THINK - What does it mean???

T - True

H - Helpful

I - Important

N - Necessary

K - Kind



Kind of our family motto and how we (try to ) live. So, as we have had this blog since July and have yet to REALLY post anything substantial, I will try to give a quick overview on what is up with our family.



Brad and Michelle - chugging along day by day and trying to figure out how to be best friends and partners and parents to 3 children under 5. Brad works for ATC.com (Manager of work force mgmt. team and analysis and reporting team) and Michelle is a part-time veterinarian for a small animal clinic.



Ryder - 5 next month and full of energy! He is doing pretty well in his T-K class at school (a ramped up version of pre-k for young 5's) and loves Transformers, Hot Wheels and Power Rangers. We are sure ly but slowly outgrowing an obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine. I think we might actually have a different birthday party theme this year!!



Jonah - 4 in June and so much fun! Loves to run and jump and play and is excellent at computer games and puzzles, mazes and I-spy books. He is also in Pre-K this year and enjoys school so much. We are reading chapter books in bed at night and trying mightily to keep this one in his own bed all night.




Everett - 11 months old - the perfect combo of sassy and sweet! She has a 1-word vocabulary (CAT) and is very mobile - not at all surprising to find her at the top of the stairs. Everett is flirtatious and loves everyone unless they are trying to comb her hair!
As for the rest - well, we have several pets - Nate, Garbo, Gertrude, Horton and Deano. 2 dogs, 3 cats. The furries are ok - we are all adjusting to Deano (more about him later) and Nate is doing well also for those who know his story (another post entirely).
Here is my pledge - to update the blog weekly and let you all know what we're up to . It's up to you all to keep me honest!!
Love to all! M
