So it's time to play catch up again! Yes, folks! It's time again for the yearly blog update! I know you've been waiting on the edge of your seats for this. *snicker*
And soooooo.......................
In January, Marshall turned 3! Yes. *sigh* He now has that little boy look instead of the baby boy look. He's certainly the fearless one of the four. If it seems like a good idea at the time, he'll give it a go. I do not look forward to ER visits that seem inevitable.
In February, Gabe turned 6! He and Jasmine(who will turn 5 in May) are in Kindergarten this year. It has certainly been an adventure. They have both done well in school, although I've been less than happy with the curriculum we used. (*ahem* Abeka) We'll be trying something different in the next school year.
We started a house! The footers are poured and Josh is working on the retaining wall now. He's putting in an enormous amount of hard work, and we are thankful. :)
I started trying to lose weight and get into shape last September. So far, I've lost 21 pounds and I don't know how many inches. It's nice to fit back into some clothes that have been sitting in my closet.
Alex will be turning 1 in a few weeks. This year has really blown by me. We call her Smiley sometimes because she's just full of them. She loves attention and there is no shortage of that from anyone in this house. She learned to clap yesterday. I must say, she's quite proud of herself. No first steps yet. Pulling up and walking down the couch, yes. I think she still feels unsure in her footing, so she mostly just leans forward instead of stepping forward.
I'm in no hurry here Alex......it won't bother me if you stay a baby for a little longer. :)
