Well it has been to long again. I think this is my first post for the new year! The business has been booming and that is why it has taken me so long to post. Oh and the fact that I have a one year old and a three year old! Maya and Lindsey are both doing great. We are waiting and hoping for spring to come soon but until then we have been keeping busy.
Maya is picking up her letters better each day. She is now starting to write words. She loves to write her name and the word no. She also will try and read the words by sounding them out! We are debating on putting her in preschool this next year. We have her in dance class one day a week. She loves this class and looks forward to it every week. She has her first recital in May and she can't wait. We have thought about starting her on some sort of instrument, maybe violin, I think her fingers are not big enough for piano yet. If we decide to do that we will probably keep her out of preschool. We have heard that the preschool hear does not focus as much on academic as social. I can work with her at home on the academic and we have a lot of social engagements every week so we will see.
Lindsey is growing so much and talking so much. She is now trying to clear up the words that she already knows. Her motor skills amaze me. She is opening things and closing things now that Maya can't even do! She is such a funny little girl and makes us laugh everyday! We can't wait until she gets her full voice. She also has a temper and has already started throwing things and tantrums. She will be my child who lays down in the middle of a store and screams bloody murder. I just can't wait for that day.
We are all doing great here, we had a busy couple months with my sisters surgery, some sickness and the business. Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Maya playing with her friend Olivia, they are the same age and love being girls together.

Lindsey learning how to get in the bath tub all by herself, she also has to get herself dressed every morning or we have a melt down.

These are for my friend Maureen, Maya took the next two pictures all by herself. She loves taking pictures and she is pretty good at it!
