Four Years

It's been four years to the day since Jonathan wrote the first SavagePeanut post. He started it to capture some of the day to day with a very busy (almost) two year old. We have a record of early Peanut verbiage, many of the perplexing (to his parents at least) things he did, our great and not-so-great parenting moments, Melissa's babyhood, and now Isaac's.

During this time we've discovered the inherent and striking differences between little boys and girls. (Don't try to tell me it's all nurture!) We've picked up new hobbies, and resumed old ones. Our family has experienced our first loss of a loved one, and our hearts have welcomed two more little people into our home. We are now the "proud" owners of a minivan. The beloved black corvette is in the past (ran great, but the cost to make it pass emissions was exorbitant). Much to Matthew and Melissa's delight, an uncle and two aunts have joined the family, and three soon to be four cousins! Jonathan has discovered that while he likes teaching (motivated students at least), at heart he is a programmer. Recently, flying with two kids became easy- just in time for our third. In the last year (last month especially) we have really been grateful for health insurance- many firsts for our family there. Our "Little Peanut" is now a big kindergartener. "Miss Meliss" is a very capable three year old with a LOT to say. Mellow, sweet Isaac is home and in my arms as I type.


I wonder what the next four years will hold?
