Where have we been?

I know...Did we fall off the planet? I am sorry I have not posted in a few months. We have been so busy! I started a new job. I'm now a clinical coordinator. I still work on the OB unit. But I am basically the nurse educator for Labor and Delivery, Nursery and NICU! Quite a change! First, it is day shift. Second, as Madlyn says, I "have an office?" And alot more responsibility! I am enjoying it! But it is alot different and I am still getting used to it! Jeremy played baseball this summer on a men's team. They did pretty well. He pitched alot and played catcher. Not too bad for an old man! Jeremy has started another year teaching! I think he is really excited to get back to it! Madlyn started 4th grade and so far loves it! Emily started Kindergarten on Thursday! She is 'feeling very old". I will post pictures soon. Don't tell her...but we have a bet in our families of how long it will take before we get a call that she has gone to the Principal's office. As our pediatrician put it best...The question is not whether Emily is ready for Kindergarten...it is whether Kindergarten is ready for Emily! Isabelle continues to be the happiest baby. We are so lucky! She is very rarely crying and mostly just smiles and laughs. She is mobile and has been for some time now. She is not quite walking on her own, but she crawls and walks holding onto something. We all think it is because she has to keep up with her sisters. Not an easy feat if you ask me! Madlyn continues with gymnastics and soccer. Mom has her in handbells at church now too. Emily quit gymnastics this year. She says it is "not for her". She has been begging to take dance...we'll see. Madlyn got braces this month. I think she looks great! She is doing pretty well with them too. Hopefully she will only need them for about a year. Well I guess that is it in a nutshell. I will try and post some pictures soon. I hope everyone is doing well.

Love, Sarah
