Well it has been too long since I posted. I am going to try to post a little more often. This sweet little love bug came into our lives August 17th. Madeline Joy Grable has brought so much joy to our house. Her brothers love her and are very sweet with her. Even Tanner hasn't had a hard time with her. She is as sweet as she is cute. Four kids has been quite a challenge in our house. Jeff is in his last semester at APU and will finish his Master's degree in Music Education in May. WOOHOOO!! He has worked very hard for 3 years to finish. We will all be glad when he is done. With Jeff being gone for school, Tanner turning 2 and all that goes with that fun stage, 2 kiddos in school and teaching a baby to sleep through the night this mommy is worn out. I have learned to let go of my house a little more and rely on God's wisdom and strength like never before (accept maybe my first year of teaching). Cadyn is in 2nd grade and still loves to read and learn about whatever he can get his hands on. He had a speaking part and solo in the Christmas musical this year. He loves the stage like someone else in our house. He is always up for trying something new and loves life. Griffin started Kindergarten this year and loves it. He has Mrs. Morehart who was Cadyn's teaching the last two years. Griffin took the honors of being the first broken bone in our house. He broke his collarbone on the slip and slide this fall. He healed up just fine and was able to finish out his first soccer season. Both the boys are in Awana's and are looking forward to baseball season starting soon. Griffin had a big year this year he learned to ride a bike, read, and swim. Tanner is 2 1/2 and a total crack up. He talks a ton and potty trained himself. I have heard people say that before and I thought no way but he did it even through the night. Great gift to his mommy! Tanner loves his little sister and wants to hold her lots. He also learned to swim this summer our youngest yet. I am still involved with Mom to Mom in a little different role. I am coaching the two leaders. I really enjoy it and have had the chance to see some ways God has matured me over the years as I mentor them. I spend lots of time trying to organize meals, laundry and homework. Being a mom of 4 has been a challenge with lots of sweet joy in the middle. Looking forward to keeping better track of our journey here.
