Been awhile...



It has been a little while since I have attempted to blog. Our computer crashed and we had to buy a new one, that was not fun. I totally hate that high pressure buying, when you really have no idea what you want. Of course we needed a new computer ASAP, as I pay 90% of our bills on here and our telephone service doesn't work without the modem. Fun Fun!!


The bad things always happen in threes, don't they? In the same week the computer crashed we also had some serious car issues, that left us thinking we were going to be replacing our family SUV last weekend. I was not looking forward to that, we did decided to pay for the repairs though and begin the process of looking for new car. Two months in a row now we have had to put money into the SUV, first $200 and this time $500. If we continue to this, I might as well get a newer car with a slightly bigger payment.


So what's next? Do I even really want to know? Probably not.


The kids are doing AWESOME! I swear I love them more and more each day. Caitlin is starting to learn the dance for her rectial in her dance class. She loves dance class and wants to go more than just once a week. I am thinking about signing her up for the summer session of dance, as well as possibly swimming lessons at the YMCA. I am still searching for a Pre-K program for her for the fall. If I am paying something, I want to be sure she is learning, not just glorified daycare. Liam is such a big man, though he says that he is a baby till March. He turns 2yrs old then, what a fast 2yrs it has been. His vocabulary is amazing to me, anything I could ever want him to say he will try to say. I have been teaching him his colors and he is doing quite well with that.


Everyone is our house is waiting, not so patiently for warmer weather!!! I think this has been the longest, snowiest (is that a word?) winter that I can remember. I swear we have a t least 2 storms a week since early December. There was more snow today, of course. I hope this is it. Mother Nature's last hoorah if you will.


I attempting to add some pics of the kiddos that were taken for Valentine's Day. I hope this works. Most of my pictures were lost when the computer crashed, though we do have someone working on getting them back!!

The sickies strike again...

Been dealing with a sick kiddo again. My poor little Liam. If anyone around is sick, it seems that he always gets it too. He appears to be much better today though and that makes me very happy. He hadn't eaten more than a few bites here and there, since wednesday. A little bit ago he asked me for a sandwich, I gave him 1/2, he came back and asked for more!! Such a small step, but still a huge improvement over the past few days. Currently he is laying on the couch watching Diego and holding a little dish of goldfish crackers. Here's to hoping that he gets healthy soon and the rest of us do not get sick. As much as I hate to see him so miserable, I did enjoy the extra cuddles and the falling asleep with me on the couch! He hasn't done that in over a year. I am off now to see if I can't sneak in a bit more cuddling before he realizes what is going on! :-)

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end



So here I am, trying out the blog thing again. Let's see how this goes. Years ago I was very involved in the LJ community, making a post just about everyday. That pretty much fizzled out when my daughter was born. I intend this blog to be a bit different, just updates about me and my sweet children. So let's get on with it...

I am Jessica/Jess...whatever you wish. I'm 26yrs old, though most days I feel a bit older. I am blessed to be a stay at home mom to two amazing children. Caitlin is 3.5yrs old and Liam will be 2yrs old on 3/25. They are the two best gifts I have received. I can't even begin to describe how good it feels to be their "momma," to have a front row seat as they grow, learn and change.
Now that I have spent by far too long playing with this blog.....I must get to bed! Good Night.
