My Goodness I can't believe I am actually writing Happy New Year !!

I need to apologize for my lack of updating and thank those of you that still check in and not giving up on me !

Well I won't write a book to let you know what has happened since my last update because you wouldn't have enough time to read it ! Anyway as much as I don't want to brag ( because you know what happens when I do ) Kearstin is doing wonderful ! She is growing ( a couple of months ago she was wearing 3-6 months shorts and now she is wearing 4T !!! Can you believe that ? ) and getting stronger everyday....She amazes us more and more everytime we look at her.... She is trying to smile more often, she is "talking" her language, she is using switches to activate lights and toys she continues to do her favorite things so Big and sucks her thumb~~ we now know for sure she is happy ( before all we wanted was to know she was happy but she has proven to us that she is ) She gets so excited she kicks her legs and throws her arms ~ it makes us laugh and happy each time we see her do it.

Katelyn is growing as well.... I just took her to the doctor this past week and she is on the 97or her height ( she is almost 3 1/2 feet tall and she is 95 or weight 36 pounds....the doctor did a calculation and said she will be between 5'9 and 6'3 when she is grown !! He laughed and said your going to have to look up to her one day ! She just turned three in October..... she is also very advanced for her age...he couldn't believe how smart she was. She has known her abc's since she was two, counts to 20 knows her colors, knows country music and who sings it better than I do ! She loves Hannah Montana, doll babies ( she acts like a little mommy ) and still loves to watch Barney.

Chris is doing well. He is still working at Food Loin. He is hardly ever home always on the run except when he is out of gas and needs to come home with his hand out...

Ron is doing well. He has been busy building our pole barn (garage ) when he isn't busy working....so as you can imagine it's taken a long time to build b/c he is always working.

As for me I still have my cleaning business... I really enjoy doing this kind of work. I can work around Kearstin and her needs as well as help out with some bills....I have met alot of very nice people along with way.

We all had a wonderful Christmas ~ we cherish the meaning of being home for the holidays ! This is the first year Kearstin has ever been home for Thanksgiving and Christmas both ... and her second Christmas out of six years to be home....what more could we have asked for ? Santa came and treated all of us very good....

Well, I need to hop off of here for now ... one of my new year goals is to keep you updated more often we'll see how well I do ! Until then I hope all of you have a blessed, healthy and happy new year !

Love,
Florie
