Hello Again!

Don't get excited, this may not last.

Sometime between shoving the dog off my legs and getting kicked in the kidneys by Evie, I started thinking about this blog and how long it had been since I'd posted anything. It's been a really long damn time. Like, 10 months. I could have had another baby in that time. I didn't, but still, I'm just sayin'.

Not much has really changed around here, and I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. We were supposed to have more money after moving into the crappy house, and that hasn't quite panned out, which, I have to admit, really sucks. We took on some debt to get out from under our old house, and now we're paying for it, literally. We're working on a few things, so hopefully our financial future will be rosier by the end of the summer.

The kids are all doing pretty fantastic. Ava and Genevieve had their sixth birthday last month. They've started to lose teeth at an alarming rate. They got their ears pierced. They're in the beginning stages of learning to read. Ava, especially, has learned to apply makeup like a pro.

Liam in three and a half. He's using the potty, and is quite proud of his pottying abilities. He's even prouder of his penis, which he'll show to any and all who want to see :) He likes to count, is learning to recognize some letters, and loves singing the ABC song, Twinkle Twinkle, Row Your Boat, and You Are My Sunshine. Loudly. At bedtime.

This year has been a little nuts for us, as Patrick has spent about half of it out of town on business, including a month long trip to India in February. We've been lucky enough to accompany him on a few trips, mostly to Memphis. The kids have loved visiting Beale Street, and the Memphis Zoo is becoming our home away from home. We've also been to Pensacola and Birmingham, among other places.

So, that catches you up a bit on what's been going on around here. I have a niggling feeling like I'll be blogging more, especially as the girls approach that magical "school-age." Stay tuned for more shining beacons of wisdom! *snicker*
