So excited for this new year!! I cant wait to see what the year will bring us. I feel like my kids are growing up too fast...they really are. Alyssa has lost her 2 front teeth and has several loose ones :( I feel like this is such a huge milestone into being a big girl. Its so exciting to see her growing up but its hard.
Christmas was really nice. We stayed home this year and celebrated in our new home. LOVED it!!! We had family over for Christmas eve and that was nice. I think we will probably do this every year...well maybe.
My kids are amazing. We are truly blessed!!!!!!!!!
I will post pics as soon as I load some into the new laptop :))

December...
WOW!! Seems so crazy that Christmas is almost here. Time goes by so fast and so much changes. Its crazy. So much has been happening in our lives, so much GOOD :)
Chloe is doing well....really well. Shes back to a healthy normal kid for the most part and I pray it stays that way. She has some issues we need to resolve but overall she is really good and happy. She is turning into a little girl too fast but at the same time, I love watching her grow and become her own little person. She is dancing now and she truly loves it. Everytime we pass her dance studio she yells hi to it and she is so cute when we get ready to go she packs her little dance bag. Its adorable!! She has a whole bunch of shows coming up and Im really excited to see her perform.
Alyssa, my sweet Alyssa. She is loving school and making lots of friends. She is still deciding what she would like to do...she is thinking karate. So probably after Christmas we will sign her up. She is still doing girl scouts and we are getting ready for the BIG EXPO this weekend. I'm looking forward to spending the day with her :)) Then we will move into cookie season...fun fun. Her top front teeth are lose and one is so ready to come out. She is really excited and I cannot wait to see her toothless smile. Her smile can make the worst day completely better.
Ryan is also doing well. He likes his school and has made some good friends. He still keeps in touch with his old moval friends and I take him out there to hang out once in awhile. I'm glad that he was able to keep those connections. Hes such a great kid. I am just in awe when I look at him. He is so grown up!!!!! Christmas shopping for him has been a challenge this year because hes not into toys at all anymore. He wanted a laptop but he doesnt need one. I dont think thats an appropriate gift for a 12 year old anyways. We have a kids computer and the kids can continue to share it. They dont need to have their own.
Speaking of Christmas, we are doing a simple one this year. Making memories and new traditions and focusing on the real meaning; JESUS. Every year I have known the meaning and so have my kids but truly we havent really made that our main focus. Sure, the kids will get plenty of gifts but we are not going overboard. I dont want spoiled rotten brats for kids. They need to know that not everything is handed to them. I am looking forward to see how this year will change my babies...for the better.
Well, thats about all I have for now. Hopefully I will someday get better at updating more often :))

UPDATES
The kids are doing well. We are pretty much settled in and loving our new house. Having this much space is a blessing for sure!! I have alot that I want to do but its a slow process. I am super busy!!! Just trying to keep up on the day to day stuff is enough for me right now. We added a new dog to our family. His name is Jack...for now :) Hes really cute. Hes about 1 yrs old but not potty trained. I think he came from an abusive family...he seems scared of his own shadow but he is so sweet!!! Gentle with the kids ♥
Kids are doing well in school. Alyssa is getting perfect grades and making lots of friends and learning alot of things Im not thrilled with :/ But she loves her new school!!
Ryan was doing really well and Im not sure exactly what happened but he will work it out. We might be switching schools, we will see. Hes making friends and I think he is missing his old school a little less each day.
Chloe is doing good!!! her tummy aches are happening less frequently so that is really good!!! We take things day by day and Im really happy that she is doing so well.

Alyssa..melting my heart
Alyssa came downstairs before bed and informed us all that she was having a party in her bedroom tomorrow at 4:30 and if we wanted to come she would love it. of course we all said yes :) So after she was asleep I went in to make sure she was covered and turn off her light and I found this note on her door...
Chloe update (graphic)
So Chloe is actually doing pretty well. She is now off of all dairy and very limited Apple juice. She is having severe constipation issues :( Its getting better but she was at the point where she had to take a warm bath to poo sometimes several times a day. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. I ended up taking her to the DR and they gave her a prescription for an enema. I didn't have to give it to her since she pooped the next morning. I have it here just in case we may need it. She has had a few episodes of throwing up or gaging. LOTS of tummy aches but I think its due to the poo issue....I don't know. She will see her GI July 2nd and we will just go from there. I hate EE :(
School is OUT!!!
Oh joy! So happy school is out and we can have some much needed relaxation. Well as soon as get get moved that is. Whole other story for another time :) I am so glad that we can have a little freedom to just do what we want!! The kids did really well in school this year. I'm very proud. Alyssa was absolutely flawless in her grades and almost perfect in her behavior at school. I really believe that has much to do with the teacher she had. I hope next yr will be just as good for her. Shes a smart smart girl and as long as she can keep her behavior in check its a slam dunk for her! Ryan did well too. Maybe not as well as we would have liked but overall he did well. It was a big adjustment for him and I am proud of his efforts (for the most part ;). He has alot to work on and he knows that so we will just step it up a bit next yr!
Our summer is not really starting on a fun note. We have packing still left to do and the big move...its all up in the air right now since things with the house are NOT moving as we would have hoped. Crossing my fingers that we still have a house! I cant allow myself to even get excited until I am holding the keys in my hand!! Anyways, after we move our summer fun can start...whatever that may be. Trying to make some plans but yeah its not happening.
We have several Dr appts coming up in July...ugh how i dread them!!!!!! Now that we are moving further away that just means a longer commute in the car with 3 kids....FUN!! Oh well, as long as my babies are healthy :))
