We don't really have a lot going on right now. I feel my lack of blogging and it bugs me. I want to remember even the most minute detail of my life for always, yet lack the drive to put it in writing. I thought I would do a little Family Update post, just to fill my blogging void.

Darren is working and working hard at Fidelity. His shift changed this year and it's not the greatest shift, but we're one week in and it seems to be going fine. He works Sunday, but gets 4 hours off to come to church with us. The good news of the shift is he gets Thurs, Fri and Saturday off. Nice to have all 3 days off at once. It's been so good to have Darren home in the evenings with us. I'm loving watching and hearing Judson playing with his dad. The other night Darren took Judson to bed and Judson requested the song I Am A Child of God (all 4 verses, of course), I loved just listening to the two of them singing. Judson loves his Dad and Darren loves being a dad. I love them both so much and am so grateful for both of them!

Judson is loving Preschool. He loves the activities and the social aspect of it. I'm so happy he goes willingly and reports that he had a fun time when it's done. He loves to learn and will ask questions about what he has learned. He's so smart, and I love it! I need to be better with him having him work on letters and sounds at home. I'm sure he'd love it, I just don't get around to it. He loves going to the library and picking out books to bring home and read.
He loves, loves his superheroes and I often have to cut off the talking about superheroes or he would go on and on forever. It's so fun to watch him develop different likes and dislikes. I'll ask him why he likes or doesn't like something and his answer is always "because". Not really an answer, but I'll get him to expand on that soon enough.
The other little thing he has started doing lately is trying to tell when something is a joke and when it's not. He'll often ask "are you just kidding?" Most of the time we are, but I can tell sometimes he's hopeful that he doesn't have to clean up or go to bed so he'll ask. Funny kid!!! I love him to pieces!!

As for my update it's pretty boring. I'm still working at Roseman, the Pharmacy/Dental/Nursing University, in the finance department part-time. I really enjoy going to work each day, but I'm glad it's only for 4 hours. I'm focused on budgeting this year and making better choices all around. I know those goals are so general, but I really need the broadness to help me focus. Contradiction, right? I think it will help, just the same.

I'm excited for 2012 and the new opportunities it will bring. Judson will turn 5 and start Kindergarten. That is our big event for this year. I hope it's the only big event, but we'll see.

Happy 2012 to all of you!!!

Just for fun enjoy this picture of Judson at our favorite place to eat out. Chick-Fil-A.

That's so nice that Darren has all those days off in a row! And you can't say that Judson will be turning 5 this year, he just turned 4! Let's focus on that.
I love the update on the updated blog. The last picture of Judson is so cute! I love his big grin. That is a good schedule for Darren. How nice that he can take the hours off to come to church. It will be a great year!
