Holy Cow! I can't believe it has been so long since I've updated this thing. I had kinda completely forgot about it until I got an email from a friend asking if I was ever going to blog again. haha I laughed pretty hard after reading that email. So I know that I don't have too many people that read this but I'm gonna try to be better since we are so far away from everyone.
Here's a quick recap of this last year.
We are settled into our new home here in Fort Benning, GA. We are really enjoying all the sun and the heat (at least sometimes haha). Marie-Eve completed 1st grade with flying colors. She received the best reader award for her class and was given the kindest kid in 1st grade award from the school counselor. Then her teacher told me yesterday that she will be in the gifted program next year. Before I filled out the stuff to have her evaluated for the program I explained to her that it was going to harder work and she said that she would love it. We are looking forward to seeing her bloom even more academically next year. She is actually wanting to do the summer packet that her teacher sent home with her yesterday and was sad when I told her that we might not have time to do it until Tuesday. She just loves to learn and push herself everyday.
Stephane is getting bigger and talking more and more. He is looking forward to be able to go to school (Pre-K) in August. I tried doing the same "Letter of the Week" program that I did with Marie-Eve but he just wasn't interested. So hopefully he will enjoy school as much as his big sister.
Jean-Louis is also getting really big. He is wearing the same size of clothes that Stephane wore this time last year. I think here soon they are going to be wearing the same size. haha He is such a joy to be around (when he's not getting into something) and has become such a character.
Lee is enjoying his job as a Drill Sgt and having the opportunity to get some different Army courses done. He works hard so that I can stay home with the kids and I am thankful for that everyday. We don't see him much sometimes but we make sure that the time we have is spent together. This fall he is going to Ranger school and looking forward to the challenge.
I'm doing very well. I'm expecting our fourth child in a couple of weeks and can't wait for that day to arrive. We are having another little girl and we are just thrilled. I'm looking forward to being able to dress up a little girl in all the frills and bows again. I might be a little out of practice since it's been almost 8 years since Marie-Eve was born but looking forward to it. This pregnancy has been really tough on me and so glad that it is almost over.
So there's the short recap of our lives over the past year. Hopefully I can get some pictures on our new computer so I can post some random pictures the next couple of weeks before life gets crazy with the new addition.
