Hello, is this thing on? I haven't been on here in a while. That seems to be the recurring theme for the past year (or 2 or 3). But life goes on, the world keeps turning and my kids keep getting older. Since I've last posted, Laney had a birthday (she's now 12 and is kind of a braniac), Mike and I celebrated another anniversary (13 years later and we're still in love), Chloe had a birthday (she's now 10 and is getting all, you know, hormonal. Heaven help us all.), and I celebrated my 33rd birthday. I remember being young and stupid and thinking that people in their 30's were old. If I could go back in time and punch that little witch in the face, I would.
So, we're still here. We're busy. Mike is in school full time, on top of working full time, on top of being a husband and father full time. We're still exploring our options with adoption. I just saw the profile of the sweetest little girl from China with Down Syndrome and just wish she were part of our family today. yesterday.
That's it, I guess. My baby will be 4 years old in a couple weeks. I get it, they grow. If they don't, something's wrong. But it doesn't mean I have to like it. Sometimes I think he looks like a tiny toddler. That is, until I see an actual toddler, and I realize that he's not even close. He's like a foot taller than a toddler. Oh well, when we're at home where there are no toddlers around, he's a tiny toddler.
So that's where we are. School. Work. Eating. Sleeping. Pretending to have toddlers. Now you're all caught up.
She's 12. Twelve.

Oh, and I started working out 5 days a week. The body pump class is my fave!! The boxing class is not my fave. But the shower after a boxing class is just about as amazing as that first shower after giving birth. fyi. |
