Long Time, No Write

It has been awhile....lot of crap going on since the holidays.

The big news of the month with Bash is that he is turning FIVE next week. It is hard to believe he is FIVE already. I am sad to see that the preschool years are almost over but watching him grow into a great kid is so much fun. He is so excited to be turning FIVE...it is like a rite of passage somehow. He lists all these things that he will be able to do once he is FIVE. And I say that loudly because everytime he mentions that he going to be FIVE, he yells out the number to give it more meaning. I think he thinks that FIVE is an adult. (nowadays it almost is)

So, our sad news is that The Great One (great-grandma Ann) is not doing to well. She has cancer and only limited time left with us. It is aggresive and was only diagnosed Jan. 4th and sadly has not been given to much time. Bash, Joe and I went up to Ocala to see her on last Sunday. We all, grammy included, went out to lunch and had a nice visit. Joe and I are slowly telling Bash what is going on...he is a bright kid so we have to be honest but can leave out a few details. We will just go see her as much as we can with him. He loves her and like us all will miss her very much. He has a little bond with The Great One......Sebastien calls himself her "great-son".

We are off to hockey practice tonight. Bash has been doing well with it. Last week he played goalie for a little bit and stopped two pucks. He was beaming with pride!
