Someone said the other day "I can tell life with 2 kids is keeping you busy... your blog posts are becoming more and more spread apart." Yes, I am super busy now that I have a almost 3 year old and a busy 17 month old. John Reid is in Mother Day Out 2 days a week and Benjamin started this semester going one day. I spent a lot of time last fall looking at Preschool options and we have found a place we love near our home. Both boys will start there in the fall. We also spend Wednesday mornings at Bible Study Fellowship and all 3 of us really enjoy it. I am AMAZED at the things the boys are learning and of course stand in awe of God's Word and the study of Isaiah. Chris and I have been teaching John Reid's Sunday School class and I wrote some curriculum for his age group during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Chris started a new job (a wonderful promotion in the same company) and absolutely loves it! What a blessing! I have also started playing tennis and although I am not very good... at all... I love it. I find myself wishing I would have found my love for the sport earlier in my life! ( I know Dad, you told me many time to pick it up!)
We kicked off the new year in Southern California with great friends and the best football game I've ever seen!
And a few weeks ago we had a great trip to the Fort Worth Rodeo with my parents
Trigger family at the rodeo. John Reid's first experience with cotton candy. Benjamin was so funny with it. He didn't like the way it felt so as soon as he touched it he would throw it. 
Needless to say, he spent the rest of the rodeo without a sock!

What a great picture of my Daddy and my baby!
Recent quotes that make us smile...
When asked what he learned about sin at Bible Study Fellowship.
"Sin? Oh sin is not a good idea." John Reid
When sitting in the back of the car with only his own thoughts to ponder he says:
"Dad, it's not South Consin it's West Consin." John Reid still relishing in the Rose Bowl Win!
Because Benjamin's quotes are limited to things like "cracker" and "tractor" here is some insight into his personality.
I hope to post again soon. We have a busy next couple of week. John Reid's 3rd birthday, a big family trip to Disney and John Reid's 1st soccer practice (In true John Reid form, he seems WAY more excited about playing soccer than Disney.)
