January days . . .

January is cruising by, not much to report. We have been settling into a bit of a routine with Adam's home program coming, although they are only coming 3 days a week so far. Adam is doing pretty well with it, and in my opinion they are doing a good job of getting to know him and not pushing him too hard right at the start. He had a really good day the other day, actually playing with his remote control car! That was a first! He has picked up with his "No we're not going to (insert random word here)" ranting again, but I suspect this is just a reaction to the change and hopefully will fade again soon. In any case, I have not minded the change of people coming into the house, and it makes me feel more accountable to keeping the house clean:-P.

We have been doing a lot of painting the last few weeks, finishing up the walls in the living room and kitchen. We need to do trim (which Brian is working on right now) but we are actually in process of bidding out some window replacement as well so we are holding off on painting some of the trim until we know for sure which windows we will replace. Big expensive job! I will post some before and after pictures soon, but I kind of would like to wait until the new windows are in in the living room since that will really complete the look:-). I painted the fireplace white which makes a huge difference! I am getting a bit sick of painting, though:-/.

Not much else to report! Brian took Lynsey snowboarding on Martin Luther King Jr. Day which was a lot of fun for them, Lynsey actually took the chair lift for the first time! She is improving! Happy she is sticking with it! I am thinking about taking piano lessons from Lynsey's teacher. I got to thinking about it and thought, why not?? I love music and would love to be able to use our beautiful piano! I haven't heard back from him yet about availability so we'll see if we can find something that works for both our schedules - I will keep you posted!
