The Long Awaited Post...

WOW! Has it really been another month and a half?! I can't believe how quickly time is flying by these days! All is well here in frosty (and I do mean FROSTY!) Wisconsin. We have had a miserable fall; the leaves never really even changed collor...they just turned brown and then fell off the trees. Additionally, it has been cold and wet for most of the season. I am still waiting for my Indian Summer days of 70 degrees, but I won't be holding my breath.

The kiddos are doing great! Sawyer continues to enjoy school. Even the homework!! He started Cub Scouts this year and is really enjoying attending the meetings. Bob had to run a meeting a couple of weeks back. His topic was nutrition. Tell me this, who in their right mind would volunteer Bob to give a talk on how to eat. I had to remind him that eating "good" isn't the same as eating "a lot".

Tatey is as sassy as ever these days. He's about as cooperative as a mule right now. His cuteness gets him through many of his more frustrating behaviors. I know, I know, it's the 3 year old thing, right? I am hoping I live through this 3 year old thing. But man, if only I could bottle his energy and sell it! His favorite question of the month (actually the last few months) is, "Mom, when can I go to school?" My answer to him is, "Tate, you can go to school when you aren't naughty at all for 2 days in a row." Fortunately this isn't a real prerequisite to enter school or he might never EVER qualify!! :o)

Sofia continues her reign as the little princess. And oh my...what a fiesty little princess she is! She is talking more and more each day. Her voice is so high and squeaky. It is so different than the boys! I can't even believe that a voice can get so high! Sofia started dance in September. It's so darn cute! She will be in a dance recital in April...only to be followed by being flower girl in cousin Megan's wedding in June. YIKES! OH! And I almost forgot! Ning Ning is in her big girl bed now! And she's sleeping in it until between 3-5 every morning. That is HUGE progress in my book! Not to mention the fact that now she can come to us instead of me getting out of bed to get her. Now...if we could only get that Tatey-Bob to stay in his bed a little longer at night...
