Loving Life!

Getting together with family and friends is nice babe! Can't wait till Christmas! Ethan is doing super in basketball and loves his new coach! Dylan is tackling letters, numbers, shapes, address, phone numbers, and most of all tieing his SHOES..almost there! Ryan is handling new job (which is very demanding), and school which I have no idea how he even does it...and most of all loving us. Me...well I handle the house...which is rewarding when you go to get cloths or bath towels..always there...and never out! I love being on top of the housework but I would rather be working! Makn that Money!!!! But all in good time! I love being here with Dylan and he loves it too! I hope that Ryan and I keep this going because many family and friends don't get to hear from us that much!

Better Late Than Never (I Guess)

Sometimes I let the hustle and bustle of every day life overshadow the more important details that keep getting lost in translation. And, unfortunately, it's my family that are the obscured details right now. I can honestly say that I've never been this busy...ever. The pressures from my employer and my school have distorted my priorities to the point that I can't keep straight what my priorities are anymore. I feel I take the support of my family for granted too often and I should tell them how important they are to my success and how much they are appreciated - even if I don't spend as much time with them as I should. I was looking at a slideshow of family pictures on Melissa's facebook page last night and it was very disheartening to notice that I haven't been involved in a lot of family events due to my obligations to school and work. It was really hard to take in.

I was happy to make it to Ethan's basketball practice on Monday night. I really enjoy sitting back and watching him interact with his peers and playing a game he really likes. I am so proud of his efforts at school and his grades show it. Dylan has really grown into such a loving boy. He can melt my heart in a second. His energy level is unparalleled and he is always smiling. I love watching them grow into such different personalities.
