Updates!

David, Mark Jr., Sean, Colin and I finished our first semester of school and we all got GREAT grades! Mark is pretty proud of the whole fam damily.

We took the boys on a weekend getaway to Chesapeake for our family honeymoon! We had a great time playing in the indoor pool and lounging in the hot tub.

The three boys all had major projects during the fall. Colin made a solar system model, Sean recreated a miniature James Town and David had to do a project on an element 

We also took a trip to Maryland to see Mike Barbour and Mark Jr. We had a great time eating Mike's scalded oysters. We also managed a day trip into D.C. and visited the National Zoo!

David spent the first half of the Christmas holiday with Bill (his father) and the second half, he and Mark Jr. were with us. On Christmas day we had dinner in Williamsburg with the twins grandparents, Dick and Mary Jane. It was GREAT! 

The new year has brought SNOW with her! The kids only got to go to school one day before they managed 2 full snow days. We've had a ball playing with the kids in the white fluff and warming up by the fire with our cocoa and layers of socks. 

Holly and Willi are still doing great and to my amazement the beta fish, Bacardi and Coke, are also doing well! Charlotte molted and grew much bigger. She's been a pretty cool pet to have even though she's a tarantula!

Happy New Year!
