Making Up for Lost Time

Lately all I do on the computer is create a school yearbook and do writing for my Master's project. Now that I can check off the yearbook from my list, I will try to be creative and make up for no posts during January, February, and March! I say it every year, but these months go faster than any other for me - after Christmas, I blink my eyes a few times and it is Spring break!

My girls are changing like the season...Abigail is smart, creative, and full of ideas and energy. She is working hard on her swim strokes - she has mastered the side breath and is working on dives with dreams of being on a swim team this summer. Lilly is full of personality and constantly makes us smile. She is our musical child and is often singing or humming and dancing. If we need to cheer up, Lilly is always there with some funny facial expression or to sing Taylor Swift's "You Belong to Me". There are not many quiet moments in the Hicks household. We love our girls so much - and try to remember it during their stubborn, naughty moments.

Jeff is about to embark on the task of planting our garden. Now that we are in our own house, he has big ambitions. I will make sure to record it with before and after pictures. He loves to plant and tend the garden...I just love picking the vegetables in the summer.

Spring break has definately given me a taste of summer...I love the lazy mornings and activities with the girls....even the housework is fun at first. Maybe I'll go blink my eyes several times in a row and it will magically be summer vacation!
