Yes it has been almost 2 months since my last post. And yes, I did say in my post in January that I would be better at posting. Resolutions, shmezolutions. :) By now most people have forgotten what their resolutions were anyway (or they have just given up), at least I am still here, and still posting. Ok... maybe not as often as I had hoped, but... I'm here.
Just to be up front, this post will contain no pictures. Sorry, none at all. I just wanted to state that up front, so that any of you who stop by and just look at the pictures without really reading the posts (you have no idea what you are missing), can just go now! (you know who you are... LOL)
We just managed to buy a new computer and I have not had a chance to get my camera software up yet. But I promise, the next post will have pics, as I have some VERY cute ones of the kids in their sun glasses and some from the park, and... well you get the idea. With Easter right around the corner, there are bound to be some of the kids worth posting (as well as some very embarrassing ones of family members in bunny ears.)
Well... a lot has happened since I last posted.
We are still mourning the loss of our child. I was only 12 weeks along in my pregnancy, when I miscarried. Even that early on, it was hard. However, I can rejoice. God has blessed us with so much, and for whatever reason, he decided that we were not meant to have another child... at this time. It is all in God's hands, and for that I am grateful.
We have also experienced death on the other end of the scale. My Great Aunt Evelyn died just 2 weeks ago. She was 89 years old. A wonderful Godly woman, she will be greatly missed.
After all that, it was wonderful to get to spend a week with my folks. The kids miss them so much.
Even after a full week of Gramps driving her nuts by antagonizing her to tears and pushing her buttons, the first words out of Lex's mouth the Sunday after we got back were " Where's Gramps?"
Oh don't get me wrong... the two of them have a VERY antagonistic relationship. She loves to annoy him. Constantly hanging on his legs, wanting him to flip her over and spin her around, and the constant sound of "Gramps (slightly louder) Gramps (slightly louder still) Gramps (Yelling) Gramps!" all day long (it's especially annoying at 6 in the morning).
Anyway, the fact is that these kids love their grandparents.
And for Grandparents I am very grateful. They are full of wisdom, and good advice; they love to spoil the kids with things parents wish they could buy but would feel guilty if they actually did; and they love to babysit. For that last one I am extremely grateful. (Can you tell we are planning a night out and we will be hitting up the grandparents for babysitting... heh)
So, there is a little peek at just some of the craziness that is our lives.
I have been bugging Mike to get a post up, as I seem to be the one doing all the work, even though this blog was his idea. So maybe if all you bug him enough he will get something posted before to long.
Just in case I don't get around to posting before, Everyone have a Happy Easter!
Thanks for stopping by!
