Happy New Year! – At least it is here. I know Chinese New Year isn’t for a few more weeks.
We are back in school, the new semester has started for all of us. I am teaching the intro class at LTU (MET 6203). I am taking two classes at Wayne State (only two more after this and I am done with course work and get to start on my dissertation!!) and am back to work at Wayne as a research assistant. So busy as usual :)
KC is doing great!! He is getting good grades and is really loving swimming season. He swims freestyle and backstroke. He has cut 2 seconds of his time in freestyle and about 8 off the backstroke – I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but for swimming it is HUGE!! He also just turned 16 and is seriously looking for a car. We will have to see how that goes. I am trying to tell him that the cost isn’t only the car, it’s also insurance, gas, maintenance, etc. He is starting to get it and has started looking for a job.
Jack is loving daycare and playing with his friends. He is starting to learn to ‘go potty in the potty’ Toilet-training!! Yikes :) His vocabulary is getting larger and larger by the day and he is so fun to play with.
The weather here is cold – today it is 26 F, which is about -4 C. We have been having a little snow (not a lot) and cold rain. We will have cold days for a few more months. Usually December and February are the big snow months, so maybe next month I will be able to send you some snow pictures. We had a little bit of snow (about an inch or two) and Jack was walking around in it and making snow angels. I wish I had my camera – maybe next time.
Talk to you soon,
Stacey
