So what has been going on you ask? A whole heap! My girls are now 6 and 3!!!
Here is my beautiful Alyssa back in March:
And again graduating from Kindergarten:
Alyssa grew and learned so much over the past year and I am kicking myself for not writing it all down. (The major motivator for the every other day posting). I was a smart mommy and caught it all on film though so at least I will have the pictures to jog my memory. Alyssa is very much her own person and in her own little world most of the time. She has a very active imagination and is not afraid to use it. She has not outgrown her drama queen status and has become very much the diva princess. We have been cultivating her tough side though. This year she played T-ball and learned there is NO crying in baseball!
And now for Miss Be:
At her sister's last T-ball game:
Abby has turned into such an explorative little one! She is very inquisitive and watches her sister like a hawk. If Alyssa isn't careful Abby is quick to point out her downfall. But unlike her big sister she is always on the look out for her. Abby takes on the role of sister's keeper. She is always aware of where sissy is and if she is missing. Abby also will never ask for something unless there is some for sissy too!
Jeremy and I will be celebrating our 8 year anniversary tomorrow! It is hard to believe that we have been married that long and all that has happened in that short amount of time. I am more in love with him now than I was then. And that love continues to grow more and more everyday. Here is the love of my life:
Our latest project has been landscaping the yard. We are putting in a pool patio and fixing the flower beds that were here when we moved in. I also put in a bed of my own and we got the girl's swing set anchored and mulched in. Here is part of what we got done this weekend:
The girls were even helpful:
I have also been going to school during all of this. I have 14 more months until I will have my BA degree in Christian Ministry. Then I am going to get my teaching certificate. Eventually when I decide I have recovered from being school for the last 26 years I will go back and get my MA in Education but that's a ways off. In my "spare" (hahahahaha!!!!) time I am still scrapbooking. Maybe on Wednesday's post I'll put up some of my recent work.
So you can see we have been busy busy busy for the past few months. It is simply amazing what God has challenged us to and brought us through. I cannot wait to see what is in store. And I will be blogging it better, I promise!
One last parting picture:
Until next time...God Bless!!
