I'm back...I think!

Hello to all my blogger friends!
It's been a long time, I know. I posted something this past week, but Travis felt it was too personal, so I deleted it. I know some of you were able to read it though. I made it through the week of two funerals and am looking forward to this week without any. It was a tough week, but it definitely made me grateful for what I have!

So, who's excited for Halloween?! I know I am, and Natalie is. :) So, I'm finally feeling a little better during the day, so I decided to decorate for Halloween. Now, remember, if I haven't felt like blogging the last month, then I definitely haven't felt like cleaning. Soooo....as I got up to put my fake spiderwebs up, I noticed that I really didn't need to....I had REAL freakin' spiderwebs! YUCK! I was a little disgusted, but I also thought it was funny that I was cleaning the real spiderwebs, just so I could put up fake spiderwebs. That doesn't' really make much sense, I know. But, if I'm gonna have spiderwebs, they're gonna be clean gosh darnit.

On another note....I just have to brag really quick about Addyson. As most of you know, she's been slower to speak than Sydney was, and it worried me a bit. BUT, she is doing great and talking more legibly now. But, what I have to brag about is that she knows all of her colors and she's not even two yet. I'm so proud of her. She doesn't know the abstract colors yet, like fuchsia or anything, so by 'all' her colors I'm mean....black, brown, blue, purple, red, pink, white, orange, yellow, green, etc. So, even though she can't express herself very well yet, I know her little brain is working hard and learning tons of things.

She and Sydney both LOVE their little schools and it makes me so excited for them. They are learning a lot and having a great time.

Sydney is miss busy girl. She has school Monday - Thursday from 9:00am - 1:00pm, swimming lessons on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and ballet/tap on Wednesdays. So, on Fridays, she thinks I'm soooo boring b/c it's my day to hang with her w/out anything scheduled. I found out, however, that she doesn't like that as much as being very busy. SO, I've been trying to make fun playdates. It's difficult when I feel like crap, but as the weeks go by, it's getting easier for me.

Now I just need some motivation to start walking in the mornings when I drop Syd off at school. Anyone want to join me? Let me know!!! I need to get this prego booty movin'!

One more thing...if I haven't commented on your blog, then I truly apologize. I haven't been reading them, but I'm starting again. I have too much to catch up on, so I'm just going to start at your latest post. I feel so out of touch! But, I'm back and I've missed y'all!

Two funerals...yuck...I was only aware of one potential....I am sorry. I am glad you are feeling better though. That's fantastic news. I am so glad you blogged. I've missed you!! I am still laughing about the spider webs. Hilarious girl! Take care!

Natalie said...

Yeah! I've missed you terribly! Glad you are doing better now. I need to walk too so if you are still doing the same preschool and trying to walk to the same park...let me know! Love you so much, hon. Wanna come over?

I'm glad you are feeling better...I totally empathize with the cleaning before putting up the Halloween stuff...I had to wait until the weekend to dust so I could put up more stuff that I now have to dust again from being in boxes!

I'm glad your girls are liking school. Who are their teachers? Isn't it crazy how two sisters can be so different...even when they are little???

2 funerals - that is not a good week. I am impressed with Addison - Brett doesn't really talk either - we actually have a speech specialist come to our house 1xweek. He'll be 2 in Dec. and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know his colors.

Hey thanks for the lovely words about my "I'm going through my mid life crisis" post!!! I think you'd be an awesome folksy singer btw. you have a total Brooke White vibe about you.
