This last week was busy. Beth had her first orchestra concert. She did a great job! I was actually very impressed with the orchestra and the band that played at the assembly. These are elementary school kids, and the songs weren't particularly complicated, but still they were playing real songs. Beth also turned 9. It makes me feel old to have a 9 year old particularly since I wasn't exactly young when I had her. She had a nice dinner out for her birthday.
Caleb is very enthusiastic about the upcoming holiday season. He is so positive about everything. He managed to somehow put a big crick in his neck on Saturday at Grandma's house. It was bad enough that we went to the emergency room to make sure everything was fine. We don't mess around with neck injuries. His neck is still quite stiff, but he is doing better every day. We were playing games as a family yesterday and he went out of his way to make sure everyone had a chance to win. That is the type of person Caleb is. He is always looking out for others.
Jacob is out of school for Christmas break (yes that means the other two aren't yet) and he is anxiously waiting for Christmas. I'm actually really proud of him, because he hasn't opened any of the presents under the tree. He wants to, because he has asked multiple times, but he hasn't. He learned Jingle Bells for his Christmas program, which we missed due to a doctor's appointment, and he will sing it for you if you ask. Very cute. Good news from the doctor--he grew a lot. They were worried before because his growth wasn't much. But his weight leveled out almost completely. The doctor said she wasn't too worried since he was getting over the flu. I was worried going to the appointment because I knew that his weight gain wouldn't be great--not eating much for two weeks will do that to a guy.
Rob is slowly getting better, and is looking forward to time off to spend with the kids. The plan is for him to take over my duties so I can get a lot of work done over the holidays. It should start tomorrow.
Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas!

Um, I disagree. You were quite young when you had Beth!
(Because if you weren't, then I am quite old, and I refuse to be old just yet.) :D
