I have failed miserably at blogging lately - time has been beyond limited & photography has taken a lot of my time lately. However, I do enjoy writing about my family, so I will attempt blogging again :).
This past weekend my sweet & sensitive Tennyson turned 4 years old. He is so proud to be older & I am in disbelief the way time flies. As cliche as it sounds, I still remember bringing him home to meet Weatherly & Uncle Brad on a very cool & windy day (Jason thinks I am crazy for this memory). It is also amazing to see how much changes in 4 short years - we moved, Granny came to live with us, Brad passed to a better life & we adopted Mikel. WOW!!! I wonder what the next 4 years will hold :)?.....
Speaking of birthdays my wild, crazy & big hearted Weatherly turned 6 years old this year (in January). It has been a hard year for her - she started 'Big School'. Kindergarten is not what I remember it being. Some odd years ago (like 1980) when I started Kindergarten it was half day school days which included coloring, singing, playing and gluing. Now (in 2010) Weatherly is expected to spell, read, write, do phonics, add, subtract & understand money. I think these are fabulous things, however I was not prepared!!! So it has truly been a challenge for everyone. Despite the challenges & changes we have faced - Weatherly is still Weatherly. She lives for social time at school & she loves to come home & cuddle with her parents :).
Next month it will be Mikel's 2nd birthday, can you believe it?!?! Mikel has been our son for a year and a half & legally for 9 months. He was 9 1/2 months when we picked him up off the cold streets of Atlanta one late night in March. What a blessing he has been to our family!!!!
