State of the Feral address 2018 vol.1

I have decided to address all my wonderful subjects and give them an update on how our year has been so far.  Yes there will be more volumes to come.

The ferrell children have been absolutely wild (living up to their name, I guess.)
   Libby - still our tiny one.  The good news is that on March 25, we passed the six month mark. Six month mark of what you ask.  Six months before that day, our little Libby had a seizure and wasn't breathing.  All tests came back positive and so we were told to wait six months. Well six months has come and gone and no more siezures.  I have noticed that our Libby is our peacemaker, she doesn't like it when people are fighting, and is always willing to give you a hug. She also will say hi to anyone that she meets.
 
    Mat - 100% boy. He throws everything that he can and loves to pick on his sisters.  We finally got his rat's nest of a hair cut and he was crying the whole time.  Whenever he gets upset, he comes to me  and says "Hold you." I say, "You want to hold me?" and he says yes.  He has to follow me everywhere and will only go to sleep with his Lotso bear. He has the biggest brightest blue eyes ever that I absolutely adore and will always say sorry when I tell him ow. '

   Natalie - Five turning fifteen.  She likes doing her own things and is constantly asking to go outside and play with the dogs.  At the same time however, she will always be in the mood for a good snuggle.  Her favorite shows are Paw Patrol and My Little Pony.

  Mom - I got a job teaching English online to Chinese kids with VIPKid and I love it.  I teach early in the morning before the kids are up and I go to sleep at 9:00.  I have been with them for a month and a half and so I am still trying to figure out my daily routine.  Justin and I teach Natalie's primary class and we often get a friend to come with us, (his name is Mat). It gets pretty crazy in our class the last hour of church.

  Dad - still going strong at UVU.  He was able to get his certificate as a Gallup Strengths Coach. It means that he can tell you what your strengths are and how those strengths can help you be a better person.  He loves to make the children laugh and is really good at finding all our ticklish spots.


In other news.......
 My parents came home from their mission in the Marshall Islands.  We went to the airport to greet them and Mat didn't want anything to do with them.  Libby was willing to at least say hi, but that's as far as that went.

My nephew got his mission call to Toronto, Canada, French speaking.  It makes sense in my mind that everyone is getting older, because I know I am.

P.S.~ It took Mom five years to realize that Dad is exactly 30 years older than Natalie.
