2 Down . . . 1 to Go

Today we got the best news . . . Tom passed the second part of his National Boards!!!!! We are so excited, especially because he didn't study as much as he would have liked. He's been so burnt out with school and just couldn't push himself to study super hard as he had wanted to. It didn't help that it was so easy and so much fun to play Halo 3 online with my brother. After taking the test, he was feeling a bit nervous (as everyone is after taking a test this huge), but today all those nerves were calmed. We are so excited!!!!!

Now we just have to wait for him to finish his last semester and pass the WREB (Western Regional Examination Board) - his licensing exam. Anyways, CONGRATULATIONS Tom!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!! And by the way, put the Halo game box out of the house for the next few months. You can live with out it if it means leaving the distractions behind. A few months without it will not hurt you. And you don't want to have to redo a whole semester because of it. Love you...

We are so thrilled for you Tom!! Good job. You are almost done, hang in there!!!

As for all your other posts...

Too funny about Declan and food. I love when they "shake" like that trying new foods. It always cracks me up. Good thing he likes his veggies so well too, the rest should be easy right? :)

Looks like you guys had a great Christmas break with family. Good idea about decorating bags when you forget stockings!! I will have to remember that if that ever happens.

Our kids got those "snow globe balls" last year from Santa and they still LOVE them. Heck, I love them. I think they are the coolest bouncy balls ever! Did you gets see the HUGE one that was like 5 pounds!??? It was amazing!

Glad Taylor is feeling better too. What a relief to get that taken care of. Hope things continue to improve for her.

I can't think right now of all the things I read, so sorry if I forgot to mention something:)

Oh, I love that your girls are so into dinos. I think that's neat and those imaginex toys are way cool!!

Hey Rachel! I happened onto your blog from a link on Marcy's. It was a lot of fun to see the pictures of your family. They are all so cute. Too bad we don't see each other very often any more. I'm glad things are going well for you.
