Let's catch up a little...

Livi turned 5! Yikes. Here is some things about her now that she is a whole hand in age:

• sassy


• far to wise


• loving spelling


• a whiz with school


• quick witted


• has the best memory (unfortunately, sometimes)


• learning to read


• loves to talk on the phone


• loves to play school with her sister, as long as she can be the teacher


• likes to cook


• always seems to have a cough


• wants to start cheerleading or gymnastics


• here's a doozy, she can spell and write her whole name: OLIVIA GRACE PATURALSKI

Alex is doing pretty well herself as she is almost completely potty trained and speaks in full sentences 80% of the time.

Jason is working on a local dairy farm and couldn't be happier! I am still working full time and have finished my first class and am knee deep into my second. It is going very fast. One class every 5 weeks is keeping me on my toes and very organized. This program is great because it is for people who are already in the work force. So, I am getting to relate my studies to current position. Seems like I will be able to make a smooth transition into Hospital Administration!

We went to the waterpark for Livi's 5th birthday...Livi, Jack, Alex, my friend Sarah G and myself. Tons of fun except, Jack got the stomach flu and had to leave early, I got a speeding ticket and shortly after we got home the entire family got the wicked stomach flu. I love you Jack, but sheesh it was a doozy!
