And We Are Back!

I know it has been a minute or two since I have last updated my blog so where do I begin? Our eldest daughter is about ready to graduate from Kindergarten! I can not believe that much time has already gone by. It truly seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital and she was just my itty-bitty bird. I can't believe that soon I will have a 1st graders.....crazy!! It has been absolutely an amazing journey to watch Ava grow and learn. She is the most kind, beautiful, and gentle little girl; she reminds me of a peaceful hippie. She is in love with mother nature and dogs! Most of the days she pretends she is a dog......when do we give in and get the kiddo a dog??? That is the big question. She has such a beautiful soul, a heart of gold and loves her family deeply. 
Our little Lauren still has a few more years until she is off to Kindergarten....thankfully. I don't know what I will do when they both are in school :-(  Lauren attends the most amazing pre-school. She loves the fact that two days a weeks for 2.5 hours she gets to go to BIG KID school! Lauren has a beautiful soul as well! She is very inquisitive and loves to make people laugh. She has a smile that radiates and a heart of gold that will make you melt. I love watching the world through their eyes.
I love, love, love, the fact that I am able to stay home and raise my children. It is only for such a short time in life that they are little and I am loving every moment of it.
Who would have ever thought that the Wolin's would have ever relocated the family to a little town called Olympia. It has been slightly over a year that we have lived here and truthfully we are loving it. I miss being a few minutes from mom and dad, the siblings, certain nightlife and restaurants but Oly is a great place to raise children.  Eric continues to love his job and he is doing amazing work. I am so proud of him. Life is good!
