2 years

It always happens. I have every intention of being on top of this thing, and I drop it. It's been 2 years! What has changed?

Firstly we're now a family of 8. Meet Flynn:

He joined us just this September, and we're smitten.

Gyven is 12, and an avid reader and storyteller. He loves writing his stories down and creating elaborate worlds to play in.
Kyra is 11, and also enjoys reading, as well as building elaborate LEGO cities. She also is very much a doting big sister to all her little brothers.
Sidney is 8, and is currently big into LEGO and building with other materials. He is often found using objects not intended for building to make structures and designs.
Nevyn, 6, likes LEGO, too (we're clearly big into LEGO around here), Ninja Turtles and Ninjago and basically if it's a ninja, he's cool with it.
Efrym, now 3, is into Batman, anything his big siblings are into, cars and duplos and his baby brother.

Patrick is still working in the wind power industry, managing site service (keeping the turbines up and running and in good repair). I'm still a stay at home mom, teaching our children at home and doing what I can to keep our very busy house running! Maybe if we're lucky, I'll be back to update again before it's been another 2 years...
