Wow... a whole year!

I had no clue that it had been a year (or more!) since my last post. I guess I will have to spend some time catching up... not sure if anyone even reads this anymore! I will be posting some pics soon and catching up on stories as time goes on, but for now I'll leave it at this:

  • ELI PASSED PART 2 OF HIS BOARDS!! He is only a hop, step, and a jump away from being a licensed, practicing dentist. (1) Make it alive through the holidays with a wedding, Christmas, lots of family time and travelling with the three crazy boys, (2) Final board exam on patients in February, and (3) Graduation at the end of April (or May... not even sure which one). PHEW! We've almost made it!!
  • Jax is almost halfway through his first year of elementary school and is LOVING Sunset Hills. He has made it to the "Purple Club" for his reading rainbow and is very excited because he is one out of only two people in his class that has memorized the sight words up to this level. He loves being 5, having friends over, and playing Mario Kart Wii.
  • Ty is doing great in Preschool and constantly tells people it is "almost his next birthday." He's sure gonna be surprised when he actually processes what "not until June, like 7 more months!" means. He is a great big brother and good at helping around the house. I'll have to post some of the awesome pics I have of him being Batman for Halloween!
  • Can you believe Gauge is already 2!? I can't. He is talking like crazy and BUSY BUSY BUSY. He stays on top of feeding the dogs, making sure Ty and Jax are doing everything they are supposed to, and loves helping Mom around the house.
We have been having a great year--minus the temperature STILL hitting the 80s the weeks before Christmas!--and are completely astounded that this is already our last Christmas Season in Arizona. Next year's location is in the hands of the U.S. Army.... :)

Til next time (hopefully sooner rather than later...)~
