Guilt of Not Blogging

I feel so terrible that I haven't updated the blog in so many months. Most every night of the week there are so many things I want to do like organize pictures, blog, write in the kids baby books (about all the cute stuff they are saying and doing) but I'm just so darn tired after getting the them to bed that all I want to do is watch another episode of Parenthood on Netflix and then hit the hay myself. I thought about ending the blog but I really want to keep it open even if I haven't hardly blogged in 2014. Summer was good. Decker loves vacation and we were able to go to Michigan for a couple nights for some beach time. Decker had his first camping trip with his cousins, whom he loves to spend time with. Both kids continue to love being outdoors which makes my heart happy. Decker just turned five and is off to a great start in Pre-K 3 days a week. Decker had to get his long locks buzzed this summer because of a hair twirling habit that turned into a knot that couldn't be undone. His hair has never been so short-even when he was a baby.

Milestones

This month we celebrated a significant milestone-Kalena's 1st birthday. The first birthday always seems more like a celebration for the parents than the kid for surviving the first year. I never want to wish my time away but some days lack of sleep makes me. Kalena has a wonderful personality and loves to be around the boys-bro and Dad-and participate in whatever they are doing.  She loves being outside. This winter has been hard on us and we're ready to get out and play. Decker continues to love preschool. Lately he is questioning all things real-super hero's, leprechauns, Easter Bunny, dinosaurs, God, Jesus. Pretend characters, real but extinct, real but can't see, real but is depicted with a beard (he doesn't like beards)...God give me the wisdom to explain these things. Brady claims he is going to be a lot smarter than us because he is asking so many questions.
