New Year 2015

It's been almost a year since my last post. Time gets away when you are a busy working mom I guess, but part of my New Year is ensuring this blog is well written. Not for me, but for my kiddos to have a basic record of our year, of our lives. This year has been full of ups and downs. We faced financial struggles, and the joy of a new job for Bill that he seems to really enjoy. Our car had major issues and needed major repairs. Aiden had surgery (ear tubes) and Liam faced his toe being 2/3 amputated by a baby gate....both however healed quickly and did way better than Bill or I would have done in recovery. We have been blessed with an amazing start to school as Ella has thrived and loves school. She has to learn 25 words in Kindergarten....she is only half way through the year and has learned 85 sight words. She surpassed her math expectations as well. She is well behaved and we couldn't be more proud of her grace in school.She is taking tap this year as well and I love watching how graceful she is. She has such a heart for her God and says the sweetest of prayers. How she will soon be six is a mystery to me. She is articulate and loves with her whole heart. She loves her brothers so and is an amazing big sister. She is also very dramatic (I have no idea who she got that from of course!)  Aiden has gone from not walking and barely saying a word, to running and talking non-stop. I love hearing his little voice say "you too" which means "love you too." He is the most loving of the three. He will run and hug you for no reason. He grabs your face and will kiss you over and over and over. Each night he tucks Liam into his bed and kisses him nigh night. He is small, but oh so mighty and doesn't back down to Ella or Liam. Liam is stubborn, but a riot. That boy never fails to find a way to make me laugh hysterically. He speaks so well and sings (in tune non the less!.) He loves trains and music. He loves to dance and play with jake and the neverland pirates toys. Both boys love to pray before meals and loudly proclaim "AMEN" at the end. He is a very picky eater, but loves blueberries and mac n cheese. Even with all the struggles we have faced this past year we have been so very blessed. So goodbye 2014....you weren't the best....and Hello 2015! We can't wait to see what you have in store for us!
