It's Been Two Years..

...since I've written or posted anything on this blog.  Sad.  I have to chalk it up to being so busy as a mom, wife, teacher, etc.  Life gets in the way, doesn't it.  Looking back, I realize that it is so important that I journal--either here or somewhere.  Sadly, I didn't remember some of the information that I had posted on the blog.  I have to write down.  I'm losing my memory.  HA!  So, I am seriously going to try to pick this back up where I've left off. 

Right now, Cooper has just finished the 2nd grade.  He is 8 years old and is growing up so quickly.  He has matured so much in the last 6 months.  It is truly amazing.  He is taking piano and Taekwondo. 

Madelyn will be 5 in a few months.  She sure has changed a whole lot in the fast few months.  She is still sweet, but she sure has a sassy side to her.  She just finished her last year in preschool at the Methodist Church.  She did so well there.  She will start early 5's this year at Milan Elementary School.  She is getting to be so big.  She wants to do anything and everything that Cooper does. The other night Cooper caught a frog in the backyard.  Madelyn loved that frog.  I had to "make" her finally let him go.
