Happy Birthday to Nora!

I cannot believe it has been almost a year since I have posted to this blog...life is just so busy in our house that by the time I think about doing this I am ready for bed! I often look back and read what I have written and I am so glad that I documented Nora's first year with us...so, I am hoping to blog more often for her and for all ofus. Nora turned 3 years old on friday, hard to believe. So many big changes for her lately, she started preschool and gymnastics and soccer all in the same week...we are seeing the after affects of all of those changes this week for sure. The first week of school she did so well, no tears, walked right in and gave me a hug...today was a different story..crying and screaming and kicking..more like the Nora that we KNOW!!! I am hoping that this is just a transitional phase and things will get easier for her. Cross your fingers and your toes. Our lives are full and busy but good. Emma is a sophomore in highschool, Owen is in 7th grade and Declan is in 4th.. I still remember how little they were when we went through the homestudy process and now they are close to four years older, time really does it's best to make us feel old!! Nora at 3: knows all of her letters and numbers sings Happy Birthday dresses herself loves to brush her teeth gave up her crib...about two years ago!! dives, jumps, swings, on anything and everything loves Authur, Caillou (ick) and Peppa Pig has a temper that is one of kind LOVES dogs... still hates to eat.
