Happy Easter Everyone!!!!
I hope you enjoy receiving updates from us as much as we enjoy hearing from you. We're even sending pictures in an attachment this time. Yipeee!
Well Spring is definitely in the air in Bloomington and it's all around us. I forget how glorious Spring is until the flowers start to bloom again. Sometimes the beauty is almost overwhelming. It's a reminder to me of the joyous resurrection of our Savior and his promises to us.
Well Nathan, Wesley and Camilla are definitely ready for Easter and to start spending more time outside with the Spring like weather. (So am I.)
So here's what's new with all of us:
Camilla is almost a terrific two. She has sort-of learned how to whistle and her vocabulary continues to increase. She loves Nursery now and enjoys playing with all of her toys as well as Nathan's toys and Wesley's toys (much to their dismay). She enjoys mimicking mommy, singing, giggling and is attached to her blanket. She still looks like Boo from Monsters, Inc.
Nathan is 8 1/2. He loves cub scouts, basketball, soccer, legos, reading, the computer, and playing with friends. He does very well in school-especially spelling. His art skills have increased dramatically, but he struggles in math. He's an all-around great kid and tries hard to always do his best and to always choose the right.
Wesley will be six in June. His 6th birthday will be spent in Disneyworld. He will be starting kindergarten this Fall. He is learning how to read, how to tie his shoes, and will hopefully learn how to swim this Summer. Wesley is always difficult to describe because he is so unpredictable. He loves to quote movie lines at odd moments and go into character or play dead when he's been listening to someone too long. His preschool teachers can't figure him out-but neither can I.
Tom's daily routine doesn't change much, which is good I guess, since he doesn't like change. He continues developing web sites for the local newspaper full time and gigs and teaches in his Àspare time”. Tom is still the Wolf Den Leader and picks up any of my slack from Primary. Tom is awesome at helping me at home with housework, dinner, etc. I am so lucky!!!
I love change so I have all kinds of new plans this Fall. First, I'm going back to school to get a Bachelor in Nursing Degree. I would then like to continue on and do a master's in counseling. Why not? As long as school doesn't interfere with me spending quality time with my kids I think it's a great plan! I would still like to run a marathon in October. And I'm still the Primary President, but that may come to a halt this May when our ward gets divided. I think that's a good place to stop.
I hope you all are doing well. Please keep in touch and have a terrific Easter!!!!
Much Love, Tom, Michelle, Nathan, Wesley, and Camilla
