Status Updates (yes, I'm on facebook too much)

So it's Mid January and I need to post something. Let me fill you in.
1. We had a wonderful post Christmas weekend with Martha and Clark last weekend. We had a tree and everything. I got a new mandoline and I promised Michael I wouldn't slice my finger off again. Michael got a Wii so there should be even more gaming going on than usual.
2. I'm single parenting this week while Michael is doing a wireless site survey in Maryland. So far he's had home cooked dinners with an old college buddy and her family, his cousin and her family, another cousin from the other side of his family and her husband and tomorrow will have lunch with another old college friend.
3. I finally convinced Michael to read the Twilight series with me and we are having a great time doing it together.
4. The kids are great. They've been healthy for two weeks in a row and are smart and fun and I'm really enjoying them.
5. I'm staying really busy with some really wonderful friends while Michael is gone. I've had playdates every day and we've had lots of fun.
6. I'm tired and I really miss my husband, but absence always makes for a lovely reunion.
7. I'm trying to throw my college reunion and we lost our location and nobody is calling me back and it's driving me crazy!
I think that's all. I'll leave you with some pictures of the kids that are breaking my heart. As you were. XXOO, Amber
P.S. I should mention that the photos were taken by mother with her awesome camera and her amazing talent.

New Roof

-

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
