Merry Christmas! (finally)

Tuesday night John and I went to see Celine Dion in concert. Wow it was great! It was our second Celine concert, and as I'm a super fan, I loved every minute of it! The tickets, although, were a gift from John last Christmas happened to fall in our anniversary week. How exciting to have such a fun event that works as both Christmas AND anniversary! On our actual anniversary, I believe we have dinner and a movie (at home) planned. Ok, back to the concert.... she sang all the songs I like, and plus a few new ones that sound pretty good. She also did a tribute to Heart and Queen. We saw a few friends there, which was awsome, and either waved or chatted with them. Did I mention that we had an AWSOME time? It was such a good concert! Yay!

Look how we've grown!

The kids have really grown! I decided a group shot of all the kids was needed to document how big everyone is getting. Keira is almost 16 months now and a very active little girl. She loves swings, eating grapes and being tickled. She is learning to talk, and says about 5 clear-ish words that we can understand. Sariah is an active 4 year old. She loves to "read" books and rollerskate, her favorite food is burritos. She is in the process of learning to read short easy words through phonics. Katie John, almost 7, is doing well in school. She loves to go on playdates with friends, read books with mommy and play dress-ups. Katie John is happy that I'm sewing her Halloween costume this year, she will be Fauna the green fairy in Sleeping Beauty. Jonah is a busy boy. Between cubscouts, school and chess club, he's a happy boy. Recently he and his dad worked down at a neighbors' house, moving bricks and digging holes for about 5 hours (with a lunch in there), he came home super excited to be paid $.30 and 4 cookies. Our goal is that all our children grow up to be good workers, and Jonah is well on his way to learning how to work and the value of hard earned money.
So now you have an update on the kids and what they are doing. I just can't believe they are growing up so fast!
