It's Been a While

It's been a while since I've updated the blog so I thought I would put up a quick post. Collin (3) is really into puzzles. I thought I'd take a photo to add to the blog so I snapped this photo and following he said, "Stop taking pictures of me, Mom." Figures. Collin's  speech is coming along nicely. He has been in speech for almost a year. His teacher comes about 1-2 times a week and it is still going really well. We are planning on him starting preschool in the fall. He is a home body and enjoys being home with mom (or dad) but I think preschool would be a good thing for him. We keep asking him questions like "So, do you get to go to preschool in the fall." "Are you going to ride a school bus like Nonnie (his name for Tayah)" He thinks about it and politely says, "Nope, Not me." Tayah was more than ready for school and it was easy to send her off. I feel like Collin is going to be a little more difficult.
Tayah is in 1st grade and loves school. She thrives at school and is the type of kid who needs to stay busy or she gets herself into trouble. She is 7 going on 15. I fear the teenage years with her. She is in gymnastics and is planning on doing soccer in the spring.
This winter has been brutal and long and cold. I don't mind the snow but the cold is annoying. I know Ben struggles in this weather and would love to move south (Arkansas would be Ben's ideal.) He received my permission to sell everything and I would be okay with moving but it really is easier said than done. We have too many properties and things established to just be able to pick up and leave. We celebrate 10 years of being married this year so we are planning a special get away for at that time. Looking forward to that.

Other than trying to stay warm we have spent as many weekends as we could at The Farm. I look forward to spending some time there in the summer and out on the lake. Which I am sure will happen quite a bit.

How many more weeks of winter Mr. Groundhog?
