It's been a little while since the last update, so let's see what there is to tell...

Patrick was reevaluated in speech. He has improved a lot, and almost everyone that knows him can tell a considerable difference. He still has a moderate deficiency, but now it is almost in the mild category. He loves to go, and he loves his teacher, so I think that helps a lot. Patrick also now knows all of his letters. This may not seem like a huge thing to most people, but to his parents, we're really proud and excited about it. He will start preschool next fall, and he'll be proud to show off his knowledge. This summer, Patrick will be taking golf lessons at Ironwood golf course. Hilarious that they offer lessons for 3-year-olds. He will also be doing a soccer & tee-ball class, plus we signed him up for running on Friday nights with other kids his age. He'll be a busy boy!

Jonah isn't walking yet, but he's not far from it. He loves to stand and cruise along the furniture. His favorite activity is finding mommy, then crawling up her leg to stand next to her. Our joke is that Mommy will be his prom date, because he just won't let go of her hand.

Keri & Michael are busy planning their trip to Mexico, and complaining about how they need to get in shape and lose a few more pounds. Well, if only we had a smidgen of self-control, then this really wouldn't be a problem. Michael went to the Cubs game this past Saturday with his mom, dad and sister. They were cold, but had fun watching the Cubs win. Keri had a nice Mother's Day; how could she not have a great Mother's Day when she has the best kids in the world. :-)

Love to you all.
