That basically says it all in a nutshell. Life has been pretty nonstop around here. I will start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year. The Cochran household has been pretty enthused to say good-bye to 2008. The year did not treat us well. Here is a condensed update. 

Little John continues to do very well in Preschool. He can write and spell his first and Last name and his brother's. With a little help, he can do his whole alphabet. The world's greatest thing to him are Transformers and Star Wars. Ask him anything about them, and he will tell you. I have noticed that the case is the same for almost all the other boys in his class.

Chris's motto is "Monkey see, monkey do". Anything Brother does, so can he. It is both a blessing and a curse. The one thing we wish would follow this pattern is POTTY TRAINING. No luck. Chris is speaking more than John did at this age and is adding more and more words each week. He has also learned the letters of his name thanks to Brother practicing all the time. He is also gaining on his brother in the weight department. He is growing out of clothes as fast as when he was a baby. To him, the world revolves around Thomas the Tank Engine. He has several that go almost everywhere with him.

Remodeling and yard work have been put on hold with the winter weather, not that we have any actual SNOW. Recently, I have been cleaning out closets and sorting through boxes. Our local charity will be getting a big donation by the time I am done.

Pretty boring here otherwise. Check out the pictures in the Holiday Album.
