Hi all. This new blog is my way of keeping you all up to speed on what our family is up to and also to have a record of my adorable kids who keep me on my toes and keep me laughing daily! It seems that every day they say or do something that makes me laugh and I always want to share it but by the time I go to share it, whatever is was had slipped my mind. I'm sure all you mothers out there can understand that.



There are no funny stories yet today (it's still early) but in general, they are great kids. Lucas will be 4 years old in just over a month and Sophia is now 2 1/2 and almost potty trained - yeah! Soon our lives will get much simpler with far less to pack when we leave the house. I'll be very happy when I can shed the diaper bag.



Both kids go to preschool (St James) Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-12 and they both really enjoy it. Sophia loves Miss Amy and Miss Adriana and Lucas thinks Miss Tab and Miss Teresa are pretty cool. Every day they bring home at least a couple of new art projects to hang on the fridge and quite frankley, it's getting a little out of control. I hate to throw any of it away so we had to create project boxes for them to keep all of their art in.



Lucas' class is learning about "things that God created" so for show and tell yesterday he was supposed to take something that was made by God. He chose to take a ladybug that he caught in the park the other day. I guess it was a big hit with his classmates. They put the container on their science table and looked at it through the magnifying glass. He was very proud that everyone loved his ladybug. I think today we are going to set it free.
