It has been a long time, so I thought I should catch up!
DAYTON is in first grade now, and he loves going to recess. He is doing excellent academically, and he is especially good at reading. His favorite foods are chicken and macaroni & cheese. His favorite drink is chocolate milk.
Dayton loves to play on his fort in the back yard and on his trampoline. He has not learned how to ride his bike without training wheels yet. He practices on his scooter sometimes. He enjoys video games (especially "Minecraft") right now, and his favorite television shows are "How To Train Your Dragon" and "Slugterra".
Dayton loves to collect things. He has a rock collection, a toy dragon collection, a skylander toy collection, an art supply collection, a stuffed animal collection, and several more. He likes to keep things together in groups.
He is a great artist, and it is amazing to see him build all kinds of three-dimensional objects and characters out of a flat piece of paper. I can't even fathom how he envisions these creations before he builds them, but give him a piece of paper, some scissors, and some glue, and he will make something awesome! Maybe he will grow up to be an engineer or an architect?
MATT is still working as an apprentice electrician and is almost finished with his second year of school. Two more years until he earns his Journeyman's license! He likes his work and works hard every day to take care of us.
Matt is excited to compete in his first bodybuilding show this spring. He has been a regular gym-goer and weight-lifter for many years, so he is looking forward to showing off his hard work at the physique competition. He has set some good goals for his diet and exercise plan to take his fitness routine to the next level.
NATALIE is excited for the spring too, because it will be my third "Kitten Season" with the animal rescue that I volunteer for. We foster homeless cats year-round, but the spring is always a busy and crazy time of year for the people who help animals; there are so many new litters of kittens and puppies being born all at once!
I am also working in an office as a personal assistant during the day while Dayton is in school, so with my normal wife-and-mom duties, I am plenty busy!
Well, that's about all that's fit to print for now. Thanks for reading!
