To long...

October was the last time I posted anything and so much has been going on. We made it through the holidays with happy kids and that is all I ever wanted. For me, they were hard but I was lucky enough to have my mom, step-dad, Doug, my brother, Kory and my nephew Seth here to help us celebrate. It was great having them here. I do have to say that I am glad they are over and we are moving on into the new year.

Nathan is doing wonderful in school. He is reading, spelling and writing. He is also taking a science class after school on Thursday's. He is going to be my bookworm! He just had his 6th birthday. It is amazing to me to look at him and say he is 6. He is so funny and smart. Lately, he has been giving me little notes that say, I love mom or Ian and Nate love mom. The latest one was a note that said, I love you so much I can't breathe right now. That one brought me to tears. It is little things like this that make me realize that we are going to be ok.

Ian is growing up so fast. He is starting to talk a whole lot more and will do just about anything Nate does. Ian can make me angry one minute and then have me laughing the very next. He loves to dance and I do believe I have turned him into an official blockhead. He loves to listen to NKOTB just as much as I do and we will sit on the computer and watch videos for a while. What can I say??

As for me? Well, I am officially a single woman and it is taking a little get used to but ya know, I think I will be ok. I am looking forward to going back to school, getting a job, moving out of this house and just moving on. I am learning alot about myself. My boys are what keep me going and I will succeed because of them.

I will be posting some pics in the next day or two.

Love to you all.

Silly Boys

I just love it when one or both of the boys decide to do something silly and it makes me laugh until I have tears running down my face and my stomach hurts. There are days that I feel like I can't smile and things seem gloom but once I see one of them do something silly and all those ill feelings vanish into thin air. I love Nathan and Ian with my whole heart. They are the reasons I get out of bed in the morning and they are what keeps me going day after day.

I recently had a parent teacher conference with Nathans teacher, Mrs. Zilm and she had nothing but great things to say about Nathan. He is doing so well. His handwriting is getting better and better every week and luckily he is really good with math! WHEW!! I am amazed by how much he has learned in just 50 days of school. I am very proud of him.

Here are some pictures of the recent silly things the boys have been doing.

Love to you all.
