Where does the time go?

I had better intentions of keeping up on this blog but here we are in April - mid April mind you and I am barely making a second entry. So what has happened this year? Ben turned 5 - I am still in shock that he is already 5 and starting Kindergarten in the Fall. WOW! He is a very special kid. A great heart, a love, very friendly and social, rarely in a bad mood, super active and eager to learn. He is easy to please and he really treats everything as a treasure. I love this about him. And then there is Mason. Mason will be 3 in just a few months. My baby is almost 3! WOW again. Time does fly and I think you realize it the most once you have children. Mason is a beautiful little guy. Very different then his brother. He is not as social although he has come out of his shell. He is more moody but also a love bug. He still likes being rocked at night. He is going through this phase where he wants to change his clothes every hour. Usually this involves his brothers underwear, pj's or sweatpants. Oh yeah, and any Disney Car's clothes he might have available. He is a huge fan of Crocs and has started his own trend of wearing mismatched shoes (i.e. one red, one orange). He is a very picky eater although he will happily eat nuggets, pizza and anything chocolate. He's a funny and wonderful little man. Steve is well. He is about to take the Captain's test at work. I am sure he will do well. He has put in a lot of time studying and well, he is just naturally smart. Ha ha. But really, he is. Me? I am finally going back to the gym which is fun. I have taken some Yoga and Pilates classes. I prefer Pilates. Just working out makes me feel so much better all around. Otherwise chasing two little boys and keeping the household alive and running fills my days. I am usually running until the kids are in bed. We have some trips planned in the year to come. Hopefully Steve and I will get to take a little trip away. I had my heart set on Hawaii but with the airfare prices as well as the many airline issues, I think we may postpone till next year. I am leaning towards a closer get away to Santa Barbara. We also want to make a trip to Southern California. Maybe Legoland. Of course we will visit my sister, brother and sister in law who all live between LA and Long Beach. Then of course we hope to do Disneyland at Christmastime this year. There are also various camping trips, birthdays, etc. The calendar continues to be full which just shows us how very blessed we are to have so many wonderful people to spend our time with. So to all of you who fill our days, thank you!!
