Well I know it has been along time since my last post so I thought it is time for an update on the boys and the family. To start markus is loving school. He is getting taller and gaining a little weight. He is 3'2" tall now and a huge 27 pounds..he just turned 7 last month .who would ever believe he is seven. Aleks has started upward soccer again this spring and did a great job this morning..he is attending a private Christian school this year and he is doing well on most things but still struggles at times with some things. As for our family we adopted Arly in December so she finally feels like she belongs to someone who loves her.she is a great big sister to the boys. Steve is having another hip replacement done this month and that will give him a few weeks off to spend lots of time with the boys. I am starting a new diet . It is time to make some serious life changes starting with myself and getting healthier for my family. If all goes well by this time next week I will be losing already. We gave up soda at the beginning of the year and that has been fairly easier then I thought it would be.so for now that's a quick summary of us all .
