My So Called Life

My mom was in town for Lucas's 1st birthday. About 3 weeks before she came to visit she called and asked if we could do family pictures while she was in town. My sister was thinking about moving and it would be the last time all of us would be in one place. We have not had pictures done since I was in middle school with my siblings other than my wedding which we missed one of all the sibling together some how. So my mom coordinated outfits for everyone which was nice because I did not need the stress on top of the birthday party. I was actually dreading pictures because I was unsure if the kids would all cooperate.Then one of my BFF tried to help my spirit by telling me I deserve a new picture because I have lost so much weight. Then I reminded myself that Jason and I have not had a picture alone since our wedding. It was a stressful weekend with planning the birthday party and then to add family pictures was just not ideal for me. I am so happy that we did them after I got the CD. I was very pleased and they are going to be a great keepsake.  So I started to get excited!  So as promised.............

I was reading a friend's blog and realized in the blog listing on the side that it had been 4 months since I blogged. Really how did 4 months go by so fast. So many things have changed in 4 months. I have to be honest that I still do read every one's blog at least once a month. I really miss Tina's blog hint hint............
I just never take the time to sit and write out my thoughts. There is always a dirty house calling my name, a pile of laundry that is never ending at my house, dinner that needs to be finished before bath time, bills to be paid online and medical claims to be checked out. Normally half of those items do not get done because I would rather play or snuggle with the boys.

In August Logan started his last year of preschool. We celebrated my sister's 18th birthday. Lucas got his first hair cut. We attended some local mud runs and just enjoyed family time. I started a 12 week course for my new job. I think it reminded me that I was not ready to go back to school until the kids are much older.








We celebrated Lucas 1st birthday in September. I can not believe that he is already over a year old. The month of September was a blur because both children were sick alot.We were at the peds office 8 times in a month and half. Lucas just could not kick his ear infection with his teeth coming in. I think we finally have things under control but he is on meds twice daily for his allergies. Dr Sean is great and I am not sure what I would do without him.






I took my first business trip away from home and my first airplane ride in October. A trip to Orlando, Fl for convention at Walt Disney World. Yes I know you are thinking why didn't you take the kids? Well we were in meeting all day and there were night events. There wasn't really time for a family vacation but we will be returning there when the boys are older. I missed the boys so much and of course Lucas got sick the day before I flew home. Jason was so good with the boys. I am very thankful for his support with my new job. Halloween was a huge success! The trunk or treat at the high school was a huge hit with Logan. I also managed to take some senior pictures for Paige this month. I hope you enjoy.
