It's been a while

This post is prompted by my Dad. He misses the blog and so do I.
Quick recap of the year...
I changed my role at work, twice
Mark got a job in December 2010
Kids started school and really enjoy it
So the kids have been in school for 7 months now. It was a rough start being sick so much, but (knock on wood) they have been pretty good for a while. We've just had bouts of pink eyes, colds and scarlet fever, yeah apparently it still exists.
Two weeks before the kids' birthday Maria wrote her name for the first time. I placed in on the fridge. Mark followed soon after. He was hesitant to do his school work. Yes, they had homework during the school year once a week. Now, he enjoys doing it and LOVES to learn. He asks tons of questions. I mean, a billion questions a day. Maria loves to play teacher and "reads" her books to her imaginary students. Many times, it's in front of our bedroom mirror.
These kids have grown up so much over the past year it's scary. They LOVE each other immensily b/c I see how much they enjoy each other's company. They play pirates and princesses, cops and robbers, robots, dancers...you name it, they love it. Their imagination is awesome.
It's late.
I should go to bed.
I love you, Mom. I hope you get better soon. You have to teach me how to make your spagetti sauce.
I love you, Dad. Thanks for pushing MOI :o) to post.
Hopefully I can make it a weekly event.
Good-night.
