Welcome to our family Blog!

In the past week I've had two friends send me an email informing me of their new blog site. I also have several other friends who have started ones and decided that I too need to get with the program. It will be an easy way to inform all our family and friends of our life.
So here goes:
Emma is already talking about her birthday (she'll be four years old 5 months from now) and has told me she wants a make-up cake. For those of you that don't know - I go all out on the birthday cakes - I like to create! It will be a fun one! Emma loves to play dress-up and use her imagination. She cracks me up with the stories she creates. Playing "Mary" is one character she still plays daily even though Christmas has passed. She's been asking so many questions lately about Jesus and wanting to know more. It's time we get this girl her own Bible. Emma is enjoying preschool and loves her teachers Ms. Anne and Ms. Lois. Surprisingly, no "best friends" in her class. She still says Adele is favorite friend but we just found out that they are moving this summer. She will be very sad (as we all will).
Aubrey is 1 years old going on 3 (she wants to be and do everything her sister does). There isn't much she can't do that Emma can. She LOVES to climb - the chair, couch, bed or table....whatever she sees as a challenge at the time. And the girl has a good arm - she can throw like a "boy". We're convinced she'll be our athletic one. She's such a happy child and loves life. Her little "thing" that she does is bob her head back and forth (if you can believe it she started doing that when she was only a month old). Now she does it in silliness and we affectionately call her Bobble Head.
Jason's job at Sysco is going great and his business continues to flourish. He even won us a trip to Las Vegas at the end of February. It will be our first trip without the kids. My sister in Philly has graciously agreed to watch them for us. The kids will have a ball there with their older cousins.
As for me, I get up at 4:30 every morning except on Sat/Sun/Mon to start my day at a job I started in October. Although it's a sacrifice to get up early, it's worth it to be at home with the kids. I'm usually ready for bed at 8pm but sometimes push it later so that I can relax after the kids go to bed. I have big plans for 2008 - I would like to do a sprint triathlon in October called Ramblin Rose which is women only. I was training for it last year but had to withdraw as I had a spill off my bike and tore a ligament in my thumb which required surgery. All is good now.
Well folks, this should be a good start to the family blog. We'll keep you updated of things that are going on and you can watch our kids grow as we all know they do too quickly.
