7 months in a F-L-A-S-H

Where does the time go? I blinked and the Holidays and half the school year flew by.

Here is a review in a nutshell...

Joshua started public school again, 7th grade to be specific. He is doing really well. He played and fell in love with football. He is also playing the euphonium in the band. He is first chair and doing really well. His voice is changing, he's taller than me, and just a really sweet young man.

Noah is in his final year at Hyman. 4th grade has provided it's challenges for him but he is doing well. He played soccer in the fall but is taking this season off. He loves his skateboard and being outside. He has become a wonderful helper with the girls and especially cousin Elijah. He has a kind, soft, sensitive heart and still maintains he will be a preacher one day.

Caitlyn is changing. My first baby girl is a big girl now. Tall and skinny little thing. She is a crazy sports enthusiast, talented in just about anything she tries. She has developed quite a shy streak lately, but that keeps her from trouble in her first grade class. She is a strait A student and our little princess.

Madilyn is in pre-K, learning to read and write. She loves being the baby of the family. The boys still dote on her hand and foot, as does Caitlyn quite often. She is manipulative and sneeky and OH SO CUTE! I find myself laughing at her so often. It's really hard not to.

Vince is doing really well. He has lost 70+ pounds and become a totally new person. He is no longer working for his company but rather in a warehouse doing shipping. He is happy and content and we are so very blessed.

I have been with Instaff now since July-ish. I'm crazy busy at work but it's fullfilling and a nice pay check. I miss being home with the kids but we are making things work.

The biggest change is that Vince and I are both in school now. We are attending University of Phoenix and starting from the beginning. We hope and plan to graduate before Josh does! LOL! It's hard but very rewarding.
