I took this video of Baden three years ago. I thought he was so grown up at the time, but now as I watch it I am overwhelmed at how fast time goes by. The last few days I've had the Charles Dickens quote on my mind "I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach." Thank you Baden for being my first, for being patient with me while I learn how to be your mom, and for teaching me to live and love with enthusiasm. I love you!

Jeremy was the soccer coach for my boy's team this fall. It was a lot of fun, and we had a great team with fun kids. These are some clips of my boys:

When Baden plays soccer he pretends to be Anakin Skywalker and he's flying in a starship. If you watch, you can tell.

Gavin is 4. We have found with our kids that at age 4, soccer is all about exposure : )

Seriously, this is how she moves around!
