Derek has been really busy. He is working and going to school at night. He has a really hard semester this time, with some tough classes. And if that wasn't enough he managed to get the sprinkler system done in our front yard! We decided to do seed since it's half the price of sod, so hopefully we'll have a yard next summer. Hallelujah!
My kids and I went and visited with my Mom today. She is doing really well. I am so proud her and all she's been able to do. She gets discouraged because she's not better yet, but she has come a long way since January! She even started driving a little! Which I think is amazing!
I decided that I really needed a change. So what's the opposite of long and blonde hair? Short and red! That's right! I chopped my hair off, and dyed it red! Well I didn't, my good friend Katie did. She did a great job. I really, really like it, and it's exactly how I wanted it. Thanks Katie! Derek really likes it. He said, "Whoa, you don't mess around!" (I'll post pictures later).
Maddie is starting to talk so much. And I love the girl, but she talks A LOT! It's so crazy I can actually carry on a conversation with her. I can't believe how grown up she is! She
loves to sing. Her favorites are: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, The Bear Necessities, and the ABC's.
Jack is as crazy as ever. He is starting to talk a lot too. We know he picks up A LOT from Maddie. He can count to three, and he knows a few letters. So far B and O are his favorites. If he sees a letter he says they are either B or O. He needs to learn some new letters, today he was just talking away and he spelled out B-O-O-B! We're so proud.
