My life has been a whirlwind as of late. I have not posted to much in a while but have had a lot going on both at home and work. So below is a brief update...
Cathy- So much to say, her basketball team went undefeated on the season and through the playoffs(two seasons in a row now) and won their division championship. She is doing wonderfully at school and is being inducted into the Middle School Honor Society this Thursday. She has a big decision coming up soon as both soccer and softball are in the spring, and in middle school she is only allowed to play one or the other so she will have to choose as tryouts begin in a week or two.... As always she is a wonderful help to me where Kendall is concerned, she makes me proud everyday to be her mother.
Colin- He just lost another tooth, he now has lost both front top teeth, so he has a really cute smile at the moment ;) He is doing awesome riding his new bike that he got from Santa. That is the one thing I admire most about my son. He does not give up, he will keep trying until he gets it and not only until he gets it, but until he perfects it. He is doing so good at school as well and is still and I think always will be mama's boy.
Cody- Hmm, what new and exciting can I tell you about Cody? He is growing up so fast sometimes we forget that he is only 4 years old. He is doing really well with his writing and he loves to go to school and play with his best friend Evan. Cody is definitely the most stubborn Willoughby, but that can be a good thing, I don't have to worry about anyone pushing him around or making him do something he doesn't want to. He is very protective of his baby sister and she lights up whenever he plays with her.
Kendall- OMG, can you believe she is almost ten months old? I cant. She is very mobile now and she gets into everything. Last week she began pulling herself up and this morning I watched in awe as she held onto the side of Cody's bed and walked down the side to the toy she wanted. It wont be too long before she lets go and then the chasing will really begin. We have had a lot of trouble with her ears since we began daycare, I am praying that it will improve soon. All three of the older children ended up with ear tubes, but I would like to avoid that if we can.
Michael- Is doing well. He is looking forward to the spring and warmer weather. The yard at our new house is not near in the shape of our old lawn, so he is on a mission to get it there. The part of that he is not looking forward to is there is no sprinkler system here so we have to water with the hose which means going out and moving it every 15 minutes or so. Colin is going to play baseball for the first time this spring, so he is excited about working with him on that. Anything he can do active with the kids he enjoys.
Me- I am well. I believe the sickness the plagued or house over November, December and even into January has now passed. I had a wonderful birthday, my parents threw me a little party over the past weekend, complete with cake and presents which was really nice, and my mother in-law made me my favorite dinner and white chocolate cheesecake. I am really busy and backed up at work, but being busy is better than the opposite so I can take that. And at home, well you can imagine how busy I am once I get home from work, somebody always needs me for something and there is always something to do, but I love it, I mean I cant imagine what it will be like when they are all grown up and out of the house....
