Where does the time go?

So I've been slacking a little in blog posting. Maybe for one of two reasons. I can find a million things that need to be done around the house so blogging has not been high on my priority list. The other reason may be that there has not been that much interesting stuff going on here. Seems like kind of the same routine each week. Casey is nicely settled into preschool. Audrey, Chelsea, and I usually make a couple trips to the Y each week where I get a chance to exercise without being concerned what my kids are getting into. That has been a nice break for me and I think we will enjoy being able to use the Y and get out on cold snowy days. Sometimes even a 1 year old can get cabin fever! On Wednesdays we have been attending story time at the library which has also been a nice time to get out for us. Other than that it seems like we have just been at home trying to make each day new and exciting. Little update on the fam over the last month.

Casey can now write his name and many other letters in the alphabet. He is becoming more interested in trying to do things like that himself. He is doing a great job with his Bible memory verses and can say verses beginning with letters A-I. Preschool is going well and he really enjoys going. I think the interaction with the other kids is good for him too.

Audrey spends hours each day rocking, feeding, and playing with her babies. She is learning some of the same things Casey is. She loves to color and does a very neat job. She is also learning verses and can say them through "I" as well.

Chelsea is growing up into a little toddler now. She has a small vocabulary when she feels like talking. She can say, puppy, mama, banana, and I'm sure others but we haven't quite deciphered them yet. She loves attention and gets a little jealous if I'm holding the other two. Her biggest accomplishment in the last month has been her sleeping. She can now sleep through pretty much every night. She still struggles from time to time but is doing much better.

Hunting season has just begun so that means several things. 1. some long days at home 2. lots of cutting and grinding is right around the corner. (Well, I guess how much cutting depends on how good of a hunter Ryan is this year)
