Right where I left off...only a year later!

Well, I have obviously been horrible at keeping this blog updated. However, I will make an effort now to do so. Instead of going on and on about all the things that have happened over the last year, I will start from now.

Joshua is 6 and in first grade. He loves school, thankfully. He also likes sports. He just finished a season of soccer and tonight has his first basketball practice. He really can't wait to play tackle football, but that isn't until 2nd grade. He is getting excited about Christmas, but actually doesn't have a long list of wants this year. One thing he really likes is Ben 10 and he wants the Ben 10 game for his DS. We shall see...

Molly is now 4! She goes to afternoon preschool at our church. She has been through a lot this year, ending (hopefully) this past month with having her tonsils removed. It was a rough 2 week recovery, but she is out on the other side a healthier kid! She does gymnastics once a week. She wants to play t-ball in the spring, so we will let her give it a try. She is also excited for Christmas. However, unlike her brother, she does have quite a list for Santa. She wants an American Girl Doll bed, Barbie 3 Musketeer items, Fancy Nancy, Princesses, etc, etc. I hope she has been really good for a list that long!

Tom and I are getting excited for Christmas too! Tom is actually in India right now. He went on a business trip for 3 weeks. This allows him to miss all the Christmas preparation and get home just in time for the fun! Ha! He is having a good time over there, though he is really busy. We look forward to the great stories and pictures that he will bring back with him. I am still doing daycare and I have a great group of kids. A few will be changing after the first of the year as a couple have moms that will get to be home with them in the new year. So, come January, I will have a baby, a one year old(Part time), two 3 year olds(Part time), and a 4 year old in addition to my kiddos. Fun times! I am also in the process of renewing my teaching certificate. When Molly gets into school full time I can go back to teaching if a job should open up around here.

Let's see...what else...a big new year's resolution I hope to accomplish is weight loss. I am unhappy with the weight I am at now, so I need to do something to change it. So, if you read this: Hold me accountable! Encourage me! Join me! We will see as we maneuver through this Christmas season if I can get a jump on weight loss...wish me luck!

I hope to update this a lot more often. Sometimes with family updates and pics and sometimes possibly as a place for me to share my thoughts...keep reading!
