Has it really been that long??

   I can't believe it has actually been over a month since I have posted anything. I am going to use the excuse that I am crazy busy, and that's not just an excuse. It's really, honestly the truth! We are in complete renovation mode at the daycare. Have been since the beginning of December. We are finally seeing things that resemble walls going up, and its making a big difference. I can SEE it now. Every door, every space defined! It is SO exciting.
   Dad and Onye have been working on the plumbing and electric, and over the past weekend had a special helper. Elijah has found a new area of expertise! He went under the house to help Poppy pull the old pipes out to get ready for the new!! He absolutely loved it, and Dad said that Eli was way faster at it that he would have been. Ahhh, Making memories ;)
   I was reading my last post and wanted to mention that we decided to change the name. Instead of Kids & Co. we are now calling it Ready, Set, Grow. We finally have a logo to go with our name as well. IT'S AWESOME!! I know its been a lot of hard work, but it will be fantastic to see it completed. Things are coming together, and all in God's timing. (He has every little detail already planned out, you know!)

  Another thing that has kept us going strong over the past few weeks is basketball. Shaylin is playing again this year and she is loving it. She is much better this year as well. There is only one word to describe her progress. . . AGGRESSIVE!! She has definitely become more aggressive on the court. Stealing the ball, rebounding offensively and defensively, and shooting when she has the chance. (Not to mention she is making a lot of her shots!) I was even approached, by one of the coaches, this past weekend to discuss a traveling team. Not sure how I feel about that yet, but I'm glad she is having fun for now at least!! 

   Other than that. . . both kids are doing excellent in school and Chris and I couldn't be happier with them!
