It's been a while since I last posted...

But that's only because the past year has been quite a blur for our family! We're all doing well, and surviving much better now that the twins are a bit older. LOL!

Here's an update on all of us:

Randy - finished his Level 3 of his Heating certification. He's now half way through his level 2, and doing well at it. He's enjoying working in the lab...oops, I mean shop (sorry honey!) and the basement still sits half done. He PROMISES that once this course is over, he'll be working hard on it.

Tristan - finished Grade 1 of French Immersion and did ok. He's worked really hard on his French this summer and has gone up two reading levels in French. His English reading is right on level, and he's looking forward to going back to school to see all of his friends. This summer, he was in soccer camp, day camps and spent a week at the cottage. For his last week of summer vacation, he and Hunter will be going back for a ton of fun at the cottage with grandma. He's also looking forward to swimming lessons and gymnastics again starting in September.

Hunter - finished Senior Kindergarten and is starting Grade 1 French Immersion in September. He did really well in Kindergarten and his English reading is already at (or above) a Grade 2 level. So we know he won't have to worry about the English portion of Grade 1...we'll see how much he likes the French. This summer he was also in day camps and spent a week at the cottage. He can't wait for Grade 1 to start - he thinks he's going to have a great time and that "it will be easy". We sure hope so Hunter!!

Zoe & Bailey - they are almost 1-1/2 years old now and are growing like weeds. Bailey is 33 lbs. and Zoe is a bit behind him at 25 lbs. They both love to 'chat' and will babble on all day long - it's too cute! They think each other is hilarious and will often do things just to get a reaction out of their twin. Oh, and they are climbers. Ugg. They will climb up EVERYTHING they can...and they are FAST! They love to run and will often take off in two different directions. It's a good thing they are cute!! And Zoe finally has enough hair now to put it up in a ponytail...which she promptly pulls out. :o)

Carol - as for me, I'm doing ok. I had a tough year going back to work in December (Randy took the last 3 months of the maternity leave off) - I had a tough grade 1 class. But I made it and I'm looking forward to September. I'm changing grades - I'll be teaching Grade 2 for the first time, and I'll be in a pod again with another teacher that I think will be fantastic to work with. And I'm working on the weight loss again. Last December, I had lost a total of 80 lbs. (40 lbs of pregnancy twin weight - and another 40 lbs. of pre-baby weight), but after going back to work, I put 10 lbs. back on. So I'm working on losing that 10 lbs. again, and I want to keep going and lose another 10 lbs. My teaching partner and I are going to get a walking routine started, so we can both lose some weight together.

See, we've been busy! I'll be back later to add some photos of everyone! (((hugs)))
