So about two weeks ago I was asked if I would blog on a weekly basis for the Des Moines Families site, stunned and flattered, I asked what should I blog about and she suggested just about balancing my life with going to school and being a SAHM, so I've posted three entries, not sure if they are interesting or not or if anyone is reading them, but I'm blogging away.
It got me thinking, I started this blog basically just for my own sanity, since I had to keep a blog for school, I found it stress relieving and so I thought I would start a personal one to do the same and it is (granted I don't let out all my feelings that is for my journal), but I'm pretty honest on this blog and I hope with doing a third on the Des Moines Families site people will find it useful or interesting and that it doesn't become a "chore" to post.
I suppose only time will tell...if you are so inclined to check it out the link is http://www.desmoinesfamilies.com/

Another birthday celebration
My little baby is turning the big three and I can't believe it! He is growing so much and I watch him in wonder. He tries his best to keep up with his big sister and does a pretty good job. I also love the way he talks with his hands, especially when he gets upset or excited.
We are going to spend the day having fun and doing whatever he wants, everyday since his sister's birthday he kept asking patiently, "Is it my birthday today?" and now I when he asks I can say indeed it is and I can't wait to see his face!
It does make me a little sad to know that my baby is now not a baby anymore, but he is so bright and wants to be into everything. Today, he was looking at his president placemat and had it upset down, so I couldn't really see and he was pointing to the last president, which is George Bush and I said it is George Washington, to which he looked at it and firmly said, "no mommy, it's not George Washington, it's the other George" and I kept telling him yes it was and told him I was done hearing it and so I grabbed his mat and realized the mat was upside down and looked at indeed it was George Bush and not Washington - he was right all along.
I told him I was proud and gave him a hug and said, "you were right, it wasn't George Washington, it was George Bush" and he said, "see I told you it was the other George..."
Happy Birthday Love!!

A little girl in the making
My sweet pea's birthday is upon us and she is way excited! I find myself feeling torn, here she is obviously becoming a little girl and I still see her as my baby. I found it ironic that we received her preschool information in the mail today, somewhere someone is trying to tell me something.
It stills seems like yesterday when we were preparing for our "first" and really seems quite impossible that she will be four, really did I have her that long ago? I'm just glad that I am here with both my babies enjoying everyday of their young lives. We have made many and continue to make sacrifices for me to be home, but I wouldn't trade it for a million dollars.
Tomorrow we will celebrate by going to lunch and having tea at one of the local tea rooms, she has her "dress" picked out. She is kind, loving, bright, and a little bit mischievous all rolled into this wonderful bundle. She amazes me everyday, we were sitting in the car the other day and she looks over at the store hubby was in and she says "O-P-E-N, O-P-E-N...I know mommy that spells OPEN," I spun around looking at her like "what" and everyday she looks for words she can spell and read. When we sit and cuddle I tell her to stay my little girl forever and she says, "I will, if they make a no growing pill, I'm gonna take it so I stay little." And I laugh as it reminds me when I made those promises to my dad and I know that no matter how she gets she will always be my baby, but it still is a bittersweet moment and doesn't make me want to rush things any faster because it all happens in a flash.
You are my sweetpea, my little girl how I love you so! Happy Birthday Big Girl!
Arohanui my daughter!
