Has it really been 4 months?

Its been a LONG, yet short summer. My kids have changed totally in front of my eyes. I have 2 toddlers now. One, who I can safely and officially say, is day potty trained. I have a total TWEEN, UGH. I have this one coming, I know. There is no longer a day that goes by that I don't wish I had been nicer to my grandmother. We have kept very busy, between vacations (we went to Yellowstone),family reunions, friends, birthdays (my baby turned ONE on me, how can that be?) and sad times when my nephew passed away. I cant believe that, in 2 short weeks, Alex will be a *6th* grader. Liam will be nearly *3*, and Madi will likely be talking in sentences. :-P

I have taken an active role in my life, now that my babies dont need me sooo much any more. There will be more on that later. :)

I must have just decided it was just more practice. :) The night of the 16 th , my mother, who was in town to share this occasion, took my family out to dinner along with some family friends, Don and Denny, at the Olive Garden. It must have been fairly obvious that I was near birth implosion, because we were sat in the "special labor room" of the restaurant. Apparently, a few women before me had gone into labor shortly after dining there, one of which had her water break right there in the room. My mother found that promising. Her time was ticking, as she had arrived four days prior and this was Tuesday. She had to leave Saturday, regardless of the status of my pregnancy. My mother ordered me a nice, short glass of Reunite Lambrusco (to relax me and throw ...

...and not full of too many surprises. We had some wonderful family times, Alex got up early last Saturday and she helped her brother make french toast for the family. :) I was able to get up and snap a few photos of the budding chefs before they were done. :) It was delicious! :) Great kids, I tell ya. :) Liam was a proud boy and loved donning his new chefs hat and apron he got for Christmas. :) Alex made Honor Roll this semester. That makes 3 in a row, and shes half way to the presidential award. :) She is doing a lot better in school these days, Although she does seem to be getting into trouble with the same kids... arg. We are making steady progress toward purchasing our home. We are at that point where we are getting calls every day or so about needing this and that from underwriters. I swear, we are starting to feel like criminals!! But, alas, it should all be over in a few short weeks. We are very excited and cant wait to have the keys and get working on making our house a home!...

Gonna be updating,,, it may look strange. :)

So, I have decided that Im going to go ahead and use this blog for something good. :) If you read my blog, you may start to notice that posts appear from 4 months ago that were never there before, lol. I am going to finish old blogs that I never had a chance to, and appropriately date others. :) I dont know that anyone actually ever comes here anyway, but I just thought I would share. :)
