Catching up (this may take some time)

I can’t believe it has been over two months since we’ve posted anything in our blog!  Oops?  School is now in full swing.  We have FINALLY redone our kitchen (we’ve only been talking about it for 3-4 years!).  We have all succumbed to and then overcome “swine flu.”  And that’s just part of October!  Soccer (finally) wraps up this weekend after a couple rainy Saturdays extended our season.  Our little Mary turns TWO on Saturday as well.  That one is hard to believe until she starts talking – she is extremely articulate, and she KNOWS what she wants (down to only a certain colored straw for her yogurt).  There will be no getting lost in the shuffle for our Peanut!  She *may* need a haircut sometime before kindergarten, but she definitely doesn’t yet.  I am assured that Melanie’s hair came in just as slowly, and Melanie has beautiful, thick, wavy hair now, so I’m hoping Mary follows suit.  We are heading into basketball season.  Jack is playing for an AAU team through the high school.  That brings back memories!  They are teaching them drills I learned in middle school.  It was great to show him the “correct” form for a lay-up (and show Bryan at the same time).  I still can do it – even 7+ months pregnant :)!  Grace is going to be playing for the YMCA and is very excited about playing.  Katie is going to finally start dance classes – somewhere!  And we are trying to start getting ready for baby #5.  Everyone is very excited.  The kids have all decided the best Christmas present this year is the baby.  We feel really blessed as we begin to think about Christmas and the baby that made the first Christmas.
