So Proud of My Family

I cannot express enough how proud I am my family. I love them dearly and lately I've been beaming with pride all because of them.

In January, Mark celebrated 10 years working with GM. He's had his ups and downs with the company, but he's persevered and has come a long way in those short years. He had goals in place and met those goals. It took hard work and he had to overcome some obstacles, but he did it. Now Mark is making new goals and I am sure he will achieve those as well. I am proud to be his wife of (almost) 9 years.

Morgan has been quite the helper lately. At first I thought she just wanted something and was doing extra work around the house to pave the way. But this helpful trend is still going strong. Last week she chose a meal for us to have for dinner and helped prepare every dish. She even took out the garbage. All the way outside! She has been pretty patient with Molly lately too. Out little girl is growing up!

Molly is pretty much done with potty training (except at night). It seems like one day she decided she was a big girl and that was it! We've had several outings and she is able to stay dry. I am so happy this finally clicked with her. She is doing great in school and I am happy to see how much she enjoys it. Our little girl is almost 3 and she is looking forward to her first real party next weekend.

Yesterday the girls and I dropped Mark off at the airport. He will be in Australia this week for business. After saying our goodbyes the girls and I went ice skating and sledding with the American Women's Club. Once again I was so proud of our girls for trying something new.

Morgan was nervous, but did great. Molly was so excited and could hardly contain herself. I held her up as we skated around the ice. She kept screaming out "Look at me Go! Go! Go!" At 7 pm I had to drag the girls inside to eat some dinner. But it didn't take long and they were back out for more. It was a beautiful night and we had a blast. We only wish that Mark was with us for this fun experience. I'm sure we'll be back and hopefully he can join us!

Here are some pictures of our fun evening:

Molly sledding
She went 1 time and that was enough for her. Too fast!
I did manage to get her to go down with me a couple of times.
