all you,
Traci
