This week..not much

This week in the James household....yeah, not much new here. Emma has all of her braces on now (see picture), we can't wait to see what her final smile will look like. She's officially registered and enrolled for (gasp) High School next year. I would complain about how quickly she's grown up if it weren't for the fact that she's just continued to become funnier, smarter, and sweeter each and every year.



Liz is busy with basketball, school.....



and friends.... Here she is with one of her favorite friends at the base Easter egg hunt this past weekend.



She's keeping pace with her sister in the growing department. Sports physicals were just done for next year. Em is topping 5'5", and Liz is doing her best to catch up at 4'3". I have the feeling that it won't be too long and I'll be short man out in this household!

Chris is, well, he's just busy as always. Me... studying, having fun going to dinners, studying, wine tastings (yumm), studying, running, studying, and most of all just sitting on our porch with a cup of hot tea watching spring happen in our new yard, and yeah...studying.

The flowers that we planted this past fall are coming up and oh so pretty. A full garden is next on the agenda.



This is the week that we were going to be back in the US visiting, so more than ever you are all on my mind. Wishing you all a happy spring, and lots of love.
