Where has the time gone?

I cannot believe how quickly time has gone by! Julia is 11 months old and the boys just finished Kindergarten! Julia is growing so fast- she will be 1 yr in just 2 weeks! She is such a happy little girl and so much fun! She adores T and C and they can get her to have the best baby belly laughs! She loves to climb the stairs and crawl all over the place. She is getting closer to walking, she just needs to build up her confidence. She also surprised us one day when she signed "more" when we were feeding her noodles. She is such a good eater and one of her favorites is broccoli. So far we have kept her away from dairy and meat so I guess you could say she is vegan. I know I will probably jinx it, but I swear by it- she has has only been sick a few times and no ear infections like the boys had so many of! Here are some of my favorite pics of her from Jan.-June :








We are so proud of Tyler and Chase and how much they learned this year! They are reading and did really well on their end of the year tests!They both won awards too, Tyler-Most Cooperative and Chase-True Friend. They have asked to be in separate classes next year which will be more work for us but I think will be good for them. We'll give it a go and see what happens :) Look at the Kindergarten before/after pics of them (Chase-L) and (Tyler-R) - you can really see a difference in their faces!



I also went back to work on May 18 and life has been pretty hectic! I am working as a consultant for a company called Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) . They are an amazing organization and do such great work. I am learning so much about Nutrition, especially child nutrition, and ways we can improve the health of children in our country. This has always been a passion for me and I am so thankful to have found this opportunity (or did it find me?!).

Scott has also been busy with work at his company InfoReliance and just helped them implement a Help Desk (in a short six month time)! The boys will be busy at camps this summer and hanging out with Julia at Grandpa and Grandma G. 's house since I have to go up to NOVA once a week (the rest of the time I can work from home!). I know there is a lot more to catch up on but I'll save it for another post. Good Night!
