January and February 2013

Hi everyone! Time has flown so quickly this year - it's been two months since I've posted!!! We've been busy here in Atlanta, having a lot of fun as we always do! The most important things that happened these past months are the Kate turned the big 5 and  MOLLY TURNED ONE! She is our Valentine's Baby...so we had a special day for her with family - she loved her cake too (not a surprise!!!). It's really hard to believe she's one now....makes me sad but also so happy to see her growing! She's crawling all over the place, chases after her sisters, and is trying to 'test the rules'....we love her to pieces though! The girls continue to work hard in school, and they started gymnastics! They love tumbling all over the place every Saturday - Kate loves the beam and hanging from the bars. Emma loves doing cartwheels, and jumping into the pit! Emma is going to start horseback riding next week - which she is VERY excited about. Kate starts spring soccer next week too - so we can't wait to see what she can do out there! We've had some fun adventures also - we took the BIG girls to Snow Mountain as one of Kate's birthday presents in January. It was a fun way to play in the snow - since we haven't seen any this year....tubing, snowball fights, and building snow forts was a lot of fun! They also enjoyed their annual trip to the circus with Gram and Papa! This year's theme was DRAGONS - they said it was the best one yet! Think Molly will get to join in all this fun next year! Tutoring is going AWESOME for me, as I love to continue to teach the kids - and have time with my girls as well. I try and volunteer at least once a week in their classrooms, and enjoy watching them and working with them and their friends! I LOVVVE my time with Molly also - just taking her on walks, playing with her other little baby friends in playgroup, snuggling her on rainy days! I'm so thankful to get to stay home this year! Mike is doing great at work as well! He won a Key Contributor award for 2012 - we are VERY proud of him!!!! He continues to be the girl's biggest fan - and gets them going every night with funny stories and games! We hope all is well with all of you! Come visit anytime!
Enjoy the videos and photos!
Love,
