Back to It!!

I cannot believe how long I have let this blog go. Nearly 7 months!! Life keeps getting busier and the blog was bottom priority. The longer it sat, the more intimidating it became to play catch-up, so it sat even longer. I thought about what to do with it.... quit the blog, write a summary blog from the last seven months, start with the present.... but decided that (for me) I need it to get it caught up properly so I can have the documentation and keep the story moving. Here's my plan. In my head, I have over 30 blog entries to create and post. My plan is to back-date the posts and post one each day in December. This post will remain at the top, but all of the new ones will fall below this one as they will appear in descending chronilogical order. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN beginning in December to play catch up with me!! If you're reading this, thanks for staying faithful that I would return :)

Mismatch Day

Mismatch (and apparently silly day) at school

Easter 2012

Bailey's 3rd Birthday Party

Bailey's birthday party was the second weekend in April and we had another great day for a party! We were able to be outside most of the day, which was so nice. We had the grandparents over along with aunts and cousins. Dan's older sister, Cathy, was able to come up with her girls and I think it is great when the cousins can be together. The kids played hard and had a blast. The last picture in the album is of just how tired Bailey was when everyone else left. She wandered upstairs to sing her Bible songs and fell asleep against the guest room bed. Very cute!

Bailey's 3rd Birthday Party

Bailey's Birthday

Bailey's birthday fell on Palm Sunday this year and it was fun to celebrate her birthday on a weekend instead of weekday when we are at work. We let her open presents after church and then did our traditional cupcakes after dinner. She had a great day! Jacob got to pick out a present for her and he picked out Tinkerbell. He was very proud of it!!

Singing on Palm Sunday

Jacob's age group sang at the beginning of both services on Palm Sunday. If you remember last year, he ran around the stage, so we prepped him for a long time about how he needed to stay put and sing. That he did! He did great the first service - victory! And then..... the second service. He was a bit more fired up and after accidentally getting hit in the eye with a palm branch, he engaged in a palm branch fight with the boy next to him. The videos below illustrate the experiences. He is in a green and white striped polo.
