She lives!!!!

OK, I know, I know... its been a long time. 2012 came and went. And it FLEW. Here's what's been going on with my little brood...

Kiera started the third grade. I know! THIRD grade. Wow. She is doing great and loves school. She is a second year brownie girl scout and will become a junior scout this spring.

Caitlin is 4 1/2. I know! Almost 5! She still goes to preschool full-time. She is still quite ornery. She started speech therapy through our public school district in December 2012 (after a long process to get her accepted).

We bought a house in August 2012! We now live in the same neighborhood as my parents, which makes life much more convenient. The girls love the new house and having their own space. I love it too, though I had forgotten how being a home owner basically just sucks money right out of your wallet.

We added a new family member in September 2012... a kitten named Gracie. The girls LOVE this cat. Hubby got her from the humane society and he picked her because she was chilling out in the back of the cage and he thought that meant she was mellow. He could not have been more wrong. This cat is like the tasmanian devil on crack.

I probably fell off the blogosphere because I got really busy. My work hours suck and my kids are demanding when it comes to my "free time." I miss it here. I would like to promise that I will be back on a regular basis but I'm not that stupid. And neither are you :) I am going to try, though. I miss writing and this is my way of getting back to it.

So, happy new year! Let's hope 2013 is a great one!
