School Resumed

We're back in school and things are moving smoothly. I am teaching HST 109 - the first half of US history. I've got about 170 students (two classes), and I'm getting sick of all the stupid emails. "Professor Garrett, the bookstore is out of books" No, they are not. "Professor Garrett, what are the assigned readings for tomorrow." Read the Syllabus. "Professor Garrett, will there be a quiz on Wednesday?" Good Grief kiddies! Its like I'm teaching 8th grade again!

Jen is also teaching. She is the director for Womens Chorus, and is leading a community choir (Arizona Deseret Choir), the church choir, and Sunday she was asked to organize a major musical production. She is also wrapping up two courses so she is pretty busy.

Abby is Abby. She laughs a lot and loves to be part of the action. She can play by herself for a few minutes, but then needs to be moved someplace else. She rolls pretty frequently, and is starting to pull up on her hands and knees (but does not yet go anywhere). She's getting over another cold but seems pretty good. She still is tiny--only about 12.5 lbs. She is still off the chart for wieght (below 3%) and height for her age, but she is developmentally fine. She is a happy healthy little girl.

All the family visiting last week is gone now, except Jen's mom. She is helping with Abby and doing little projects and reading. Jen and I have scheduling conflicts so we're glad Karen is here to help.

Emma has always been below 5% for weight! But she's always been perfectly healthy. It's only when they're babies that the doctors want them to be chubby. Then later thay start freaking out about it. :)

After all these years you guys still manage to make me feel tired. ;) Glad to hear you're keeping busy. tiny little girls are fun. Hailey has always been small too. At her 18 month appt she was 19 lbs even. I just shopped for her winter clothes and got her all 12 month sizes- she's nearly 20 months! What can you do. Say hi to Jenn for me- I love reading about you guys!
