Almost Half-way Through the Semester!

Hello Everybody!

A lot has been happening in the last month which is probably why it has been so long since we've last updated you all!

Already half way through the spring semester, we've both already gone through a lot of work. I'm finding this semester a little more enjoyable than the last mainly because we are learning about Art, Social Studies and Gym as opposed to Math, English and Science. Because I am enjoying the subjects more, the large number of presentations and assignments due are a little easier to work through.

Leah on the other hand has been buried in work! If an ordinary semester in a master's degree isn't difficult enough with all of the assignments and tests, seeing two clients (both of which are 4 years old) just adds to the already chaotic schedule. So there have been some late nights and early mornings for Leah with all of the planning and preparation, but we're hoping it will all be worth it in the end.

Hard to say that the countdown is already on for this semester. We both have a lot of assignments due, but the good news is there are only about 6 more weeks of classes before I move into placement. Speaking of good news, it was just a few weeks ago that we got the news of a couple more visitors that will be making the trek down south. My Mom and Dad have booked their flights and will be joining us this coming January; while that still is about 5 months away, it's never too early to start getting excited about company!

We've both been talking to people about home and have heard lots about the crummy summer weather ... if it helps, you can live vicariously through the wonderful weather we're starting to see. Highs of 21-25 on a regular basis with lots of sunshine, it really feels like that wonderful summer sun isn't all that far away!

Other than school, it's been pretty normal around here lately but we're still enjoying our trip despite having to stick to the books!

Trusting all is well back home! We miss all of you!

Jeff & Leah
