I haven't posted in a REALLY long time. Mostly because I'm lazy. Life continues to happen, but it's difficult to get on here and write when I've got about a million other things to do. This is my attempt to be better, since I miss writing. Wish me luck.
So...quick wrap up...
Sami talks, walks, runs, screams, throws tantrums, gives hugs, bargains for what she wants, and is generally smarter than I am. She is two-and-a-half now and we are in full swing of the "terrible twos". It's really not as bad as it probably could be, and I expect three to be much worse. However, I will say that despite all of her "bad behaviors" she is full of light and love. She's a very empathetic and compassionate child.
We added someone to our team this year! Rebecca Kenslyn was born in February, a full month early. She's very different from her sister. Namely, she's chubby and mellow. We like that. She is also looking like she will keep her blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair. (Oh, did I mention that Sami's hair is super curly? We have no idea where that comes from). Generally, Becca is a very laid back baby. She doesn't cry much unless she's hungry--then it sounds like her stomach thinks her throat's been cut. Yes, it is that bad.
I feel like I should mention stuff about myself and Greg....um, we're still here? we survive each day? Pretty much. I would say for the most part, not much has changed with us. Maybe that we're a little older...
Greg's 10 year high school reunion is this year. YIKES! He is still playing as much softball as two kids will allow (2 nights a week, and usually 1 big tournament a month). He also got his Electrician Journeyman's License recently. HOORAY!!!!! He also still refs basketball in the winter and we seem to always have a sporting event to attend. Currently, we are planning is 30th birthday (in less than a year and a half) to be a trip to Vegas. Yep, I think that's about all that's new with him.
As for myself...I can't believe it's been almost 4 years since my mother's passing and my graduation from college. I miss my mom greatly, and wish there was so much more that I could've learned from her. College--now that I miss. Spending all my time learning instead of working, yep, sign me back up. Ok, so I love my life now. I just miss the carefree-ness of college. worrying about only myself was so much easier. But hey, it is a beautiful-crazy life I've got going here.
I recently returned to work from maternity leave, which is alright. It is nice to be around adult conversation and not have to change my outfit because I'm soaked head to foot in baby-puke. But it's REALLY hard to leave my babies. I loved being able to just cuddle with them in the morning and I also loved being able to just have my own schedule. Working has made me realize that I also need a creative outlet. SOMEHOW I've got to let out all that's inside me. I don't have much time for painting anymore, or reading anything other than kids books, so I'm going to try to make time to write. (AGAIN, this is my attempt in that). I still work for the bank, but I transferred branches last fall and am closer to home now. Which I love and I'm so thankful for. I work four days a week, and currently have Tuesday's off. I love my coworkers and think it's great that we all get along as well as we do most of the time. Yep, that sums up work.
Ok, I think that's going to do it for today. Sami just woke up.
