Schoolhouse McCarty is in full swing in 2012 and we are having a blast! I am not saying that every day is a bowl of sunshine, but it is the most rewarding thing in the world to see Levi and Lilly soak up so much stuff! They really are little sponges! Levi is starting to read which is amazing to watch and Lilly knows more at 3 than Levi did just a year ago!
Izzy is growing so much! She is sitting up all by herself! She has started eating "real" food and loving it! It's a riot to watch her figure out how to feed herself! That concept of picking up a piece of food and putting it into her mouth and letting go of it is a hard one to figure out!
We went on our first hike with all 3 kiddos the other day. It really wasn't a hardcore hike, but we thought we'd start slow and work our way up. It's still hard to tell how far Lilly will go before getting tired. Levi hiked Harney Peak (7,244 ft) at 4 years old, but Lilly is not quite that adventurous. I think the little hike went well and we all had a good time but Lilly did need a piggy back ride by the end!
On a more serious note, I have been watching my kids today, really watching them and studying them, and have been overwhelmed at how blessed I am! I am so undeserving of such a wonderful family! I have a husband who treats me like a princess and whom I love more today than when we got married, and amazing children that I adore. Do you ever just sit and wonder why? Why me? I'm not talking about the 'why me' you ask when life is hard, but the one you ask when you are so overwhelmed by how blessed you are that it literally takes your breathe away for just a moment. I am counting my blessings today and I hope you are too!
