Happy St. Valentine's Day!

We're all doing quite well here. My back is completely recovered! That's a huge relief and is making life so much easier for me. Brendan is doing very well in our home preschool, I'm quite proud to say. He's getting very good at identifying the colors, letters, numbers and shapes he's learned so far. And he loves to point out Jesus in the pictures he colors each week. Luke is a daredevil as always. I think he spends all his naps and nights dreaming up new ways to injure himself. He has cut his two top front teeth! He has the two side top ones coming in, I think maybe later this week - two weeks at most. He also seems to be starting to sleep through the night! A very exciting thing for me.

I've recently come up with substitutes for soy sauce and cheese that are safe for our family to eat! Yay! We can have stir-fry and macaroni and cheese again!

Enjoy Brendan's first post below. I was trying to get him to type the alphabet as far as he knows it (A-E), but he got a bit excited and threw in a bunch of other letters. I don't think any of you mind!
