Hello FAMILY …

I seriously love these little informative email blurbs about how everyone is doing.  By the way…sorry Momma Rosi…I reminded Tim to call you back…but Tim is still at the dinner table trying to remember to call you  back!  You might want to ring his phone again.

We are all good here.  Over the weekend, we went to Boston to visit the Museum of Science with our good friends here and their daughter.  It was so much fun!  Elle and Liam got to see how the body works, watch baby chickens hatch from their egg, visit the dinosaur exhibit, and visit the live butterfly exhibit(We thought of Becky when we saw all the butterflies).  We have pictures of beautiful butterflys landing on Elle.  It's good luck you know when the butterfly lands on you...we all got lots of Good Luck that day!!! 

Elle and Liam are the sunshine in our lives.  They are doing so great and Tim and I just love playing with them talking about them all the time.  Elle has recently taken up watercolors and is becoming quite the artist…you all should see her paintings!  She has also started to read a little and is using the computer now all by herself.  She is loving her Montessori School experience and has made so many great friends.  It cracks me up...we will be out doing an activity somewhere in the community and Elle seems to always run into someone she knows.  She is my little social butterfly. 

Liam is our chatterbox and is saying so many new words and forming quite clear sentences now.  His favorite animal and favorite word right now is Hippo.  He cracks us up...if you ask him his name he says "Hippo"...typically any questions you ask him you get "Hippo" in response.  He will even act like a Hippo while taking a bath.  Liam is always lucky to go with Tim to the store because if Tim sees a Hippo stuffed animal it usually comes home with Liam.  LOL!!! 

Tim is doing great…he keeps his Boys Town couples busy with lots of feedback.  His phone never stops ringing.  As for me, I’m busy being mom, activities coordinator, chef, maid, nurse, support via phone and in person…lol.  All is good!  I must say…in the WHOLE time we’ve been out here LIFE has finally stabilized.  THANK GOODNESS!  That storm was quite rough and super long…and we made it through!  WHEW…We are hoping to come out to see everyone this summer…we were assessing the idea today and it looks like I will be needing to talk about an extra 150 hours of talk time between now and then for us to afford to come out or Tim will need to get a promotion fast J.  Hope you all have a great week!  Sending our LOVE and HUGS!!!

Tim, Jill, Elle, Liam, and Brooks
