So I guess I have to keep up with all of our family and start blogging. I will try and update it when I have the time, so you had better remind me often! I can't remember half of what I need to these days so I'll try to keep at it.
3 of our 4 kids are back in school after what seemed like a long Christmas break. We had a lot of fun but it is nice to be back to our regular schedule. Laurel and I spend our mornings at the shop. (Flower shop, that is.) We work until 11:30 and pick up Joel at school, then depending on how busy the shop is we either go home or back to work. Much to Joel's dismay. Unlike Laurel he isn't to content there. But he is a good sport.
Taylor & Sydney are great scholars these days. They are flourishing at school and love it, well Sydney loves it anyway. She is at the top of her class and her teacher told us at her last conference that she is her best student! She is an avid piano player, about 4 months ago she came home from church, sat down at the piano and started hitting keys and in about 30 minutes could play "The Lord Has Blessed Me" a new song in primary. We just kind of stared at her and listened to her play the same song for about a month. Then she came home from school and plunked out "My Country Tis' of Thee". A friend heard her play and knew she had real talent and now gives her piano lessons with the help of her son who also plays by ear. So with their combined efforts she has all but mastered the piano, well not exactly mastered but she has quite a repertoire going and it grows everyday.
Taylor continues to breeze through everything that is put in front of him and his teacher has to work hard to keep him busy. I think she is running out of ideas to keep him occupied. I think he likes school deep down, although he would never admit it. He is my techno nerd, loves anything that has a current running through it. Especially the Wii he's grandpa and grandma gave us. He's looking forward to baseball this summer, I can't say that I am looking forward to spending all day at the baseball park but at least it will be warm! Love to you all and write soon!

Yeah! I am so excited to that you started the blog! We have one with the Cotters and we love it, although, I'm with ya- finding time to update it is a pain. Ours (mine and Blaine's) is still in the process, so you'll also have to check it often to see when I actually update it.
Love you guys!
