Katrina colored this picture of a dinosaur last night that I though was particularly good for her. She made up the red/blue pattern, did a pretty good job of staying in the lines and even signed it for me. I just had to post the picture.

Alyssa started rolling over last night. She’s been trying all week but didn’t realize she needs to tuck her arm in first. She finally figured it out last night and rolled from back to front four times. She hasn’t rolled from front to back yet, but it probably won’t be long. She doesn’t like “tummy time” so she’s motivated.

Jeanette IMed me at work today to let me know I had a package sitting on the porch. I told her to open it and inside was three copies of a Japanese (could be Chinese, one of those “ese”es) version of the ADO.NET 2.0 book I wrote part of. It’s kind of funny because most of the text is in Japanese, but every 10th word or so is in English and all the code is in English. It must be really hard being a programmer in a country where they don’t speak English.

Hopefully I won’t start getting hundreds of 12 cent royalty checks I have to sign. Is there anything Seinfeld didn’t cover?

Remember that episode of Seinfeld where George was dating the female version of Jerry? While working on the Dirt Motorsports website last week I discovered the female version of myself. http://www.worldofoutlaws.com/sprint/drivers/Becca%20Anderson.aspx Some coworkers of mine pointed her out to me and I was all prepared to argue she looked nothing like me until I saw the picture. That’s just creepy.

Last year brought a lot of blessings our way & we are very grateful & happy.  Jeremy was hired on as a full-time employee at his company and our personal business started taking off pretty well, too!  Jeanette joined a local show chorus, to promote her gift of song & to be able to enjoy another creative outlet.  Katrina turned 4 & started preschool.  Later, she became a big sister when Alyssa was born.  There were many other Birthdays & Holidays that we celebrated, throughout the year & we enjoyed the company of our family & friends at each one.

And, 2007 seems like it’s going to be another promising year of happiness & prosperity in our lives.  We started off the year by attending a party at our church, which was the first time Katrina stayed up late enough to ring in the New Year!  Alyssa, on the other hand, was in & out of sleep the entire time, just like she was for her first Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas…    It was wonderful, though!

We are all happy & excited to begin sharing again & hope that this year will be one where we will have more opportunities to keep this site, as well as our personal blogs updated more frequently…  We have plenty of pictures to add to our photo album from last year, as well, so please bear with us & wish us luck in getting everything we’d like to added here — we love being able to keep all of our friends & relatives informed on what our lil’ family is up to, these days & appreciate all of your love, patience & kindness.  We wish you all the best for the upcoming year!  As always, thanks for checking in & God bless!
