We’re in full contest swing mode around here, but things are progressing nicely (knock on wood).  All of my volunteers except one cancelled on me for this past weekend, so we didn’t get as much done as I had hoped–but I’m excited because I have 3 confirmed volunteers coming on Sunday which will be plenty to get everything finished up.  It will feel so good to get everything in place.  It’s amazing how even just one extra person makes such a difference.

As is the norm, I don’t really have any gaps in my teaching schedule right now to get stuff done.  Somehow that always happens.  But it’s all good.  Our spring break is really late this year (into the first week of April) so I’m hopeful that by then it will actually feel like Spring.  I’ve finally resigned myself to accepting that it will not be warm for contest weekend.  But my hope is just that all the roads will be cleared and not icy.  I can handle gloomy days and piles of snow as long as the roads are clear and dry.

Chloe and Josiah are doing well lately.  A little bit of cabin fever, but still ok.  Josiah amuses me daily with his little personality emerging more and more.  It’s crazy for me to think that just about this time was how old Chloe was when we had him.

And speaking of babies….!!!  (no not me, I could hear you all thinking it…) My brother, Luke and his wife are having their little baby boy tomorrow!  Well, technically I suppose it’s really all of Krista doing the work… haha!  But Luke will be right there beside her.  I’m so excited!  They are having a boy so they’ll have one of each now!  Yippie!    I can’t wait to see pictures and hear all about him…
