Long Overdue Update!

Its been awhile since I blogged. I am not sure I have ever gone this long!! 

Of course, a lot has happened in the past 2 1/2 months. We had a great Christmas and New Years. Carter is finally completely potty trained...its been a few months since he had an accident. He also recently finished a "Children's Day Out" program at the YMCA where he got to be with other kids his age, do art projects, swim, etc. He really enjoyed it and will begin swimming lessons next week. He is such a cool kid...he makes me laugh and is the most affectionate child in the whole world. He is full of kisses and love all of the time. 

Is he not the coolest?!


Brooklyn won her 2nd pageant last month. This past weekend, we travelled from Ohio to New York so she could participate in a larger one, called the "Enchanted Fairytale Pageant". There were 3 modeling categories: "Beauty", "Outfit of Choice", and "Fairytale Wear". We also entered her in the Photogenic and Composite categories. She did an awesome job! At the end of the day, she won "Fairytale Wear", "Most Photogenic", and was crowned Queen of her division! We are very proud of her!

She was so exhausted that she slept through crowning!
This was the first picture we got with her and her winnings.

Here is some of the video footage of Brooklyn as well as some 
snippets of the other girls in her age division...

Steven and I are doing great. We are still trying to sell our house in hopes of moving back to New York, but so far we haven't seen much action. We are definitely praying and just trying to leave it all up to God. That always seems to work for us!

I will definitely try to keep up with blogging a little bit better than I have been. Keeping up with the husband, house, and kids can be a little bit crazy...but I wouldn't want it any other way!!!
