Dear Braden,

How are things going? Did you have zone conference yet? Anything new?

Ethan got his braces off-finally.  He reminded us for days that it was coming. He has a permanent retainer on both the top and the bottom.  They go behind his teeth so you can't see them and they are only on 4 teeth.  He also has the clear ones like you have that he has to wear at night. But his teeth are now nice and straight!

Hope has lost 3 teeth already. She seems to going to loose them already.  Since Valentines Day was this week, we talked about it in preschool. So, Hope has been making cards for everyone and giving them to the family and friends all week long. 

Parker didn't get a prize in the science fair but he had fun doing it.  I laugh at his teacher. She emailed me concerned that he wasn't getting a lot of his homework turned in-of course it was finished and just in his back pack.  We got his report card and it was A's and B's.

Paige came home for the long weekend (President's Day). We have enjoyed having her around.  She is loving college life and her classes.

Zach registered for his senior year-what!  Surprisingly, he didn't sign up for choir.  He said he couldn't fit it in with all of the college prep classes he wants to take.  He signed up for SI-FI because you had it and said that just watch a lot of movies. He also signed up for debate, that could be interesting for everyone involved.

The company that I purchased my preschool curriculum through, asked me to blog for them once a week and in return, they will send me FREE curriculum every month. I couldn't pass that up. Free is nice.

Grandpa E is in the hospital. He was having a lot off back pain and couldn't sleep. Then he couldn't urinate and had a lot of pain in his bladder. They finally took him to the ER and have been running tests.  He has an abnormality on his spine in his lower back.  They are going to biopsy it on Monday. They had to wait a few days for the blood thinner he has been taking to work it's way out of his system before they can do it. Guess we'll find out sometime during the week what is really going on there.

Keep up the good work and have fun killing your comp off soon.

Love ya, MOM

Happy Valentines Day or as Zach calls it--Happy single's awareness day
