Absent -not forgotten

Dear Kids!

So sorry I have not been keeping up with this blog nearly the way I intended to. Too busy living life to write about life, I guess.

Yesterday I had a whirlwind adventure. I drove about 5 hours by myself to Mansfield, TX to pick up your cousin Ashley who is 26 years old. She is my brother's 1st daughter. She just graduated nursing school and will be looking for a job here in Houston. So exciting to have her staying with us for a bit. After I picked her up, we got a little lost on the way back, so it took more like 6 hours to get home, instead of 5. OH well - we called it an adventure.

Meanwhile, your father has finished his MBA and that is very exciting. Now he has more time to work on household projects - like PAINTING. Yes, we are in the midst of painting every wall. We have a lot done so far - a nice shade of light green - but more work to do. We have been re-arranging furniture and throwing stuff out and giving things away. Woo hoo for de-cluttering.

And speaking of giving things away - OH sweet James - you hit a milestone. We gave away your crib and you now sleep in a big boy bed. Yay! You do it so well too, you are an awesome sleeper, always have been. I thank God for you every day (and your awesome sleeping habits).

At this moment, as I type - your father has taken all of you kids to the Galleria mall, and I am here all by myself. I must say, it's kinda quiet. I need to get some work done- so much to do. Best get busy and take advantage of my solitude.
