He's Learning

This is all hearsay, I didn't witness the event...

Galen: Raisins please.
Shanna: Eat what you've got. (Shanna looking at a small plate of raisins.)
Galen: Raisins please.
Shanna: Hmmm? What happened to the raisins? (Looking at Galen with two clenched fists.)
Shanna: What's in the right hand?
Galen: Heheheh (Opening right hand, and it's empty.)
Shanna: What's in the left hand?
Galen: Heheheh (Opening left hand, and it's holding a handful of raisins.)

Little man is learning...

We, she started school again

Shanna started another semester today. I know she's making sacrifices - we honor them.

She also got her grades from the last semester - AWESOME!!! GOOD JOB!!!!

The 2006 holiday season has ended with a bang. The culmination? Galen's suddenly developed an affinity for two- and three-word sentences! Toast please, Mommie sit, Natasha kiss, brown milk, and on and on and on...

We enjoyed the holidays, and are relieved the stress has mostly passed us by. The decorations, except for the icicles, are all put away. We kept the purchases to a minimal, affordable level. And Shanna has had time off from school. I even had a chance to go off-roading.

To all our friends and family, thanks for the memories, gifts, and time spent together.
