we’re still around
We’re all still alive + kickin’. Just busy. Some days more than others, but since we are in spring soccer season now we are back to 4 practices a week and 2 games every Saturday. Tommy + Anthony both have practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 5-6…too bad it wasn’t at the same field and it would have been super easy to manage. Thankfully it hasn’t been too bad so far. Tom has been able to make every practice (all 4 so far) so he goes to one and I run off to the other. This Tuesday will be a different story seeing that Tom’s in the field for the first part of the week. Thankfully we know both coaches outside of soccer, so we don’t feel quite so bad about asking for a favor or two.
Alex is a busy boy most days learning new things and learning to entertain himself during the day. We are currently counting down the days until J + J fly in from MI to hang out with us over spring break. It’s been a year since they were here last. We’ve missed them alot. We wish we were closer to MI so that we could go visit. There have been some changes since we saw them last, we moved, Alex finally potty trained and the biggest of all…we are getting ready to bring another baby into the family. With the due date rapidly approaching we have made arrangements for Grandma to fly in so she can be here with us. I just told the boys that 2 months after J + J leave to go back to MI, Grandma will come to visit and they were so happy. I’m happy that they are so happy, but I feel horrible at the same time that they haven’t seen Grandma (or anyone else in the family, minus J +J) in well over a year – it will be 2 years this summer for my side of the family. Unfortunately though, it doesn’t look like we’ll be able to afford to fly there anytime soon.
Amazingly enough I’ve been keeping up with our photo a day. I don’t get a new photo posted to the blog every day, because let’s face it…some days it’s a wonder enough that I did take one. hahaha I do try to post them at least once a week if not more frequently. I recently got a new template for the blogger blog to make it all snazzy looking and got that installed yesterday. I want to post more often and am looking for inspiration for posts. I don’t want anyone to be bored, I know that the conversation here isn’t going to spark any huge Twitter drama, but I do need to start posting something more often. I don’t know if the scrapping misc would be interesting enough or boring for those who stop by. I am still planning on pursuing the photography line (which reminds me I need to renew my photography blog domain name) at some point. I just have nothing “new” to say on a lot of these things, there have been others, many others, that have all said it already and much, much better than I can.
