Just a few updates....

Well, life has gotten a little busy as of late...hence the lack of regular posts ;). I am teaching three nights a week at Mars Hill College in the Social Work Dept. I'm filling in for a professor who is on sabbatical to finish her doctoral thesis. It's been an awesome experience so far...lots of new learning (personally and professionally) ...I am already counting the days until the end of the semester! Marcus is taking a class right now, so having me out of his hair for a few nights a week gives him a chance to get his homework done! He's also busy chairing the Board of DANN. And, as usual, some photo updates:



Inauguration Day! We lucked in to a snow day, so we watched from the bed...in out with mimosas and totini's pizza!

Sherman finally came home...she looks so cute as she works on ripping the arm off of her toy man.
In case you wondered what Montana thinks about Sherman...no, not really! She loves her and is 100% tolerant, to say the least!

Sherman is a little feisty and on occasion takes on more than she can chew. She enjoys wrestling with Bella...

We spent last weekend in Clemson celebrating my dad's birthday with the family. Michael baked a cake with Grandma and he and I iced it together. He "accidentally" got some on his finger and had to lick it off.

Here he's telling my dad about the nuts on one side and the sprinkles on other. Any guesses as to who the sprinkles are for?

While in Clemson we also enjoyed several games of "tag"...luckily there were 6 adults who could take turns chasing Michael. Marcus then played good uncle and blew bubbles in an attempt to suck the rest of the energy out of Michael (must have been the sprinkles).

I haven't seen Montana in years! She is getting Grey! Looks like the whole family is doing well. Great to see updates.
