Almost 3

Wow, I haven't updated since Alex's birthday-and it's amazing how much can change in less than two months. First, hard to believe that Laura is going to be turning 3 in less than a month-she's grown from a toddler to a little girl before our very eyes.

Laura is a spitfire, she will be giving us a run for our money in her teenage years, I can already see it. Her personality, zest for life, and want to be older and continually accomplish what her brother can do make my heart ache-in a good way. She's growing so much quicker it seems than Alex at that age. . . She is moving into the 3 year old class at daycare, and she really enjoys having her own "school" to go to w/ her sister. Laura has the most infectious smile, she doesn't give them up easily so you know when you get a good one you can't help but smile yourself. She's bold, sassy, and my little girl-time needs to stand still a bit longer so she can remain that way:).

Since my last post it may come as a shock to some, and not others that Jason has decided to dissolve his construction business and start working for his family's sand mining business. He's continuing towards his bachelor's degree as well. He's settled into his new job fairly well other than sleep adjustments, those ailments are minor compared to the stress his own business put on himself, our relationship and our family. Our life is like night and day now, and for the better-for many years I was often at the end of my rope and felt his business wasn't worth the stress it caused but I kept telling myself someday things will get better. Did I honestly believe that, no; but now that I'm here I feel like our persistence paid off and we can move onto happier days.

I don't see many responses here-so I'm not sure many people are reading or not. W/ the buzz of facebook I feel like I've lost touch w/ my blog. Til next time.
