Christmas


Merry Christmas!

What a year we've had! Earlier this year we had Brylee Leona Evans, 4/5/09. We moved from a cabin on the outskirts of Napa Valley, to the Gator Nation - Gainesville, FL. Jeanann is working at the UF Vet ICU, and I was accepted to the University of Florida this fall.

Brylee is awesome. She can get around already. She's just as calm and happy as Bradyn was, most of the time. Bradyn is a good big brother, and they play together well. She's still a little small to hold his attention for long, but they love each other.

Bradyn turned 2! We took him to Sea World, and bought him a Shamu stuffed animal which he loves to sleep on like a pillow. He's pretty cute. He's bright, and communicates well. He's recently been developing his imagination, and has fun playing with his toys.

We're both lucky they're good sleepers. We had them in daycare for awhile, but pulled them out recently to get ready for the new year. This next year Jeanann will be working on a few final requirements for cosideration for Vet School admission at UF next fall. UF may give her a chance if she can complete these 16 units by the end of next semester. Next semester we'll both be full time students, taking turn watching the kids. As crazy as it sounds, we think we might get a little more family time together than we've had the last few months. Jeanann's excited about getting back in school to work towards her goal. This last job has helped her realize that she needs to be a vet, and not a vet thech; the last little push she needed.

UF is going well for me. I'm studying Resource Economics, and set up on a path to get my Masters. The first semester is over, and so far I have a 4.0. Either the education system in this country is failing, or maybe I've turned into a decent student. I should be done with my B.S. in 2011, and if I'm able to continue the Masters will be done in 2012.
(the letter's we've sent say I'll be done with my B.S. in 2012, and Masters in 2013. In case anyone catches that, here's the correction.)

We've met some good people here in Florida. We're keeping ourselves busy as usual. We've had a few challenges this year, and expect more to come, but we're all loking forward to it.
