Well, Here it is 2014!!!

Holy cow! Time flies! I'm sitting here trying to catch up with changing passwords, etc. and I seemed to remember in the back of my mind that I had written a blog at one time. :) So here I am trying to play a little catch up! Is there any way to get back the last year and half? sheesh! I am now sitting here trying to think of what to even write about. There seems to be so much going on, but not enough time to chat. I think I will write a blog about Eliza's diagnosis. That is pretty fascinating. We shall see if I actually get around to it! :)

AAAAANNNNNDDDD We are BACK!

Hello friends! We are back on! So much time has passed I am sorry. (For one thing our "normal" computer went out, boo!) So? Where to begin?? So much has happened and so much growth too. Eliza is finally sorta crawling and her first word was "bird," and Zoë read her first word, "hat". Paul keeps busy at church and is involved with the new building project. I stay busy with the girls going to the library, tutoring, bible studies, house "stuff", art projects, running and more!

This past month was a  BLAST! Paul took me to Chicago for my birthday and I ran the Chicago 1/2 marathon. I would recommend  it to anyone! It was seriously SO much fun!! 16,000 people +!! LOVED IT!! Can't wait to do another one next year. Maybe in Oregon? We shall see.

Today is a blustery sort of day, good for soup and snuggling up to watch a movie. Cinderella came out on video and of course Zoë remembered that I was going to buy it for us last spring, so guess what we will be watching tonight? :)

Alright, that was a quick update, but I WILL be writing more! Yay!

We are still here!

We are here, we are here, we are here!! Life has been going on and the blog has been left behind. Sorry friends! What an amazing time we have been having with our sweet girls! Both Cricket and Peanut bring such joy into our daily lives. We have been busy this summer with birthday parties and friends and family visiting. I took the girls to visit their grandparents for a week and they LOVED being with "crappa" and Granny Jannie. Paul's parents came to visit as well and we had a blast while Paul was in Africa. It was so great to have them join us in our daily lives. Cricket is still not walking yet despite passing her first birthday. Peanut is growing into the "independant" 3's and is doing quite well with keeping mom and dad on their toes. I will try to update more as I have time!
