Another year has come and gone-where did the time go? I will give you a glimpse of what we have been up to this past busy year.
In February we moved back to our home in Fargo and are planning on staying put for awhile-so you can all write in our address in penJ We are so glad to be back in Fargo and feel like we are home again. Ryan spends his days/nights/weekends as the Home Depot Lumber Supervisor and does flooring installation for a construction company in his down time. He thoroughly enjoys staying busy and still getting to use his craftsman skills.
I have been doing licensed daycare out of our home for almost a year now. I enjoy getting to stay home with our girls and take care of little ones as they have become great playmates for Addisyn and Ainsley. The girls look forward to the kids coming every day. It really adds in some fun and noise during our days here. The end of November I started writing a blog: http://everydayliving43.blogspot.com it has been an avenue where I can share great deals-must have products and whatever comes to mind that day. I have really enjoyed it thus far and hope to continue to bring some fun and excitement to my readers.
Addisyn turned 3 in February and started Gymnastics, Preschool and Sunday school this fall. Gymnastics has been a great starter sport for her. She absolutely loves to jump on the tramp and has gotten brave over the weeks and even jumped into the foam pit. It was her first experience away from mom so for the first few weeks mom was right by her side-by week 4 she was ready to go with her new friends and have some fun. Addisyn had her first Sunday School Christmas Program this past Sunday and didn’t sing with her peers-but sure was excited to see Mom & Dad in the crowd. I experienced our first preschool parent-teacher conference yesterday and Addisyn received a great report. She knows how to spell her name and is working on writing it all by herself. She really enjoys singing and teaching us all the songs they learn at preschool. Her favorite part of preschool is that she gets to be with her cousins Kayson & Amari -Addisyn and Amari are best buds and enjoy their free time playing babies and sitting by each other at school every chance they get. This Spring Addisyn is going to start Soccer- she is so excited and mommy couldn’t be happier!
Miss Ainsley where do I begin?? She turned 1 this past April and was able to have lots of family and friends for a birthday celebration in our backyard. It was absolutely beautiful out that day. Ainsley is definitely a bit different than her big sister Addi. She enjoys running/jumping/singing and most of all climbing! Her favorite spot to climb up on is the bathroom counter to get a drink of water from the sink. We are working on potty training and she enjoys the toilet paper more than anything. She is the bully in the house-keeps all the daycare kids and her sister in line. Lookout-she is one tough 20 month old! Ainsley started in toddler-parent gymnastic classes this past November and is as fearless as can be-she jumps into the foam pit without any help and loves to jump up and down on the large trampoline. She is my fearless child that has all the energy in the world. She gives me my exercise during the day keeping up with her.
This past September we found out we are expecting our third child. The newest Dietrich member will grace us with his or her presence sometime this May. We are all excited and thrilled to meet the baby that is growing inside mommy’s tummy. Addisyn can’t wait to have a bruddersisterJ
Macy May turned 7 this past October and is showing her age-her face has started to grey some and she spends most of her days sleeping when she isn’t being tackled by all the kids. She is our watch dog and lets us know if any dogs are walking by our fence-I think she got that from her mom Carmi. It is different only having 1 dog these days but for now it works for us and is a lot easier for mom.
I hope this letter finds your family in great health and spirits this Christmas Season.
Ryan, Miranda, Addisyn, Ainsley, Baby Dietrich & Macy May
