Living in Georgia

I never thought of it until a friend revealed to me the importance of blogs...it gives me back the memories. I never thought of it like that before. Realizing this has caused me to come back to blogging a year later. I want to remember this time with my precious little ones and have record of my time with them. I want them to have something to come back to that mom created all about them. I want to share my life with them and all of you. I hope you enjoy!

We moved to Georgia the end of July 2009. Jason got a job at Wachovia/Wells Fargo that started in October and I got a job teaching EIP in K/1st grades in October also. Obviously, October was a good month for us. :) My mother-in-law, Janet, moved in with us at that time to help us care for Mercedes and Madelyn.

In December, we traveled to Kari and Steve's house for Christmas and had a blast with them. We had a great break and made many memories.

We have had an unusally cold winter in Georgia with a few snow falls too. It is nothing like Minnesota snow, but cooler than normal for the folks down here. After enduring the winter of 2008 though we are happy with what we have.

The kids are growing like crazy! Harley is in 8th grade and Madison 2nd. They have both been on the honor roll all year. Mercedes is going to preschool 2 days a week and loves it. Madelyn is saying some words now. She says, "ank u, momma, da da, har eeee, and ids (kids)". She is 32 lbs now and nearly 35 inches tall. She started walking at 10.5 months. She was the earliest walker of all 5 kids. She was our first to climb the stairs so young and also the first to climb out of her crib. SHe has to keep up you know!

God Bless!
