been a while

I talked with some friends recently and realized I have not written in here in a while. Things got a bit crazy with the holiday season. Lex is now wrestling twice a week and absolutely loves it. He went to his first tournament two weeks ago and had a blast. He has a trophy and it is his pride and joy right now! Nate is excited to start karate when he turns 4. They are both getting so big and so grown up on a daily basis. We went through sort of a rough patch (okay, maybe I did) and things got sort of bad around here. I stopped enjoying them and started yelling. A lot. I didn't like who I was becoming/became so things had to change, and they have. I have realized my kids are freaking awesome! I don't care what anyone else thinks. They are God-loving, family-loving and fun-loving kids and I wouldn't have it any other way. Are they "perfect?" Well, what's the definition of perfect? To me, as long as they are the three things I mentioned above, they seem to be pretty darned perfect right now as that's what I consider important for young kids. I can't wait to see what's in store for us!
