Update from Melanie!

We had a good Christmas, spent it at home. Chris's family was going to come, but at the last minute were unable to. It was nice to have a Christmas alone. It was fun to have a day to just spend with the kids and play with their new things. Kept them entertained for a while. Chris's contract with Walgreens is officially up. One thing we can celebrate. The problem is that no one in town is hiring at the moment. So we are stuck. He has received 2 job offers elsewhere and we are trying to decide where to go. The housing market is down, so we don't know how we will manage to sell our house. Josh is loving first grade. He is doing really well in reading and math. His teacher wants to start him on multiplication when he goes back from Christmas break. Kailyn will be 3 next month. She loves dancing. Thinking of putting her in some dance classes this coming year. She loves playing dress up. Thanks to the after Halloween clearance, she has a few disney princess dresses to wear. Which she loves to wear. I have just been staying home with the kids. I am working on couponing. It's fun to see where you can save money.
