Update

So much has happened & time keeps slipping away from me. My daughters are growing up & changing into beautiful girls(they are no longer babies). I try to do my best to live in the moment but the moments keep getting away from me. But what fun we have! Everyday I get the pleasure of playing with my girls & pretending & imagining with them. Today I was a Star Wars character being attacked by the evil Dark side. Pillows instead of a life sabor was being thrown at me. We giggled & laughed together & so many times I think I'm still not spending enough time with them!
I can't believe the school year is almost over-Abby will be in First Grade-she did awesome in Kindergarten & I loved being her teacher! She just sent in her first book for a writing contest for her school...it was called"The Adventures of Princess Ella & Her Brave Siberian Husky"
I loved her ideas & watching her come up with the story line. Her eyes would twinkle as she told me about the characters & she'd giggle when said something funny in the story. What an imagination!
Isabelle is quite the clown! She makes me laugh everyday & always has such great ideas! She has a heart of a giver & always wants to make someone feel better when they are sick or sad. She also loves to sing, dance & especially loves to draw. She is an artist like her Daddy. We put up a special "Art Wall" in her room to display some of her creations. Simply beautiful to watch her work! Her favorite movie is "Flushed Away"! She knows all the lines, all the words in the songs & all the actions...I enjoy watching her more than the movie-what an actress!

We have been busy getting David's parents settled into their "living area" and my is it beautiful! Our friend from church did it all & it turned out better than we had ever expected. They seem happy there now that they have a place to call their own.

David is still doing amazing at the shop. He is busy all the time with work that God has blessed him with. Together we have been doing this intense nutrition/exercise program & over the last 6 weeks our bodies are being pulled & stretched in ways we never thought possible. We've always wanted to loose some of our bad eating habits & some extra weight that has creeped up on us & finally we are seeing results. I admit, it has been grueling-but I don't think we will ever go back to the way we lived. Eating was such entertainment for us-we love to eat...now we are loving to eat all the RIGHT things. It has been fun to cook the amazing meals & sweat like maniacs to get the yuck out! I've never had so much energy before! It's amazing how eating healthy can actually make you feel better! Go figure...
So, life here is still going-just not much time to post as often as I'd like, but we are still here!

I'm sure their Daddy is proud they were playing Star Wars! Hee. Hee.

We have to get together sometime now that our life has slowed down a little.
