Life is Good

I have months and months of catching up to do.  This past year of Dean's life has been so busy that I am over come with guilt over all that is already forgotten.  I get so sick just thinking about it because I love to remember.  This past year has been so wonderful and full of wonderful things to remember, but some will be lost till the next life to come.  Before all are gone I wanted to share a few happy thoughts and happenings of late.

Scott is so much fun.  Can I say that again?  I think I will.  Scott is SOOOO much FUN!  He isn't in preschool right now and it scared me at first, not only did he need the extra help but I needed that extra break.  But he has been so good and such a help.  He has taken his responsibilities as a big brother very seriously lately.  He wakes up early every morning and waits for Dean to wake up.  He asks me if he can go in and when I'm ready he goes in and greats Dean with a happy good morning.  He plays in there and keeps him entertained till I go in. And when it's time for Dean's nap Scott has to come with me to put him to bed every time.  He whispers, "Good night Dean, have sweet dreams, I love you." Scott is doing such a great job playing too.  Play didn't always come easy to Scott.  But now he does a wonderful job playing imagination with all of them.  Of course his favorite are still Dinosaurs and sea creatures.  He still soaks up any and all information about dino's and animals and such.  He is so smart and curious and... and... FUN!  So far this has been my favorite age of his.  We are best buds.

Dean is also so much fun and growing WAY too fast.  He is smaller then Scott was at this age but has developed in some ways sooner then Scott did.  He took his first few steps when he was around 10 months old but didn't adopt it as his main mode of transportation till a week before he turned 12 months old.  He has been constantly on the move since he could crawl.  He gets into everything, so much more then Scott ever did.  He is trouble but oh boy I love that trouble.  He brings a smile to my heart with just the thought of him.  His face is just so sweet and innocent.  His cheeks are still big and soft and squooshy.  I could kiss those cheeks all day.  Scott has always had the same ones.  Mmmmmm, love them.  Dean is also beginning to repeat us more.  He has been repeating us with mama and dada for a long time now but he was just having fun saying sounds.  But he started saying hi to us a week or so ago.  Its so sweet because he says it high pitched like I say it and Scott and mark have started saying it that way back.  He has also been waving.  On Sunday he started saying and waving bye also.  It's been so long since we've gotten to experience this stage that it has become new and fun all over again.  

Mark just got a motorcycle and to say he is obsessed is a huge understatement.  But because he is so happy that I let him get one, yes, he needed my permission, I am getting to do a lot of the things around the house that I've always wanted to do.  We don't know how long we will be staying in this house but we do know that we love being here, more then we originally thought we would when we moved back.  We are enjoying making thins more into our home.  I shall post pictures later but it will be a while since we have some very big projects going on.  

As I say life is good.

We have our stresses and worries still but more then that, we have so much to be grateful for.

We are so bless.

SO SO BLESSED!
