My computer has been down and out as the video card went kaput. I've been wanting to post, but couldn't until now due to this issue. The past few weeks have been pretty cool. Those who are in the ABS community probably already know that The Bachelor has a girl on this season, her name is Sarah Herron, she is beautiful and was born with one hand....definately have to check out the show. I stopped watching it years ago but because of Sarah, I am DVRing all of the episodes this season. I was up until midnight last night just trying to watch last night's episode, in between all of the interruptions of the kids, and the Husband, having to pump, etc. What choas, but I got it done. So yesterday I could hardly stand not knowing what happens to Sarah, if she gets voted off and when...well I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but apparently she leaves the show herself. Not sure why but I'm curiout to know. I totally see Kyla being similar to her when she is older...beautiful, but just born differently, and super nice (Ky is hilarious, but not always the nicest...maybe it's the 3 year old in her :))
Then on Sunday of this past weekend, a local girl made it on the front page of the Tri-City Herald for being born like Kyla and being a sports player, doing great in school, etc. Check out the article here: http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2013/01/26/2251976/mattawa-high-school-senior-is.html#storylink=omni_popular#wgt=pop
We have also found a house for our family...it's actually almost right across the street from our duplex. It's the same type house I grew up in with my Dad and Sister...I certainly didn't love the layout then and not sure I'll love the layout now, but it will be much better for now, Emma will have her own room and it has a giant garage, perfect for Greg, finished basement, perfect for the kid's play/tv area. And I will have a larger kitchen that is already nicely remodeled to do my cooking/baking in. We start paperwork this weekend with the owners, who are also close aquaintances to us...since they are our neighbors already :) Very nice family, but they have owned the home for 4 years and never lived in it. His job doesn't allow them to live away from his work and his work is over a 2 hour drive away, so they are selling. Things just kind of seemed to work out perfectly.
Everything else has been good.... I'm sort of down in the dumps sometimes, Greg works all the time, he now has techincally 3 jobs..........not that he really needs to have 3 jobs, but he does, so it's me and the girls the majority of the time, which is fine, I love them so much and wouldn't want it any other way. I think for now, things are sort of tough, but they won't be forever. I think once the girls are in full time school, I'll probably head back to school myself. I've been thinking about doing the ultrasound program, which is just a 2 year deal....go to school for 2 years and then find a job. Preferrably PT so I can still manage the girl's schedule well and family stuff...but we will see. That is still a long ways off with the youngest being 7 months old. I almost enrolled Ky in soccer that started like a week ago...but I didn't. That is so hard for me. I am scared to put her in these situations. I have to figure out a way to get past that. It isn't good for her for me to be so protective....I will get past it, I just need to buck up and do it. Maybe this summer...I've been thinking soccer for sure and then possibly ballet or something....forgot to mention I also saw a story somewhere of a girl like Ky being some awesome ballet girl....I believe I saw that on Facebook. Anything is possible, you just have to do it, and I plan to. Soon.

End of 2012/Start of 2013 Update
Thought I would update the blog with some new photos and recent happenings. We've been busy..... and I've been exhausted. LOL. This house deal is draining on me. Still searching for the perfect place...yet to be found. We walk thru houses all the time now, even did one today. I might have found a good one this afternoon though, we will see. I just want in a new place so bad...it's very stressful living here as far as space issues are concerned. So much kid stuff, Emma is almost outgrown her bassinet and is about to be forced to move into Kyla's room where she talks and sings herself to sleep each night. My niece stayed the night with us two nights ago. She is now 7 years old and even she had to sleep on the couch because Kyla wouldn't stop talking to her. LOL. I am scared if we are forced to move Emma in there with her. Emma needs peace and quiet and a non-stop talking/singing 3 year old sharing a room with her...oh my. I don't want to experience that. Kyla is on break from school right now for the Holiday's. It has been a nice break for me, just to chill at home for a bit.
I do have to say, the adjustment from always working, to working PT and becoming a Mom to becoming a Mom of 2 and not working....probably biggest adjustment of my life. It has been a huge change for me. I'm not sure I'm good at it. I know I'm a good Mom, or as Greg says, a "great Mom," but sometimes it's hard to see my worth. I think it may be hard to see now, but looking back years from now it will be easy. I know the girls need me and I will be here for them, but I honestly don't see myself doing this forever. Or maybe I will for a while...heck it's only been since August that I've been home FT. Maybe it will still be some time before I'm adjusted.
Ky had a Christmas program at school. I'll try to upload a video of her to this post. She was so excited Greg came and hardly sang, just keep saying "hi" to Dad and "take a picture of me," hahaha she is so strange.
Emma is now almost 7 months old (on the 14th) and I can't believe how fast it has gone. She is becoming much easier, she is more happy now and patient. She is a beautiful happy girl, but she's also pretty lazy compared to Kyla at her age. She has yet to roll from her back to her tummy, she has gotten close but it's almost like she is scared to get off balance and stops herself when on her side. She has gone from her tummy to her back twice and I think those were more accidents than anything else. It's funny though because she wants to crawl so bad, she flaps her arms and legs, but just scoots a few inches here and there. She's pretty cute.
