Look. I know I am totally inconsistant with this blogging thing, but I just re-read every post I've ever written and it encouraged me to continue. Even though it is easier to just put something silly up on Facebook. Even though I don't think anyone really reads this anymore. Even though I don't always have anything very elequent to say.
But I love all the stories about the kids and work and Nathan, and I have lots more to tell, so if it is OK with you shall we get back at it?
Guess what? I am back at my old job that I love! I've been back at it part time since May-ish, so old news, but I've been doing lots of sampling lately and I'm getting in a good groove and pretty happy with it. The economy is keeping us on our toes about the premanancy of it, but I'll take it while I can.
Baby Isla is almost one. No kidding. ONE. She has been taking a few walking steps every day too. It takes my breath away how quickly time has flown by this last year. Wasn't she born just last month? I mean really, I still have some maternity things in my closet (that I may or may not still sometimes wear but lets not talk about that). She is almost one. She gets weighed again on November 16th, and I'm guessing she will be close to 22 pounds. She got big! Just like Simon it turns out she likes REAL food. Alot.
Speaking of Simon, he is starting to finally get the hang of the potty business. I'm sure it will take a lot of work still, but maybe soon we will only have to worry about one kid in diapers. YAY.
Zoe is loving her new school and second grade. She goes to a neat private school that we love. It is just right for her, and challanges her and she doesn't get away with not doing stuff (she gets it from me).
Morgan is almost as tall as me and will be eleven next month too. She is so smart and tall and beautiful, it's hard to believe. We are one lucky family.
For Halloween we are doing the Roosevelt Community Church Candy Walk (meet us on Texas Street if you want to join us!) and then checking out our new neighborhood for good candy giving houses. Zoe is going as a frog this year, and Simon has a red dragon costume that he is excited for, Morgan is having a big Halloween party with her mom this year and I know she told me like five hundred times what she is going to be but I forgot again and I'll have to fill you in later. And for Isla I wanted to get a lobster costume and carry her around while I wear Nathan's chef coat, but so far I've only found a pumpkin one for her. But that's ok, I'm only in it for the Reeces Peanut Butter Cups so I only have to fool a few people and chefs cook pumpkins too.
Sometimes it amazes me that we are a family of six. That's more than one hand people!
I ablsolutly love every single crazy minute of it.
