WOW...it's been awhile :) We need to get back to my blogs and keep everyone updated on what is going on in our lives. With two boys, that seems to be something new every day. Jack is now 4 and in school three afternoons a week. He loves it. Every morning he wakes up and says, "Is today a school day?" If the answer is yes, he gives an emphatic "YES!" If the answer is no, big groans! I love that he loves school. He has many friends and we walk to school as often as we can, weather permitting, especially this time of year. Our newest addition, Matthew, is determined and persistent, traits he definitely got from Carl. Jokes! He is such a sweet boy but if he wants something, he won't stop until he gets it. He is so smiley and loves to eat. EVERYTHING. This kid might break the bank on the food we are going to have to provide him. He has a slight "puff" addiction and loves all sorts of fruits, veggies and recently a few additions of meat. In 2012, we are working on being better- healthier, kinder, more loving, helping others, compassionate. Just focusing on being better people and teaching our kids to do the same. Sam is now working part-time and loves it and is juggling that with all of her previous responsibilities as scheduler, planner, chef, driver and caregiver for both boys. Carl recently got a promotion at work and is busy, busy, busy with that. He's also very busy as the Treasurer for Pilgrim Lutheran Church, especially with the main fundraiser coming up in March. Carl and Jack have started taking a drum class every Saturday which Jack loves and seems to be learning some pretty cool stuff. Sam lost her beloved Gran in November of 2011, which has been a hard road to go but we are all trying to live better in her memory and remember her in the best ways possible.
