Update on Will, KC, and DML

Much to our surprise and delight, the number of people reading our blog is growing. Either you people have nothing to do after work or you've developed an appetite for punishment. In either case - thanks for visiting.

The month of January is nearly half over and we're still talking about the great time we had during the winter holiday. The new year is off to a pretty good start and we have much planned for the coming months.

David resumed class at the University of Phoenix - he has 10 classes remaining before he earns his BS in Business Management. If he maintains his current pace, he'll graduate in December. Then, who knows, probably graduate school. Why stop now?

The quest to purchase a home is progressing. We're still saving and have decided to wait until the housing market in Lafayette cools down a little. Much of the housing stock is already overpriced - we not overly enthusiastic about overpaying for a home but at the same time, renting is really getting old. Oh, and did we mention that our upstairs neighbor raises horses in her living room?

Kathryn is scheming new ideas for upcoming food delights - after mastering biscotti, she's ready for the challenge of making Boston Cream Pie and white chocolate raspberry truffles. Dave's already searching online for expanding pants...perhaps something in a very stretchy - but attractive material.

Will is growing like a summer weed....oh my god, I sound like I grew up in the South...argh..the transformation is nearly complete. So, anyways, Will is almost five months old. His last visit to the doctor was about three weeks ago - at that time, Will weighed 16 1/2 pounds and was 26 yards long (kidding...inches). He's developing quite the personality...pronounced temper...when his father fails to meet his expectations. KC watches Dave and Will battle for supremacy...at last count, Will is fast on his way to assuming the Alpha Dog role.

Grammy Camille gave Will a Baby Einstein - Baby Monet DVD that teaches the seasons. The whole family enjoyed the experience. Will and David enjoyed the Zebra puppets - KC favored the music and paintings. Yet another testimony of who really is the cultured one in the family.

In February, the family heads to Orlando - Dave's speaking at a conference and we're taking advantage of the opportunity to see Amy and Mike, and their new baby boy, Robbie. KC and Amy last saw each other about two years ago - way before the new husbands and baby boys. We're really looking forward to the visit.

Each day, we think about Grandmommy and Grandpoppy Covington. We had plans to visit during Christmas but Will decided to experiment with RSV - all travel was grounded. We so enjoy our time with them in Mississippi - When we see them, we'll introduce them to their grown grandson - I certainly hope that Grandpoppy doesn't throw his back out when he picks up hefty-boy.

Tune in this weekend when we report on the next breakfast club gathering and the latest LaCombe adventures.
