IS A CHRISTMAS LETTER TOO LATE?

Its coming to the end of February.It's frozen outside, with an blue skies and sunshine. We have seen single digits here in the past 2 weeks. Christmas seems like it was so far away, and I never sent out my Christmas cards...(wow. I'm on top of things)

We sure have enjoyed some pleasant sunsets this last week.

 Having 4 kids all at different stages, has put wrinkles on my face and gray hairs in my head. I better give a quick update on each of the kids.

Trey is now 11. We have had our struggles this last couple months. 11 year old boys think they know it all. I hate to see my own children struggle and not tell me why. But then on the plus side,Trey is growing and wants to try new things. He now likes the guitar and has all of a sudden, grown a strong interest in "Harry Potter." He doesn't want to put it down.

Morgan is 7 and is the top of her class.

 Her teachers say she is well above standards. Her best friend is a boy named Paul. But...I know that he is just a friend. She explained it all to me how he is a boy, and her friend...which makes him her "boyfriend." Cute..

 Tonight, I snuck in to the girls room and watched them read a bed time story.

 Morgan read...and Mattie just listened sucking her thumb.

 And then I got caught. (I'm really not that sneeky)

..and Mattie can speak more Spanish than the average American. She lives, breaths, and sleeps Dora the Explorer. She is also my most energetic child who keeps me laughing and shaking my head, all at the same time.

Colton has learned to Crawl and now has 3 TEETH (another 1 popped through today!)

He is such a fun little boy. Always happy and excited. His biggest problem is that he crawls and pulls himself up on things, but doesn't have good balance yet. He tumbles to the floor quite often. It's so sad when he falls.

 For the past 10 days, we have been rooster sitting. He is an indoor rooster, that walks around the house and sleeps in a kennel. He definately has a personality. Duke does not like the rooster much.

 And we are about 80% done with our kitchen remodel. It's looking really nice and I love the counter tops.

Can you believe February is almost over?? Man, where has the time gone.
