Well, Karen Hoff and Chandra have motivated me to get back to writing and posting on my blog. It has been over a year since my last post.
Karina is now 4 and Cooper 3. They both have grown so much since the last posts in our blog. Some things have stayed the same over the past year.... Cooper fighting sleep at night, the two of them getting into EVERYTHING, Cooper's curiosity, Karina's singing, our excitement when family comes to visit, Jason working outrageous hours, Kids waking up at 5:30 am, Kirstin trying to stay sane, Karina's love for books, Cooper being scared of monsters.
But many things have changed...We got a dog from the Pound-Rocky, Mommy turned 4o, Cooper is now talking up a storm, Cooper being ver affectionate, Karina's maturity level, their love to travel especially to the beach and Uncle Mikes, their creativity, love to color, ability to swim and loving diving to the bottom of the pool, Cooper's passion for ropes and tying knots. Many more things that I just can't remember.
Some of the funny things said over the year...
"oooooohhh....Mommy, you look like a mermaid" Cooper
"If you close my door, I will find a way out because I am a Three Muskateer" Cooper
"Mommy, why do I have brown skin and yours is grey?" Karina
"Mommy, do you like me?" Karina
"Why did baby Jesus have to sleep in the hay with all of the germs" Karina
"mommy, I like girls" Cooper
"Look-the fish are dead just like hoops is dead" Cooper at Costco
"daddy needs a new bed b/c Cooper keeps getting in yours at night" Karina
"Mommy, you are my sweet girl." Cooper
"mommy, Rocky's pee-pee is hiding" Karina
"That water is spicy like pepperoni" Cooper while crying after he got into jellyfish at the beach
"Am I going to grow big like Spiderman" Karina
"mommy, is that a train track on your back" Cooper (it was the lines from my sports bra)
"You are my favorite" Cooper
"we don't learn about God at school, we just sing songs about him" Cooper and Karina
"when you and daddy go to dinner, are you going to talk about tennis" Cooper as we were leaving for a "date"
I am so excited about this! I really feel like it is the little things that get you to really know someone. Even though we are far away and see you so seldom I really adore you and the kids and look forward to just being able to check in with you here.
