June: School getting out and then trying to put together some sort of schedule so the kids don't forget everything they learned. Full of swim lessons being rained out, and rescheduled. (At least I THINK that was June!) One of the problems with recapping 2 months later. My computer needed to be overhauled and so all of my calendaring items were deleted. & Yes, I know that its pathetic when you can't remember what you did when its not recorded online.
July: Full of birthdays (Mine & A's - My baby is 3!!). I saw WICKED for the first time and fell in love with it. LOTS of time spent at the pool. Girl's camp & a quickie girl's weekend (pictures to follow - or not, if I'm honest with myself). Splurging on new toys (a laptop & iPod - but the iPod was free, so I don't feel so bad about that.) We also bought yet another new weed eater. I know that you are all on the edge of your seats as I talk about our boring financials...
August: Missing friends that moved away. Gearing up for B's baptism, visits from parents, B's birthday party, School starting for TWO of my kids (AHHHHHH!) and lamenting the fact that we didn't fit in a summer vacation. (All the while still worrying/wondering what the future has in store for us - Stupid Obama!)
I can't believe my little girl is starting school. Its kinda funny talking to her about it. Some days she's so excited she screams, and then others, she holds me close and tells me she's scared. My baby... And then, in October, A will begin preschool 3 days a week. M keeps hinting that there probably won't be a better opportunity to have a baby and I politely smile back, and then change the topic. :) He then approaches an equally dangerous subject of me going back to work. And at that point I distract him again using more persuasive means. And so the cycle continues... Have I mentioned, I don't like making decisions.
Well, to all my loved ones who actually read this - I do love you and think of you quite a lot. & I'm sorry that I've been silent for so long. Miss you too. -A (If you get tired of waiting, you can always check Facebook for an extremely ambiguous daily status.) :)

Well, if it's work try to find something where you can pick the schedule. I plan on substitute teaching when all kids are predictably in school. Although, your kids are a lot of fun and more would just sweeten the pot. Good luck with this huge life decision Amber.
Your kids are getting big too fast. I can't believe Brandt is old to be be baptized. And Talea is old enought to be going to preschool. But with Aeron I understand because Andrew will be 3next week.
Just be careful with your 'more persuasive means' of distracting M... your might up with topic number one being complete! :)
Great to hear from you. Nice to get the rundown of summer. Wish I lived in Texas like Susan does so I could visit. Have a great day.
Hi Friend. Don't know how often you check this for postings. Just wanted to let you know I was here. I heard you had more than one friend leave you. I'm sorry. I hope you're doing okay. Sounds like your kiddos are keeping you busy. Hope Talia is enjoying K. Good luck with making desicions. Good luck with the unknown future. It sucks. It really does. I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I hope you've found yourself since May. I know for me, finding myself is always a process. I truly hope you are happy. Loves from far away- a friend is thinking about you.
WRite on your blog, dangit.
P.S. The word verfication is "shmano." Maybe we should make that into a word too. Ideas?
