Time really has gotten away!!

Wow, time really does get away!  I haven't blogged in well over a month.  Wow, that's okay, I'm a very busy Mommy, wife, teacher, etc....   I've had alot to transpire over the past month.  My sweet Annagrace turned 9 on March 5th, which was the last time I blogged.   Since then we were able to go to Panama City and celebrate Granny's 80th birthday on March 12.  That was a nice, but quick trip.  We've also remodeled, well we are STILL remodeling our kitchen.  I was without a usable kitchen for about 2 weeks or so, and yes that can be trying, especially when you're home for ALL 3 meals everyday.  The remodel has been going good.  We've actually taken down a wall, added new cabinets and put down new flooring, painted etc.  Still need to do trim work and finish up some painting, add some door trim, and some crown molding.... That's yet to be done..... Hmmmm, I'm sure we'll get around to it sooner or later.  LOL!! 
We took a break from all the kitchen and house stuff and went on a short vacation.  We went to Pigeon Forge, with our friends, the Whitakers.  We had a great time.  Nothing high pressure, just a lot of fun for the kids.  We had an indoor water park at the place we stayed, so that was quite a treat for the kids!  We enjoyed ourselves too!!  Just nice to get away and relax!! 
We also celebrated Nathan's 2nd birthday, although he turned 2, on April 6th, we officially celebrated with family and a few friends last weekend!  I cannot believe that he's 2!!!  Time really does fly... He's talking sooo much now, his newest thing is to lay down on the floor and reach up to you and say "help me, help me".  Truly life is never boring with him around.  He's so busy and curious, he doesn't miss a thing, he mimics everything that he sees!  Potty training is going good too, he's been wearing "big boy" undies during the day while we are home.  I'm trying to keep the alarm set for every 30-45 mins.  Works well, except when big brother tries to scare him and tell him a bug's gonna get him, well the past 2 days it's kind of back-fired on Will.  He's picked Nathan up an told him "Nathan there's a bug!", well it scares Nathan, what do you think happens.... Yep, he has the "pee" scared out of him, so he's literally peed on Will twice.  I told Will, that's what he gets for trying to scare the baby!!  Lol!!
Just a quick update on our sweet little family..   We are so blessed.. God has given us 3 beautiful healthy children, awesome friends and family and a wonderful church family! 
Looking forward to celebrating our RISEN KING, this Easter Sunday!!!
