It is about time!!!!

I know this is what everyone is thinking!! It is about time I updated our blog!! Things have been crazy the last couple of months. The kids and I made it safely back to Jersey after our little vacation. We had a lot of fun and were finally glad we made it home. We have been here for just over a year now. It has made me think about all the things that have happened in the last year and all the first we have had here. It is the first time I have lived 2200 miles away from my family, first time I have driven almost across the whole country, first time to NYC visiting Central Park, Times Square, and Rockefeller Plaza, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois (yeah, covered a lot of country driving home!), just to name a few things. M had her first day of school a couple of weeks ago. She absolutely loves it! Brett and I took her to school on the first day. I expected to see some tears and an "I don't want you to leave!" but all I got was a hug and kiss and a wave goodbye. She was so excited. She has also been so excited to ride the bus every day. She is on the bus for maybe 5 minutes to school and 5 minutes from school. Yes, we really live that close. She is the last stop to get on the bus, and the first stop to get off. M also started gymnastics last week. She had so much fun. I don't know what it is, but I have always seen her as a little gymnast. T has been getting so big. He doesn't say much, but somehow, we are able to figurehim out, sometimes. He does things that constantly surprise and amaze me. The other day he was trying to get his toothbrush out of the drawer and kept getting M's instead, so he pulled the stool over to the drawer so he could look into the drawer. I thought it was so darn smart of him. Well, there is the recap of our lives for the last couple of months. So here are the pictures I know you are all wanting to see.
