Sorry about the funky background. It says the background has changed from brown to white...but clearly it hasn't. Hopefully I'll get help soon or it'll just have to look weird!

Anyway, life is good and crazy. We're still trying to decide what we're doing with our lives concerning school and a career. Ira is interested in so many things that he's just not sure if he wants to stick with the construction path. It's in his blood and he could easily spend the rest of his life in that field, but he's tired of using and abusing his body and getting injured. The career flavor of the week is Air Traffic Control Specialist. Only a couple years of school, mandatory age 55 retirement, and the average salary is $120k/yr. Very high stress though. There's also no schools for it in UT among other downsides. We'll see if this kick-of-the-week lasts any longer than the others.

FYI: Pretty sure the National Guard kick is out of the picture for good now. Yay!

Well, besides the whole family having a nasty cold, we're all doing well. Jo is growing like crazy, and still the most mellow baby I've ever seen. Cole is smarter than ever (about to pass me up I'm afraid), and I've discovered the key to Lillie's happiness--singing and dancing. We may have a little actress on our hands!
