How Has It Been a Year??

I realized this last week that it's been a whole year since my last post! How is that possible? I've probably written out a dozen or more entries in my mind for nannylogs in the meantime, but for one reason or another, haven't made it to the page!

AND THEN I tried to log on to poke around and discovered I changed my password from my tried-and-true one to some mystery what-the-heck-could-it-possibly-be one 8 months ago! (Allegedly.)

I never could remember what I changed it to. So I changed it yet again, and here we go!

"The babies" are now four. FOUR. The same age I think Buddy was when I started this blog! There's talk of part-time preschool this fall for them, like Buddy attended, if only to get them used to a classroom and classmates before kindergarten the following year. I know they're growing up and getting bigger, but I'm not yet to terms with the fact that I'll soon have to share them...

And Buddy--- he's SEVEN. And in first grade where he continually kicks butt and takes names. He's also started basketball in a rec league and just had his first game! I missed it, but his mother noted that he played well, and guarded his guy very well, and the game (being many of the players' first) was "too cute". I hope to catch one soon! He's so excited about playing!

Last year was horrible for me personally, but these crazy kids always have a way of cheering me up! It was a year of All Things Karate for all of them (Ninja Turtles, Kung Fu Panda-- movies and series, Karate Kid, NinjaGo, you name it), Barbie and "all things pink" obsession for Sissy, Brother further developing his "ladies man" skills, and Buddy's mastery of school and social endeavors that has been a blast to witness for me.

I'm excited to get this page going consistently again to continue to document it!
