Welcome to Jen's lil bit of news on the life of the monsters! I will keep you posted on our family life.
Just to let everyone know that I am resigning from designing at 3Scrapateers as of February 28th due to personal reasons.
Wow-how time flies... I was just reading my previous posts and the last ever post was on February 24th 2006, almost a year ago. I am such a horrible blogger! Anyway~ Lets see whats new.... Sean is almost 2 (he turns two on March 5th). He is talking up a storm. He can even put two words together to relay what he wants:) He is such a momma's boy. I do love that! He is the only one that ever wants me:) MacKenzie is having a birthday on Saturday. She is turning 4! MacKenzie has really grown up this past year. She started preschool and her best friend is a little boy named, Jonah. She wants to marry him. I don't know how Tom feels about that:) Nicholas is 6 and started Kindergarten this past fall. He absolutely loves school. In the beginning, we had some issues because he had difficulty adjusting. His teacher has since told me that itr is like a new Nicholas, he raises his hand...doesn't speak out, uses his manners, waits to be called upon. I am shocked! Nicholas also started hockey this past September. He is in the Mini Mites (these are the 3-7 year olds). I am really surprised that Nick skates as well as he does for never being on the ice before. He keeps up with the kids who have skated in previous years. He calls himself a fireball. He has had games already..they played Kent State, Shaker, and Lakwood. Hailey is now ten and in fourth grade. She does exceptionally well in school. She also enjoys skating, but is no longer pursuing the sport as I think she feels burned out. Rachel is 15 and in ninth grade. She plays softball in the summer and I think will be trying out for track this winter. Tim is 17 and a senior this year. He just finished hockey at the end of January. He is thinking of pursuing Case, Bowling Green, or BW as possible college choices with a major in business law.
Sean is now 18 months and talking up a storm.
Some words he says are...
Boomer
Elmo
Mower
Hailey
Sister-this is Kenzie
Nick
dog dog
football
vanilla
Kenzie began PHP (Preschool) in September and absolutely LOVES it:)
Nick started hockey in September also. This is his first season, but he is already playing with the advanced children. Nick also started Kindergarten in August and is doing exceptionally well.
Hailey is now in 4th grade and is also doing well. We just need to bring the Social Studies grade up :) She is still a figure skater, but this may be her last year as she has broken 1 growth plate and spranged her wrist.
Rachel is now in 9th grade at the highschool. She isn't doing any sports this year.
Tim is a senior at the highschool. He is working at Arabica. He also just started driving classes. He started conditioning for Hockey. He is still debating on colleges, but it looks like he will go to a college in Ohio, maybe Case.
