Updates

So I have been horrible about updating my blog! I feel like I have nothing interesting to write about or I want to keep my blog positive or I am just too busy! Well I have been reading many blogs lately and everybody has whiny, "poor me" posts every once in a while, it makes me realize we are all human and EVERYBODY has a bad day once in a while, even the people who never appear to! I also realized that I am a fool for thinking I have nothing "interesting" to write about. Just because I don't run marathons, craft, go on trips or do anything else that I think people would find interesting, does not mean that my crazy, fun, sometimes hectic and stressful life isn't amazingly interesting to somebody and I am robbing them of their entertainment by not blogging about it! SO I am determined to be more diligent about blogging!
OK, now that I got that off my chest and out of the way, where to begin.....

Well Melody started Kindergarten this year, WOW! what an adventure that has been! Everybody told me that once the kids start school I would have more free time and wouldn't know what to do with myself, HAHA well I feel so much busier! Before school we could, at a moment's notice, jump up and go to lunch or the park or wherever our heart's desired. Now, we have to schedule things around school so that we can be sure to include Melody. Melody has homework Mon- Thurs, while it only takes 10-15 minutes it is still something we have to schedule in and remember to do along with reading. She sure loves school though! Hopefully that never changes!
Coda has taken a huge interest in Video Games, much to Daddy's delight :D He plays them every chance he gets and I think it is improving his motor skills along with his social skills, so I have no problems with it. I can't believe how much he has grown and changed over the last year!
Cadence is so in love with Thomas the train and loves playing on the website! He has also grown and changed so much! I love my kids!
Nate has had a few teeth pulled, which has been somewhat of an adventure, but other than that he is just working hard and I am so INCREDIBLY proud of all he has accomplished over the years!
My job is going quite well and though I am having to adjust to working so much, I am loving it! I have made many friends and love feeling like I am accomplishing things! Wish I had more time with my family, however. One day, I will be able to work while they are at school and be home in the evenings, can't wait for that!!
So really not too much going on, but we are keeping busy and enjoying life as much as possible! We have had our struggles and accomplishments, our ups and downs. But I know I will look back at all that has happened this year with fondness. It has been SO great! I honestly couldn't ask for more than what I have right now... Family, Friends and LOVE!!!
