December Update.... Ho Ho Ho

Warmest Holiday Wishes

Greetings once again from Sunny Florida. I cannot believe another year has passed. Each year seems to bring new adventures. Particularly in parenting. Jordan has developed the most amazing eye roll. Thankfully, she is a great teacher as she seems to have taught this art to both Garrett and Ayden.

Jordan turned 7 this month. It amazes us how much she has changed in the course of a year. She is strong willed... yet gullible. Outgoing... yet stubborn. Athletic and daring... yet timid at times. She is a true Tom Boy.

Garrett is turning 5 this month and is looking forward to starting kindergarten next year. Garrett is savvy and smart.... yet a whiner and will cry at the drop of a hat. He will go on ANY and ALL of the rides at the park... yet is afraid of his own shadow (convinced their are monsters AND Gorillas in the house) He likes school... yet given the choice would rather spend the day with me..... Regardless of what I am doing. He is a fantastic swimmer and rode his bike early... yet when playing soccer would rather pick flowers or spin and lives for the water breaks.

Ayden turned 3 in September and has mastered several new skills over the past year. She too is strong willed and stubborn... yet is the first to demand snuggle time and has determined that she is a REAL princess (often calling herself Ariel or Princess Ayden) She is high maintenance and girly (neither of which we know what to do with)... yet will spend hours playing catch and seems to have some potential. She loves school... yet thinks she runs the place. One of the reasons why we call her The Boss. It is a good thing she is so cute!

Chris and I love our life here and feel so blessed having the love and support of our family and friends in our life.

These are the moments that matter!!!
