Hello 2014

Hello!

Hope the holiday season great! We here had a blessed holiday season. We had so much fun with the kiddos this year. The older two really got into a lot of it, and the trio is finally interested. Coach and I found ourselves really savoring the moment.

For some reason I am really excited for 2014. The kiddos are reaching fun ages, stages, and big milestones will be met. We also have 3 weddings this summer; Washington, Oregon, and California, can you say "road trips!"

Missy just turned 6. Today not only did she go back to school, but dance starts back up. Today she will get moved up into the next class. So excited for her to be with the 6-9 year old class, and no longer with the 3-5 year old dancer. This class will still be ballet and tap, but it will be a faster pace, and the opportunity to dance with props. She was starting to get bored in her other class, so I cannot wait to see what she thinks, and to see her grow. The dance recital this spring should be fun. She also wants to try t-ball (again, she last did it when she was 3, but it was quickly a big fat fail once mama was put on bed rest, she refused to go), as well as basketball.

Z turns 4 this spring, and he will start school in the fall. He is really looking forward to it. I pray he has a passion for learning like his sister does, and yes, I know not to compare kids, so I know he will make it his own. He is also asking to play basketball and t-ball so I hope it all works out. It would be good for him developmentally, but also socially. He needs to get out and socialize with some kiddos his own age.

The trio will be turning 2, which is such a fun age, but it also means that they will no longer be given an "adjusted age" (how old they would be if they were born on their due date) with their "actual age" (age from date of birth), and they should be all caught up developmentally. Eek! I will continue to have them enrolled in Early Intervention doing a monthly visit just in case something shall arise. B is walking full time, L occasionally, and E will take steps, we are working on his confidence like we had to do with crawling. They are doing so well, which makes me very optimistic about their future.

I am hoping this year to have a more consistent blogging schedule. Maybe mix things up and not just do kiddo updates, but also post some of our favorite recipes, and other favorites.

Here is to a great 2014!!!
