Okay, so we are a little bit late, but better late than never. Jake started up our blog and finally showed me how to add posts, so hopefully we'll remember to post more often.
The kids are now at their new school, Liberty Elementary, and they are loving it! The girls are making new friends and they love their new teachers, although
Christena is having a few problems with
hers. Her teacher's husband had a heart attack over the Christmas break, so she missed the first day back, and then last weekend she fell and broke her ankle so she missed all of last week and they are not sure when she will be back. I don't think 2008 is treating her very well.
Hopefully your 2008 is treating you better! Ours is starting out alright, we are continually looking for a better job for Jake. He has had a couple of possibilities that we are hoping to hear back from. We'll let you all know when something good happens-we are trying to stay optimistic!
I'm going to try to post some pictures from Christmas-I hope I can figure out how to get it to work.
Juliana loves her new Elmo- it's almost as big as she is!
Savannah and Christena modeling their new shirts 
Olyvia was very excited to get her Word Whammer- she loves to learn new letters and sounds. She has even been able to try to sound out words.
The new P.J.'s from grandma and grandpa Smith- Christena was a little grumpy this night.
