January

Once Christian went back to work, the girls hunched down to look for jobs in earnest. They are also taking an online class from BYU. Actually, Emily is taking two. They are both taking a religion class and Emily is re-taking an English class.

Besides that, both girls have been trying to help in whatever way they can with cleaning parts and stuff for the things Christian is currently working on, which includes re-gearing Caitlyn's differential's on her XJ and trying to finish working on Terry's Trooper so that we can get it out of our driveway so that we can concentrate on our own vehicles. Christian has also been trying to troubleshoot the stalling problems with the XJ.

We celebrated my mom's birthday this past month. My sister was in town and getting ready to take my mom on a Caribbean cruise for her birthday.

They spent about a week on the cruise, but my mom came back kind of sick. She had a dry cough when we got back together to celebrate Chinese New Year.

We spent the majority of the day making and eating dumplings. It's everybody's favorite past time!

We were supposed to go back a week later to take my mom to the doctor. She has been having problems with numbness in her fingers in both hands for the past year and her doctor finally decided to try to operate to fix her nerves in her hands. Of course, she would do them one at a time but she ended up having to postpone until March as she still hadn't completely recovered from her sickness.
