Synopsis of the Knepp Family

Believe it or not, life has slowed down for our family a little, but unfortunatly not for long.

Student teaching has been and hopefully will continue to go well. I love my cooperating teacher and the students as well. They are so full of spunk and each have their own personalities for sure.

Scott is still keeping busy as usual. He is either working, ice fishing, or tinkering on something. He definitely goes stir crazy if he is in the house to long.

Emma is doing well. She has been busy helping take care of the babies at the baby sitters. She loves it, but hasn't quite learned how to take care of HER little sister. We are still working on the "sisterly love" thing.
Emma like her dad loves to be outdoors or at someone else's house. She recently spent the night at a friends while her Aunt Lacy was babysitting.

Josie - what can I say about this little monster. She can be sweet and gentle and loves to be with her mommy, but as we have all learned she can definitely hold her own. She is a biter and her mommy and daddy have had to teach some tough love. Her new word is STOP. I wonder why she picked up this word so early on? :)

Our sweet little boy is still thriving. I have been able to feel him kick alot lately. Scott and I will be going to the doctor soon to hopefully get some good pictures of our sweet little guy.

Also, our family will be moving out of our cozy little home into one that fits a family of 5's needs. Scott and I have thought and prayed over this situation for awhile now. We had a couple that was interested in buying our home, we looked at homes, thought about building...but nothing seemed right. Scott's dad has been interested in building a home like the one we live in now for quite some time. He offered to switch us homes until we decide to build (hopefully within the next 3-5 years). I think Virgil is pretty excited but I don't think Barbara is crazy about organizing and moving everything that she has acquired over the last 20-30 years. She has been more than willing to make it work though. God bless them. We will be moving sometime in March, so wish us luck!

Well, I get to enjoy my day with the girls today. SNOW DAY! One of the perks of being involved in the school system.

Everyone have a safe and wonderful week!!

Jamie,
I have stumbled across your blog through Courtney's. I know some of your sisters. The next time for dance sign ups is the beginning of next school year. I can put you down on the waiting list so that you have first dibs on signing up for the class before we advertise next year. Emma would be in the 4 year old class next year, which is 20 min tap 20 min ballet and 20 min tumbling. Our dance year runs from the fist week in Sept to the middle of May when we have our recital. If you would like to sit in on a class to get a feel for what we do that would be great! The 4 yr class is on Thursday evenings from 5:30-6:30. Not sure if it will be the exact time next year but probably? Email me at babean06@yahoo.com and let me know if you would like to be on the waiting list for next year or to come and sit in a class.

Jamie-Thanks for the comment you left on my blog! Your right...I think being a guy would be much easier. Ryan can be ready in 5 minutes. I told him Sunday before going back to work that he had no idea how heartbroken I was to be leaving my babies to go back to work. He said.....(and I'm rolling my eyes right now)..."I know exactly how you feel, I felt that way in jr high when summer was over and I had to go back to school." I told him he was nuts...that is not what it feels like. But I do love Trina. Landon never cried when I left and he talks about her at home alot!!
