January....

Hello...
January is here and will soon be gone. Its the new year and with that comes contemplation of last year and a refocusing of all the goals I want to accomplish this year.
We've already made a big decision- that aligns with some of our family goals- to homeschool the kids. I'm not sure if its a forever thing but am kind of feeling like it is. As crazy as it is to think about what I'm getting myself into I'm really excited because I KNOW its the right decision for our family. We have begun to turn our garage/ playroom in to a sort of montessori preschool setting for Tiana and also giving Hezekiah a area to do some exploring of his own. I will post some pics when we're done.
Tiana is now 3 and Hez is 8 1/2 months, army crawling and now eating cheerios. I feel like I have to start at least thinking about his 1 year old party but at the same time don't want to because I feel like I just gave birth to him. Time is just flying.
Dave just started his last semester at the community college and will hopefully be starting his construction management program at CalPoly in the fall. All very exciting.
I have been busy with the little ones, really enjoying the simple moments(taking walks, going to the playground, playing with blocks and ti's new favorite game, memory) and trying to make sure to include them in as many of my activities as I can. Tiana and I have been baking, cooking and doing dishes together a lot lately and I have come to love these moment with her.
I guess I'm kind of rambling on right now but my point is I'm really excited for this year. I feel like its going to be a very full year. Full of great family time, Full of the more of the Lord, Full of reaching out to others and doing what we can... Just FULL.
