No pictures?!

You would think with two kids I would have a post for every day -- somehow, life just gets in the way. I lay awake some nights thinking, I should get my computer out and blog. So much happens... so fast.

I have been not only slack in the bloggin’ department, I have been terrible about taking pictures. Well, let me rephrase that – I have been terrible about getting the pictures off of the camera and onto my computer. I am going to try to be better about not letting them pile up, so when I do go to work on them it isn’t so overwhelming!

I'd say about three months ago I really started working with Mackenzie on her sign language. It was such a huge success with Carter - I wanted to start it right away with Kenzie. About two weeks ago, as dinner time approached, while we were trying all delay tactics to be sure we keep her on her 7pm feeding scheduled little miss broke out the sign for milk. Of course at this age the chance of it being just a coincidence is highly likely; however, it was pretty neat to see her do it. For now we are mainly focusing on milk and more. You can see she is making the connection – so, that is promising at such a young age.

Happy 90th Birthday to my Mémère Julian. I can’t believe she is still rockin’ it. The old lady still takes the stairs like she did 20 years ago. Unfortunately, Alzheimer’s has gotten the best of her memory. We are fortunate that she does still know who we all are, which is refreshing. She will unknowingly ask the same question over and over again. We give her all the details the first time she asks… less and less with each additional time. If nothing else, is makes for a comical phone call. With all this being said, we are heading to MA, all four of us, on a plane, on Friday to enjoy the weekend with the family for some CELEBRATING. I’m wondering if I’m borderline CRAZY, since I’m taking my 3 ½ year old and 7 ½ month old on a plane basically to stay two nights. It is going to be a quick trip – one I couldn’t be more excited for. All of us Julian’s in one small little town – watch out Southbridge…..

The kids and I have settled into a morning routine nicely. Unfortunately, we all have to get up way early in order for me to get both kids settled at school and still arrive at the office by 8am. My new job is…… well, the jury is still out.

Till next time….
