Yami is also making significant headway learning Visual Basic. She is more than half way through the "Step-by-Step with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0" book. She WILL be a programmer soon, by the grace of God.

*Noelle is STILL saying da-da a lot. She is much more content when playing by herself and doesn't seem to mind if mom and dad leave her alone, as long as it's not for too long a time. She repeats words often, and has said "tat too" to a postal employee twice, much to the laughter of on-lookers. Yami has even succeeded in getting her to say Jesus. Wow! Noelle loves to eat (SPAM!, oatmeal, and pineapple), listen to music (Beethoven, Leo Kotke (solo acoustic guitar), and Cedarmont Christian songs), and watch videos (Baby Songs, and Cedarmont Chrtian songs videos).
