2013 is here..

2013 is finally upon us.  I can't believe it, but am excited about what is in store for us this year.  Being home with the kids has been such a fun blessing.  I have enjoyed spending so much more time with them, but have also been trying hard to really balance the cleaning, cooking, organizing, being a wife and being the mom that my kiddos need me to be.  I am hoping that since we are going on the third month of me being fully at home, we can start to get into a routine that suits everyone!

Mason is crawling.  So fun!  He mostly does the army crawl, but once in a while he gets up on his hands and knees.  He is very mischievous.  When we are upstairs, he will wait until I am not looking and crawl, or army crawl as fast as he can to the stairs...when I say his name, "Mason", he stops for a quick second and then continues on his way to see if he can get there before I catch him!  He hasn't fallen down the stairs yet - but its bound to happen at this rate, so I am trying my best to NOT take my eyes off him!

Sophia is almost three.  Just a week and a half and I won't have a two year old anymore.  She is becoming more clear in her speaking everyday.  Her sweet little voice just melts my heart.  Although as she is getting closer to three she is also growing into a little more attitude.  We are hoping to curb that quickly, but are enjoying her to pieces.  She loves playing with paper dolls and coloring!


Micah is getting ready for Kindergarten.  Finishing is last year of preschool and getting ready to start a new journey in the fall.  I remember the day he was born.  The excitement of becoming parents, and now he is about to start becoming just a little independent.  He is smart and energetic but I am nervous and sad about the change in our journey - but I know he will be amazing!
