This is our story from the beginning.

Once upon a time there was a girl and a boy and they really liked each other. Therefore, they got married. The two of them lived in Pennsylvania for a while when their little family of two turned into a little family of three. The most adorable little girl was born and they named her Sydney.

As time went on, the boy, who had become a man, progressed in his job and was promoted. The little family moved to Indiana, where they then had another little precious girl. They named her Haylie. As before, the man was promoted and the family moved yet again. This time to Waterloo, Iowa, where they currently reside. It seems that is has become tradition that the couple has a baby in each city they live in, so they did. Tuione was born into the not so little family.

One year later;

It is now a year from the day our son was born. Sydney is in the first grade, and loving it. She is quite inquisitive and a quick learner. She loves to read and sing and she can make her brother laugh like no one else. Haylie is not in preschool, due to her birthday missing the cut off for preschool by two weeks. She is however attending a " Momschool" which some other moms and I teach twice a week. She has made new friends ( one of which is a boy she is claiming to be her future husband), and is eager to learn. She is very abstract in her art, quite colorful, but no boundaries or rules. Lets hope the rest of her life does not follow suit. As for Tui, as wee like to call him, he is not quite walking unassisted yet, but is strong and takes after his daddy. He has the most contagious laugh and is a joy to be around.
