and we're back!

hi all! it's been sooooo long-i know-we're slackers. actually, i just now remembered my password. anyway, we're back into the swing of things. christmas was wonderful. new year's was fun. and my birthday was a bit stressful but turned out to be fantastic in the end. i guess you could say my birthday celebration finally came to an end on wednesday(my birthday is jan. 6th) when mason took me to see wicked at the pantages theatre in hollywood-can you say amazing! i absolutely loved it.
mese's back in school loving kindergarten. we signed him up for basketball-i guess we made it official by buying him some basketball shoes today-he so can't wait.
sila is in sunbeams and is loving it. it gets a bit tiring trying to keep her in her seat in primary but i have help-she is a fantastic helper/leader. and sometimes she's a little too fantastic when she tries to tell mom and dad what to do-but that's our sila girl-and yes...she has a birthday this year(sila's a leap year baby)-and she can't wait to celebrate.
nani girl is walking a marathon daily-she really is developing her own personality and it's fun to watch. she definately lets us know when she's not happy-and when she is. her vocabulary is increasing daily-new words now are moon, cookie,me,thank you, welcome, but her all time favorite word is NO. i'm not a fan myself.
mason is back in school and working hard to provide for all our luxuries(as he so puts it). he's looking to graduate in june-and we can't wait!
so there you have it-pattersons are well and can't complain!
