Things I've Been Thinking

-
I am so, so, so, so, so, so happy to be past the infant/toddler stage around here. I always loved my kids, but life so much more fun/interesting/easy with kids that feed and dress themselves, don't nap, use the potty, talk, play independently and go right to sleep at 6:30 in the evening without me.

I'm just not sporty/outdoorsy. I'm in shape and rockin' the gym, but there is no way I want to do a marathon or triathlon because that would mean I would get wet, dirty, or just be uncomfortable in the elements. I don't want to camp either, or play any kind of sport where I might get hurt.

I talk too much. I over share. I need a filter on my thoughts. Basically, I think it and then blurt it out. I often regret this. Alcohol exacerbates the problem.

That's all for today. XO, me

Can I just say, yes, yes, and yes? It's like you read my mind. And we went from wanting 2, to wanting 1, and had this totally serious talk about it not very long ago at all. But I am thinking about doing it again (baby). Am I crazy?

Thank you! Another baby? To me, absolutely positively crazy. But to you? I don't know. It's so personal. I'm glad Michael got a vasectomy so I don't have to decide any more. If you have another I'll be very happy for you! (and happy it's not me!)

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...
