What a difference a year makes

Somehow we've gone through a year and things are vastly different. Isaac is much more of a handful by running away with his pivot dodge. We no longer use the term "fraticide" on a daily basis. Alice is in school and learning so much that we never taught her. The kids are hugging and really caring for each other as long as they're not really tired or competing for a toy / object. 

Things are going much more smoothly. This is nice. I didn't know a year ago we would be here. 

Happiness.
