Say what?

I haven't signed on to brag on my children in a while, so here goes...

Gabe is able to say several words now! He can now say mama, daddy, more (he can even sign more!), uh-oh, and his newest word is baby! He is so incredibly cute.

Arwen is almost completely writing her name now - except she still insists on writing her "w" as a "m" - I know that it is fine for her to do that, but it still makes me wonder why she does that - especially since she knows "m" and "w"...oh well.

Other than that, things are pretty calm for now. I end this class on Monday and start another class on Tuesday...at least I will be in there with one of my previous teammates and new friends - that will make it much better than the previous few!

What?!?!

I have been in school working on my Master's in Early Childhood Education for almost a year. In that time, I have made all A's in my core courses. The only B I have made was in some little intro course on APA formatting that revolved heavily on teamwork.

I am in a course now that also focuses on APA formatting (the prep. course to my thesis) and I am struggling to keep my head above water! What in the world is going on???

So evidently, I am well on my way to "mastering" the early childhood course, but the very basic ones are giving me fits????

hummmmmmmm....that one will make you think.......

Look at what Santa brought!

Santa brought Arwen a "pony." Gabe got a hobby horse. We have had tons of fun at our house!

second baby syndrome

I am a bad mama. I was going to get Gabe's pictures made the weekend after his first birthday, but something came up. I realized earlier this week that I never got them made. BAD MAMA.

Long story short, here are a few. Better late than never, right?

Freedom

This is one of the most awesome pictures I have seen. The men in the picture are my brother Josh, and his crew of soldiers/friends/brothers in Iraq. Please keep them all in your prayers and hope they come home safely.
