Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...

Darren and Adria,
We are so proud of you both. I know how difficult it is to go to school and work. My parents could not afford to give me a dime for college. I never regretted that fact because having 9 children I knew they couldn’t afford it. My mom didn’t start working until I was 18, even then, it wasn’t enough to pay for college for any of my siblings. I wouldn’t trade a college education for the relationships I have with my brothers and sisters. I do know though that a college degree opens a lot more doors and we are so proud of you both for sticking with it.
We look forward to seeing you in June. I know that you will be very busy and we’ll cherish the time we will spend together. I wish we could do more as parents but we chose to have 7 children and keep mom at home. Of this decision, I will never regret.
Love,
Dad
