February at the Drennan's

It has been too long since I have posted. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years were wonderful. We've had five out of our six birthday's in the past two & a half months, and we're back on track at school. We are enjoying the sunshine that we've had on several days this month, but today is cloudy & gloomy. But as Mark reminds me, we need the rain and snow.

Taylor is one and doing well on finally trying to gain weight. He has been pulling himself up onto everything and pushing laundry baskets around the house. I think walking will be coming soon. He can say mama, dada, ow(when he's hurt), nigh-nigh(night-night), moo, ba-ba(bottle). He still scoots on his bum all over which has been very enjoyable to watch.:)

Lydia is now 4 yrs old and likes to ask, "Now that I am four, I can do...". Sometimes she can do whatever, but sometimes she can't and my response is, you're not big enough yet, but she says but I'm a big girl now.:) She is so excited for preschool in the fall that she asks me nearly every day if it's almost time to go. She loves her little dance class and is excited for another recital to happen soon.

Joshua is six & a half and can't wait until he will have a loose tooth. He loves to spend all his free time with his friends. He is doing very well in school this year and has a great teacher. He loves doing anything with Mark still. His latest thing is the play "Halo" with Mark on the xbox. I'm not so sure I like that, but he enjoys the time with his Dad.

Ashlee is blossoming into a young lady. She is now nine going on 12. She loves to be involved in many activities. She is doing a musical with her school, she has piano lessons, and singing group. She love the arts. She is a very good artist too. She is always drawing. I love it. She definately didn't get that talent from me.

Mark has finished another catalog and we both managed to survive. We feel truly blessed to have a job still in this uncertain economy. We pray that others who are searching may soon find the job they need. Life is good and I'll try to update more frequently.
