"a portrait of each of my children, once each week, in 2019"

Jaden: You had another really good weekend on the basketball court, and you seem to be working your way out of the little mental slump you'd been having. Your confidence was back up this past weekend, and you said at dinner on Sunday night that you're already ready to play again. All of your hard work continues to pay off - another pretty incredibly opportunity came your way this past week. More to come on that...

Brandon: You received a magnetic bulletin board for your bedroom for Christmas, one of your wish-list items, and you have been working on filling it up with awesome drawings of Star Wars and Disney characters. And in other news, you received a hand-written letter last week in your backpack from Ms. Sullivan. She simply wanted to tell you how great of a kid you are, how she values your leadership and kindness, and that she can't wait to see you do big things in your life! She has said the same to me over the phone and during conferences, but she is so amazed by you every day that she keeps reinforcing it because she doesn't want you to forget it!

Kaitlyn: We've been working a lot lately on sitting up! I think you are strong enough to do it on your own, but your focus on balance isn't quite there yet. ;) You still are happiest lying on your back under your little gym mat, playing with the birdies that fly above your head when we turn them on. You have tried sweet potatoes and apples so far, and we are going to attempt green beans tonight. So far, so good. You haven't turned away a bite yet. :)
