Ok...I fell way behind on posting!

Ack, can't believe I haven't posted anything since July of last year!  So much has happened since!  I'll try to update as much as possible....mostly with pics as usual.  Since last posting Liam and Kaleigh both have had birthdays!  Liam is now almost 2 1/2 to be exact and Kaleigh just celebrated her 4th birthday.  They have grown so much and it is hard to believe they are this old!  Kaleigh started school in August at Morningside CWE in Bainbridge.  She LOVES it and loves her teacher Emily.  It is a hands on school which is awesome at her age.  She is there M-F 8:30-12.  She now knows how to write her name and anything else that I spell out for her.  I guess I would say that her favorite activity is riding her bike.  She'd stay on it 24/7 if she could.  She also loves cartoons.  Her punishment is always taking one or the other away.  She can't stand it!  She is now registered for PreK starting in August at West Bainbridge Elementary School.  I wasn't to happy about the location because it is way out but it is a nice new school.  I had her put on a wait list for Elcan King but won't know anything until May.  It is closer to us and as everyone knows, we are NEVER on time for anything.  Going to be tough having to have her there before 8!  Friends....she has made alot of new friends at school and had one of her best friends, Quinny, move away.  We were so sad but know we'll see her soon, we hope!  Liam is nonstop.  He has learned SO much WAY to much from Kaleigh!  They LOVE each other but fuss like cats and dogs!  Guess that builds the love!  He is all boy to say the least.  He is a sweetie but can be a handful as he is at his "terrible 2" stage.  He love the outdoors and LOVES his tractor that Santa brought him.  He loves cars, trains, tractors and anything that makes noise.  He is so into pretend play and copies everything he sees.  He asks all the time if he can go to school with Kaleigh.  He is probably going to be the one to give me a fit since he wants to go so bad now!  He's not potty trained but doesn't mind at all pulling off his clothes and diaper and "pretending" to go potty.  We are going to get him started as soon as it gets warmer weather.  Crazy as it sounds, it worked with Kaleigh, so he'll probably run around most of the Summer naked....around the house that is!  He had his check up at 2 yrs old and the dr said he is doing great.  Said he was doing better than expected for his age.....talking and such.  As far as family goes, we are doing good.  Billy's mom (Syble) passed away Jan 16.  It was expected but unexpected....she started having surgeries around Aug 2011.  She had a pace maker because she needed another surgery but her heart was only functioning 20%.  She went in to have another surgery (can't remember the exact name) but she had crohns disease and had to have a bag on her small intestines because she'd had so many surgeries and had no large intestine and she was having alot of trouble.  All was good and then all went wrong.  Dr thought she had a blockage so he went back in to find out it was only an organ over her intestine.  She never recovered fully from that surgery.  Her kidneys began to shut down so after Christmas she can home (stayed with Billy's brother Tom...Emily his wife is an RN) and she was there until she passed.  It was a rough holiday season for us and been a tough year so far.  My friend Mesa had to take her dad(Doodah) to the dr a few days after my MIL passed and found out that he had cancer.  It was a total shock!  He passed on Feb 4th.  They will be greatly missed!  Everyone else is doing okay, I think haha! Been so long since my last post so I hope this is a good LONG enough update on our life.
