I am so sad and ashamed that I only posted on this poor little blog FOUR times in 2012.:( What happened to me? I guess it could be due to the 4 kids 6 and under, the very busy playschool I own and run and keeping a household going!;)
Our life is busy and chaotic as ever! Jasper's job is demanding, mine even more so and then there are of course sports, friends and a busy toddler that keeps us going!! Peyton is now 6 1/2, she is in gymnastics, rejoining ballet after a 3 month break and will do a little cheerleading from January to March! Reagan is 4 and LOVES gymnastics and her ballet class. Jordyn is 3 and will be starting Gymnastics and ballet in January. Caiden is 22 months and well, he's just BUSY!:) I can barely believe that he will soon be two! For those that have asked, YES, I am in full blown baby withdraw mode BUT as of now we are still set on stopping at 4 littles!
For those readers that don't know, I run a large family child care home (I care for up to 14 kids each day). I have two assistants that make my life easier and I pretty much would be lost without them!:) Each day my life is full of chaos, laughter, messes, some tears and lots of memories being made! It is such a blessing to get up each day and spend my day with a room full of little people! It's even better that my own children are with me each and every day! I am blessed to get the time with them!
I wish I had more excitement to write for all of you but, things have kind of been the same old thing around here. We have been filling our December with Christmas crafts, Christmas music, talks about what Christmas is really about, a ride on the Polar Express (which was amazing) and hanging out with close friends! This weekend I will kick into holiday baking mode, finish last minute shopping and do our annual Christmas light tour complete with hot cocoa!:) I am hoping to be on here A LOT more in the future! So, as I have said before (and then disappeared for months on end) please don't give up on me!:) In 2013 I will find more balance and put myself first now and then which means giving myself more blogging time-maybe a new computer that actually works and doesn't freeze too!;)
I hope that everyone is enjoying their holidays and holding their babies tight! I know I have been holding mine a little tighter since last Friday's tragedy in Connecticut. If you are the praying kind, please say a prayer for all families and individuals hurting right now. Life is short, sometimes MUCH shorter than it should be. Enjoy the time you have! Love your babies, kiss your spouse, eat bad for you food sometimes, sneak some chocolate, dance in the rain, take chances and live life.
Here's JUST A FEW of my favs over the last few months! They are in no particular order. Just some randomness of our "Chaotic Bliss"
