Updates...

Well it has been a long time since writing and uploading pics.

Where to begin....
1) Ben was moved to the AM kindergarten class where he is surrounded by a group of boys who are at the same point in terms of learning. It was requested by the school so we didn't hesitate and he is LOVING school. Ben is reading and writing up a storm and is so happy with the challenge. I have found that my bug is happiest when challenged. I think that's a very good trait and sometimes one that this mom has to remember when I'm leaning towards a low-key day. We are happiest when conquering stuff!
2) Amelia continues to grow up so fast. She goes down the big slides on the playground, is so confident, introduces herself and announces her age. Her favorite thing to wear is her super hero shirt and hates to have her hair "done".
3) I have been contemplating how I want to fill my extra time once Amelia starts preschool next year and Ben is in school full time. I know that we absolutely made the best decision for our family with me being home full time and for that I am so thankful! It goes by so quickly. I can't believe that we are entering a point where they won't be with me 24/7. I am so thankful for all of the little moments with them that I've had since they were born and am trying to focus on how exciting it is to watch who they are becoming as well as to look forward to the possibilities of where I will go know with a little bit of extra time for me. Hmmmm.... time will tell.
4) David is loving his new career. It has been so exciting to watch him be invigorated by what he's doing and dreaming of the possibilities. He also ran a half marathon in Harbor Springs - he love that stuff! The kids both ran in the fun run on that day and came across the finish line with huge smiles. We were so proud of them being so proud of themselves.
5) Looks like we will be digging for the cabins next week - wow! We're all so excited and are hoping to head up to Cedarville for the day to watch the diggers!
6) Continuing to love life and be so thankful for where we are and where we are heading! This journey is truly amazing - we are so blessed!
