Yes, I'm still here!!

I was afraid this was going to happen.  I start this blog and then life gets crazy and I can't find the time to update it like I want to.  So far, I am the only one in the family who is not coughing.  I just pray that I miss out on this sickness!!  I finally finished putting up the Christmas decorations.  I think I have been doing it for about 3 weeks now.  I try to get it out early and put up a little at a time so it's not so overwhelming-However, I think it drags it out too long and puts the house in shambles for an extended amount of time!! Glad it is finally done... Just to turn around and take it back down in a few weeks- It's all worth it!

 We have been very busy around here!  W finished up his soccer season and loved it.  It was so cute to watch them progress over the weeks.  By the time the last game was played, all the boys (and girls) were getting aggressive and going after the ball.  W scored several goals which made him very happy and of course he LOVED getting his trophy.   We just started basketball practice last week.  This should be very fun to watch.  He can actually shoot pretty good!

L is still loving her gymnastics class.  She will start competing in January.  We got the schedule for all of her meets.  I know where I am going to be almost every weekend in January and February....  On the road driving all over the place to see her.  The places they compete are anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours away.  This should be fun!! I'm sure I will have some pictures to post!  She has her 1st mock meet next Saturday to get the girls use to having people watch them.

AG is walking all over the place.  We are all enjoying her so much.  She brings so much joy to our family.  She is talking a little.  Her words she can say at the moment are dada, mama, baby, aaaaaaa (abbie- our dog), bye-bye, hey.  She has started to show the first signs of  having a fit by throwing her head back and screaming out.  I am SO looking forward to this stage!  She is so attached to her "pink blankie" that her aunt gave her.  Both L and W had and still have there blanket and blue doggie.  They both had to take it with them to preschool their first year.  I can already see that she will be doing the same.  

I hope to get some recent pictures on here soon as we TRY to take a photo for our Christmas card.  But, I am not going to stress this year over it-I have a back up plan if the picture doesn't work out!!
