Hi everyone,

So as you've noticed, it's taken me a good month and bit to post new pics. Well we've all been quite busy. To make it easy on your eyes, I'll quickly tell you what we've been up by pointform...Jonathan will like this :-)

Jonathan:

• passed Module 4 of CASB. Yay!!
• catching up on his reading of car magazines (those of you who've been at our place, know how many he has!)
• switched all the faulty lightswitches with new ones, thanks to the help of his dad
• put up all the new bathroom towel rods etc. again thanks to the help of his dad
• puttied all the markings on our hallway walls and placed green tape on places "Joyce needs to paint"
• becoming more and more handy everyday!

Joyce:

• painted two bathrooms
• learning how to knit, already halfway through a sweater (thanks to Heather for the challenge)
• taking the BCIT Critical Care Nurse program
• running at least 2 times a week to be able to run the Sun Run this April
• taking care of Katarina!

Katarina:

• learned how to military crawl in January, now able to crawl like a crab
• able to pull up on the coffee table and stable objects to stand
• falling asleep on her own at night
• has 7 teeth now, working on her eighth. Likes to bite hard!
• isn't liking the word "No" . Does what she pleases, therefore giving Mommy and Daddy a headache

Well there you have it folks, nice and short way to tell you what we've been up to. Below you'll find tons of pics!

Ha ha.. I'm going to fight you with my mighty chopsticks and powerful Japanese kungfu moves!
Now that I'm done fighting you, where are my noodles Mommy?

Christmas in Dallas

So have I gotten your attention with the title? Yes it's almost the end of February, and here I am posting pics from December. Well I finally got a chance to upload pics onto our computer thanks to Jonathan's nagging! Just kidding, it's more thanks to the use of Jonathan's laptop which is new and has no problems. Anyways, I've just posted photos from our Dallas trip. I hope you enjoy them even though they are quite old. I'll be posting more don't worry guys :-)
