Hello from 2013

Hello again.  Somehow I managed to do a million things other than record our lives here.  And my poor children's scrapbooks will be much sparser as a result.  I hope to do better, But I make no guarantees.

So basically, I've missed the last year and a half.  My kids have both had 2 birthdays with no word from me, and quite honestly, I don't really remember enough of what was happening a year ago to accurately report it.  There are a few things I can accurately recall.  Samantha started dance (ballet and tap) in February 2012 and started preschool in August 2012.  I finally called ECI in November 2011 and Jacob started services with them right around his 2nd birthday.  We moved into our new house in Oct 2011 and started getting to know our wonderful neighbors. After years of saying I was going to, I finally got a vegetable garden started.  We have made wonderful new friends.   I was director of our church's VBS for the first time in June 2012 and we started a Storytime with Santa this past December that we plan to have each year.  We have stayed busy.  We have grown.  We are loving our life and each other.

And at least for the sake of memories and the kids' scrapbooks (and for my mom), I will try to blog a little more.  We'll see what happens.
