One thing that most Southern folks love is ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sweet tea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cornbread</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fried okra</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and SNOW!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We so rarely get snow that when we do, it's really something special.</div>

It's almost like the two littles didn't even remember snow.</div>

oak island called to us and so we went.<br />
lavishing in the sand and surf, long walks on the pier and ferry rides to neighboring islands.<br />

We've had our share of rainy days these past few weeks. Rainy days make me want to snuggle up with the little people and while our day away on nothingness. Soccer season is dwindling down; all four are playing this year. Well, I'm not sure if you could call what Tucker does playing soccer. He has a love - hate relationship with it. Scouts is closing down for the year too and summer plans are in the works. Camp, day trips, beach trips.</div>

There have been a few preschool field trips thrown in for fun. I love that one on one time with the wee ones. The girl will be graduating from preschool soon and kindergarten registration is next week.</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She is so beyond ready to go and I am so not ready to send her off. The anticipation of it all makes me sad. I know that we have to let go at some point, but it's never easy.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ground will be broken on the new homestead come May. The big folks are excited and joyous. The littles uncertain and leary. Gavin even made a video on his ipod of his house and yard now. It was sweet and touched my heart. He is such a cool kid.</span></span><br />

You always think that when your kids are small that when they are older, you'll have more time to devote to the "extra" things in life. Cooking homemade meals, sewing for fun, reading, blogging, bathing. You know, the fun stuff. They never tell you in the big thick Parenting 101 Manual that these are just elusive pipe dreams. As the kids get older, they get busier. And by busier I mean that there is more to do, more to go, more to clean, more to care for, more, more, more. Which in turn equals less time for those "fun" things that I mentioned. And even as I shake my head at all the business and all the hustle bustle, I know that we are truly blessed to have our hands so full.<br />
<br />
But, my friend Heidi did <a href="http://slightlycosmopolitan.com/blog/2012/03/some-much-needed-peer-pressure/" target="_blank">a post</a> about the importance of keeping track of life and using a BLOG as a tool. I want to be on board with that. I want to do better.<br />
<br />
I've mentioned before about our teeny, tiny house and how 1680 square feet divided by 6 people is about as paltry as one can get. Archie and I have lived in this home for almost 14 years. Heck, I've lived on the same street for 36 years! Well, we decided to bite the bullet and build a home. This home will allow everyone their own room and space for us to grow.<br />

The etsy shop took off; bigger than our wildest dreams.<br />
It kept us all busy. My Mom, Archie and myself all learned how to work together.<br />
To fill orders and sew, sew, sew.<br />
Our busiest day had us sewing 54 camera strap covers.<br />
Add that to caring for 4 crazy kids, the holidays and a college class and<br />
well, you can see how the BLOG might get neglected.<br />
<br />
But it was a wonderful time. The kids are all doing well in school.<br />
Silas is in middle school. He is first chair baritone, but just tried out for percussion and is awaiting word to see if he makes it. We've joined the ranks of families paying the high cost of braces. <br />
<br />
Gavin is as jovial and happy as ever. He still makes friends easily and loves being active. His biggest hurdle at the moment is learning his times tables. We're up to 5s now!<br />
<br />
Amelia and Tucker are both loving preschool. They are really the best of friends. It's going to be hard on Tuck when she goes off to Kindergarten in the fall. (I know, I can't believe it either)! <br />
<br />
I am still in school to be a nurse. My next class is Anatomy and Physiology II. I have a lab on Saturday mornings (yuck) and we have to dissect a cat (double yuck), but what can you do?<br />
<br />
I hope to be able to check in here more often and read some of my favorite blogs.<br />
In the meantime, Merry belated Christmas!<br />
