It has certainly been a crazy few months and I apologize for not keeping this blog up-to-date. We are in the final weeks before our house is complete and we cannot wait. I have pretty much given up on our current living situation - we are now surrounded by boxes and cartons in preparation for the move. Every wall in the house is lined with something, which makes us feel very cluttered. However, the end is close and it will all be worth it!
Collin was in a cast for a few weeks after he broke some cartilage in his elbow falling off a playground. He was quite proud of his blue cast. It really calmed him down alot for a few weeks but it has only taken him a few days to get back into the "swing" of things.
We have been inside for the past few days due to a tremendous storm that has managed to close our schools for three days! The kids and I are getting cabin fever. They are also bummed because their school Easter egg hunts had to be cancelled, but we are hoping they will be rescheduled for after Spring Break. Speaking of Spring Break, we will be traveling to Pensacola for the week and hope to see many of our good friends there while enjoying the beach (of course!) Daddy should be joining us during our trip at some point.
Baylen had his school chapel program last week and I have included some video and pics from the event. He was a frog and he had quite a few speaking parts. He asked every night for two weeks, "how many more nights until chapel?" Finally the big day came and he was terrific. The class puts so much time and effort into these things, its hard to believe they are kindergartners!
Brooklyn is still her adorable little self. The terrible twos have yet to hit, although she can pull the sass out when she needs to prove her point. She talks our ear off and LOVES Dora the Explorer. Her favorite phrase is "Swiper, NO Swiping!" which she says with quite a bit of conviction. She has even tailored the phrase to put Collin in his place, "Collin, NO Collin!" If you have never seen Dora, Swiper is a fox that "swipes" things from Dora unless Dora can stop him in time by saying "Swiper, NO Swiping!"
Brooklyn and Daddy went to the Daddy Daughter Dance last friday and danced the night away together. Daddy picked out Brooklyn's dress by himself and the two of them had a blast. Wish I could have been there!
Well, hopefully the next blog will be written from a different home. We look forward to seeing some of you very soon!
