Helloooooo There!!
Wow...does the time fly!!! I can't believe it has been almost a year since our last post. So much has happened since then. Where do I start.....
Well, we sold our house....thankfully pretty quickly......and bought a new one. In the process we stayed at Jarid's Dads' Collinsville house. We weren't there for too long though and moved into our new house the weekend before Addy's 4th birthday. Yes, that's right....she is now 4!! We've also celebrated Ayden's 1st birthday, our 6th Wedding Anniversary, and our first Halloween in our new house. Jarid added a post below of some painting we just finished. Now onto the Winter Holidays. We are looking forward to seeing family and watching the kids have fun on Christmas.
The kids?? Well, as I mentioned Addy is now the big 4 1/2 and Ayden is 16 months!! They have started a new Daycare/Preschool and they both love it. The best part is.....it's two houses down from us. Addy is doing really well with her writing and Ayden is starting to expand his vocabulary.......Da Da, Ma ma, and dat.......LOL!! I don't think he's in a hurry to start talking. Walking and running, on the other hand, he didn't wait too long for.....he keeps up with Addy pretty well. It's so much fun to watch the two of them play. Addy is so good with Ayden, helping him when he needs help and entertaining him. She's the best big sister!! She can write her name now, all by herself...and anyone else's name with help on the spelling. She's still favoring that left hand......for all you left handed relatives.....haha!! Her teacher says that she's never seen a child so equally talented using either hand.
As far as Jarid and I, we are doing well. I started a new team at work and LOVE it!!! Sadie is doing well too. We are looking forward to the Holidays.
Here are some recent pictures of the kids. I promise not to be such a stranger from now on.
Enjoy-
Shannon and Jarid

Addy and Ayden are so cute! I can't believe how big Ayden has gotten since the last time I've seen a picture of him. You are definitely going to have a lot of fun this holiday season.!
