Year in Review

It has been almost a year since I last posted. Wow, has time flown by. I need to get better at this - a living record of our family.

I sit here, hubby at work, kids watching (sort of) a movie upstairs, and Henry keeping my feet warm. Our year has been so full. My children are amazing! Abigail has started cheerleading through the parks and rec; Noah has tried football, and is now in soccer; Henry is puppy school dropout. :) Pete's job is going really good. He moved to a restaurant MUCH closer to the house about 4 months ago. I love that he doesn't commute an hour each way, but his time commitment to the restaurant has grown greatly. All in all, we're happy. :) That is as good as anyone can say. My job continues to be great. I really enjoy what I do. That doesn't mean I wouldn't chuck it all and stay home with my babes if given the opportunity!

In just a few weeks Abigail will be 7 and Noah will be 5 soon after. I cannot believe they are this old already. I look at pictures from when they were babies and wonder where the time has gone. Abigail is so much fun. She has an amazing personality, incredibly funny, and so smart. She makes me laugh everyday. She is so kind hearted, loves her family and friends so much. She started in Daisy's this year and is loving it. She has her first "best friend" and I couldn't be happier with who she picked. She and Jessica are two peas in a pod and I love listening to them and their "woman talk" as they call it. Noah is a charmer... That is all I can say. He has this smile about him that makes everything seem ok - even when he is NAUGHTY! He is my cuddle bug. He always wants to touch you somehow, either hold your hand, stand next to your leg, or be held. At almost 5 he is still my baby boy. Noah's energy is amazing! Just when you think he is all spent out, he can still run! To call him busy, might be an understatement! :) And then there is my newest baby, Henry. Henry is a bichon frise and cavalier spaniel mix. He is as sweet as they come, and definitely the baby of the family. Everyone is smitten with him - even Pete! Henry came to us last March, and his first birthday is a week from today. Henry has completed our family, I love this little rag-a-muffin!

We've been working hard, playing hard, and really looking forward to Disneyland in March. We all need a vacation! The best part, my parents are going with us! We went two years ago and were only in the park for a day. This time we're staying for 3 days and going to do it all. Noah may have his shoes stuffed with paper - but darn it! He's going on Space Mountain!
