Hard to believe 2008 is almost over. It has certainly been an interesting year.

Zane is 4 1/2 now. He started 3 day a week preschool this year and again I wondered if it was a mistake. I had to peel him from the car seat and the teacher had to carry him in for the first few weeks. Then he found his posse. Jake, Justin, Luke and Zane play together almost daily. They have a grand time and Zane really seems to enjoy school. His teacher said that he is excelling at the math table and in the art area. Zane also likes to bake with Stone and me at home. We make up recipes using healthy ingredients. Sometimes the recipes are winners and sometimes, not so much.

Stone is growing up. He’s much taller and thinner now and will turn 2 soon. I just have to laugh when I look back at his roly-poly baby pictures. He is trying to converse, but words are just taking their time to form. He follows Zane around like a little lost puppy and they fight all the time, but still love to cuddle and be loving to one another.

Dave has been doing some DJ work online and contracting. He enjoys playing Guitar Hero with Zane and often come out of his office for a break and some rough housing with the boys.

As for me, I continue to enjoy being home with the boys but often think I should get a part time job so I do not go insane. They are wild little boys and need to be very active. I am continually trying to think of new activities and projects to do with them.

All in all 2008 has been a good year. We can only hope for as good of a 2009. May you all have a very happy, healthy, safe and blessed Holiday Season and New Year!
