As goes with the title of the blog, I generally try to write about our life and how things are going. Sometimes that life happens in such a way that make it difficult to write about. This has been the case recently.
The last time I wrote was 6 weeks after the twins were born. For most of last year, a lot of my time and focus was on them and that situation. And now things are back to focusing on my family and me. I have talked to the babies' mom a little bit and they seem to be doing well, which is good to hear.
Since then, we had Christmas which went really well. All of our close family came to our house and we celebrated together. Amy and Cole had a great time and loved all of their gifts.
Amy and I have also started Girl Scouts. She is a daisy and I am one of her troop leaders. When I initially signed up, I didn't think it was a huge commitment. I was wrong. It has taken up quite a bit more time and effort than I imagined, mostly to get everything started and set up. Now that we have most of that done, it's cookie selling season, so here comes the crazy again. I do believe all of the effort will pay off though. Amy is enjoying it so far, and I believe Girl Scouts teaches a lot of great things. So I do hope that it's something she'll want to continue, at least for a few years.
I recently put in an application for Cole to start preschool next year. I think he will love it! He really enjoyed the time he was in day care last year, so I look forward to him being in school.
Amy is still loving Kindergarten. She's doing very well in math and reading. She can't fully read yet, but she learns her sight words well and is definitely on track to be reading soon!
So everything is moving along, just at a very quick pace and some days it feels hard to keep up. We manage though and every day leads to the next.
