Where did the time go?

Well, here it is February and I haven't written in quite a while!!  Life has been very busy (as usual).  Dalton recently made the 8th grade basketball team.  He loves it.  One game last week he drained 5 three-pointers and had a ton of rebounds.  He is quite the scrapper.  Elias got his drivers license this week.  Boy, it is a strange feeling to know that I have a child old enough to drive!  But, it is handy.  He has picked up his brother from practice, gone to the store for me and taken himself to his friend's house.  THAT is awesome!! Megan is counting down until she goes into young women's in April.  Her friend just turned 12 and is already going, Megan is so bummed.  Shawn and I went out for Valentines last night and we were realizing that next school year we will have no children in elementary school!  And, if Megan moves out after high school, we have six years until we are empty nesters.  That seems so unbelievable. I just have to say that I have the best kids on the planet.  They are really good kids who try to do what is right.  They are getting along so well right now and it make Shawn and I so pleased to watch them talking and playing together.  I am such a blessed person.  I don't know what I have done to deserve the blessings I have in my life but, I will be forever grateful and continue to thank God each day for His love and mercy in my life.
