The boys have been in South Dakota for 13 days now and I miss them terribly! Seven more days till I get to see them again.....I know they enjoy going but I sure do miss them being gone for that many days!! Chandler stills looks around the house for them everyday; poor little guy doesn't understand where his brothers have gone.

February

Wow, what a busy month. The boys finished basketball and we headed out on vacation. Michael and I surprised Chase and Chance by letting them miss school and go to Florida with us. I am so glad that we did; they had a blast. Chase went to all the races with Michael in Daytona and Chance, Chandler and myself went shopping and played at the beach. We squeezed a couple days at Disney in while we were there and that is always a plus!! The weather was perfect while we were in FL. We left Nashville with snow on the ground and was able to wear shorts, go to the water parks, go swimming, etc... while in FL. Funny being on vacation this year with three little boys when last year it was just Michael and myself. I truly enjoyed having my boys with me. We were able to do so many extra little things with them like trips to the beach, a couple trips to Disney----I sometimes wonder if they know how lucky they are. I hope they don't take it for granted and become ungrateful. So far they haven't and hope it stays that way.

Spent the day at the local YMCA watching Chase & Chance play basketball. They both seem to really enjoy it!!

Wow! Time flies by so quickly you often wonder where it has gone. Seems like just yesterday Chase was a baby and now he is eleven and Chance is already eight. Hopefully, we will slow down a little bit and enjoy each moment of their lives more. I know I already see a difference with Chandler because I don't want to rush him into all of his "firsts" like I was so eager to see the others do. Time just goes to quickly for that and I want to enjoy all 3 of my boys for as long as I can and I hope you will be able to also!!!
