Time has gotten away

I would apologize for my lack of keeping up with our blog however we had a glitch in the blogging system and much of my energy goes into my family so it's hard to apologize for that.  Life with an active kindergartner with a soccer schedule and a baby girl in gymnastics keeps our lives going from start of day to end.  Chad had the privilege of coaching Ty's soccer team, they had such a great season the parents of all the other kids on the team have asked to stay together and keep Chad on as coach.  It was Chad's first coaching experience and he did amazing.  Ty absolutely loved soccer and is becoming quite the soccer player.  We have practice games in our back yard and he just loves when it's daddy and Ty verses mommy.  Aidan is showing some real skill in soccer as well, she uses the time while watching Ty's practice and games to work on her dribbling.  We can already tell she is going to keep us hopping with all her activities.  She adored gymnastics and was so sad when it was over.  Ty and Aidan both are ready to start up soccer and gymnastics again in the spring.  I have also been blessed with the ability to volunteer quite a bit at Ty's school.  He has such a sweet class and not only learning a lot in the class but making such precious friendships.  He is reading all the time, and really excelling in all his areas of learning.  We were so proud of him at our first parent teacher conference they bragged on him and informed us that he scored the highest he could in many categories that are not expected for high scores in a kindergartner.  He is a proud big brother and has been helping teach Aidan sight words in which she now can read several on her own.  We were able to spend the entire Thanksgiving in Florida with family, and now are looking forward to a long week and a half spending some time with Chad's family and a few surprises we have in store for just Ty and Aidan.  Christmas time has brought lots of talk with Ty and Aidan regarding families that are in need so they have gotten a list of a family that is in need now and tomorrow morning we are going out as a family to buy presents for them.  It is heartwarming to see how excited Ty is to buy presents for these children he has never met.  We then are planning our annual candy making together to take to friends around town.  Aidan can hardly wait to help deliver the goodies.  We are blessed beyond words with our babies and their big hearts.  We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and an blessed new year!

Love to all, Chad, Becca, Ty and Aidan
