Quite a delay . . .

Lots to update since it has been AWHILE since my last post.  Let's see - Ella finished her first year at Christian Academy of Louisville.  Kinsley finished up in the Terrific Three's at preschool.  (I might add, after being in the exact same school since 4 months of age, she still - every morning - acts like it is the first morning she has ever been there and I have to peel her from my arms.  Oh girl!)  I finished my first year at Kenwood Station as the Reading Intervention teacher.  I loved it and am looking forward to going back this next year.  We just got back from a vacation to Gatlinburg (decided to stay relatively close since we got to take a big trip to Disney in April).  Anything else?  Oh - one more thing. . . baby boy is due October 2nd.  :)

December Happenings

The holidays were wonderful, busy, family filled, and fast! We carried out yearly traditions such as taking treats that we baked to Friendship Manor, had a Jesus birthday party, and had daily holiday activities that kept us busy with our advent calendar. Our elf on the shelf, Buddy, kept things fun with his mischief. Often the days feel like. whirlwind blur but I wouldn't trade it. We were not just busy, but enjoying precious moments and making meaningful memories. So we were busy in a good way. Santa surprised the girls with a trip to Disney and they were so excited. Ella said "We are going to Disney and Santa's paying!"

Ronnie and I left the day after Christmas for a week in New York City. It was amazing and a trip unlike any we will ever take again. We probably walked 25 miles that week with all the sight seeing!:). We did Times Square for New Years. I state it like that because it truly was an event and not just a location. It was a blast and memories we will have for a long time.
