| I love this picture. I think it really captures each child's personality perfectly. |
 |
| Nolan and Jack. Best buddies.... most of the time. |
 |
| Jack is our little comedian. He is so witty and never fails to make me laugh out loud. He is always saying something that makes me think "Where on Earth did he get that?" He has more energy than any 10 kids his age and Nolan looks up to him and follows him everywhere, even to time out for bugging him. Jack is doing very well in Kindergarten and is in the 'top group' for academics. I was a bit worried that he would be to energetic and rowdy in school but his teacher just loves him to bits and says that while he is outspoken and goofy it's rarely out of turn or disruptive. |

| Britton is growing so tall so fast his skinny body can't keep up. He outgrows clothes faster than the season's can change. Having a teenager has been quite an experience. Challenging at times, worrying about his future, watching him grow into a young man. It's been a learning experience for Jim and I to say the least. How much space do you let him have, what to say in difficult situations, keeping our cool when you have to argue about the same thing for the millionth time when we are obviously not as smart as him. Feeling guilty because I usually don't keep my cool, don't say the right thing and feeling like I'm running out of time. *sighhh. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I remind myself that he is a good kid, has good friends, makes good choices when it matters, gets good grades, has excellent goals and is working hard on them. Britton wants to be an Architect or Civil Engineer like my dad and is taking pretty tough IB, AP and honor courses in hopes to get a scholarship to a good college. I'm to young for this! |

| Mona Claire has been walking for a couple of months and never wants to stop now. She is the sweetest baby and being the only girl and the youngest is quite spoiled. I'm having a blast buying girlie things and dressing her. |
 |
| Nolie Polie is still mommy's baby cakes. Look at that sweet smile! Nolan has the sweetest little personality and is very insightful, serious, bright and sensitive. He is the most well mannered 4 year old I've ever come across. I love his sweet little voice and cute little smile. Nolan has been practicing pre-school at home with mommy and can't wait to start Kindergarten next year. He just loves going to Jack's school and seeing all the big kids. |
