Facebook....an evil word!

Facebook is the reason I have been so bad about updating this blog!  UGH!  It is so addicting...and I only get on there 2 or 3 times a week!  It's fun to see people I haven't talked to in 10+ years, see their kids (compare their cuteness to my kids :)  just kidding!).  Oh well, I'm sure facebook will get old and people will start reading my blog again...right??

We are finally settled into a routine here in Dallas.  It's so fun to be back home.  Work is great and at times it feels as if I never left.  Mick is busy studying for the bar that he will take in 2 weeks.  He's so ready for it to be over.  Not much longer!

Not much else going on around here.  Harrison was sick last week with fever and cough ...not much fun, and I stayed home with Graham today because he was vomiting this morning.  Oh the joys of having children.    Harrison will turn 8 months old in 2 days...crazy I tell you, crazy!  He is really a good natured baby...except that he won't sleep through the night (go ahead and gasp in disgust!) .  I tell you, my kids hate sleep.  I think they do it on purpose because they know how much I LOVE to sleep!  Just wait my dear children....there will be a time when you want to sleep until noon and I'll be singing the "good morning song" as loud as I can at 8am!  I get giddy just thinking about it!  He just started eating stage 2 foods and likes almost anything except green beans.  He is "talking" and wants to stand up all the time.  He may just go from sitting to walking and skip crawling all together.  Graham is loving his new school.  I've been really impressed at what he is learning.  He came home the other day and pointed to a letter and said "that's lower case mommy..and when a letter is really tall that means it's upper case"....genius if you ask me! He is taking swim lessons every Saturday at the YMCA and will start soccer in a few weeks.  I hope he likes soccer games as much as he did last season.  

There's a little recap on our lives...hopefully it won't be too long before I post again.    








Graham wanted to help me vacuum the other day!

I love, love, love, LOVE that JP and Cracker have sleep issues! I felt the exact same way when my first born wouldn't sleep. For me it lasted until she hit puberty; so hoping you don't have to wait THAT long!
