December was a good month even though we hit a few rough patches. We joined an awesome church and have made friends with a lot of people so far! We enrolled Austin, Michael & Katelyn in their Faith Formation classes and they LOVE going every Sunday after mass...Michael and Austin even know one or two people which made it even better for them to be more comfortable after joining the class a few months late! We are getting Abbygale baptized (finally) this February! Msgr. Williams is such a joy to listen to during mass - the kids like him! Michael has been doing great since his surgery...hasn't been sick since! We're SO glad. He had missed so much school before that we could have been looking at a big mess for him with summer school but I got it all worked out and we're ok!!! All are doing wonderful in school and we couldn't be more happier with them! Abbygale is such a hoot! She's potty training and has the hang of it - well, 90% of the time but is doing very well! Unfortunately, Mark didn't pass the Real Estate exam and had an opportunity to retake it and did but, still no go. He's retaking the class which starts February 8th. We did find out that lots of people fail it and retake it as many as 4 times before they pass which made Mark feel a little better but he really wanted to pass it the 1st round. So, try - try again!!! GOD is watching out for us!
