2/17/08 - Happy Belated Valentines Day

Whew... The last week and a half has been busy but great. I have had GMAT review and executive education teaching responsibilities on top of my normal course load so it has been busy. Sorry for being late in posting to the blog. Things are going well in the Ivancevich household.

Katie continues to make us proud with her academic efforts. After being named a winner in her school science fair, Katie was a winner in the New Hanover County Science fair so progressed to the NC Southeast Regional Science Fair. She spent from 8 am - 4 pm yesterday competing in the Regional Science Fair. She had a great time and did very well. While, she did not get selected to advance to the State Science Fair, she came away from the experience having had a fun day, knowing she had done a great job and thinking about ideas for next year. We are very proud of her! Way to go Katie!

Amanda has done very well with her Topamax wean. She used to be on 7 Topamax pills per day and she is down to 3! She hasn't had any major issues with the wean. She is full of energy. We are hoping that her verbal skills will be on the rise again. Yesterday, she said Mama, Dada, and Papa so that is a great start! She still loves to wave bye-bye to everyone and give high fives and hugs. She seems more engaged with her surroundings now as well. She has decided that American Idol is her favorite tv show because she likes the music. She loves to be entertained in any way. Last night, she was a wild woman bouncing on her ball and squealing. It is a good thing we have high quality glass in our windows or they might have shattered by now. It is nice to see her happy. This Wednesday, we head back to Raleigh for a neurology appointment. I will keep you posted on how things go.

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day. God Bless!
