donde esta?

Hola amigos!

I can't believe it's already January 15th! My goodness, time flies when you drive 4 hours a day and care for an ill parent, a newborn, 2 dogs and a husband in school who works full time!

Who has time to BLOG anyway!?

The doggies and Snuffles and I went on a very long walk (off-leash) today. There are acres and acres of woods all around our house, so everyone really enjoyed themselves. I picked lots of beautiful, dried foliage to decorate our house. So--that was fun for me.

Aunt Mary is here! She is lovely and wonderful. She is here attending a conference for the leadership of the Catholic Church. She is a high-level person within the national leadership of the church. (So--like my descriptions of my other relative's jobs--I try to be vague enough so as to not reveal too much about them--not everyone likes a web presence--anyhoo.)

So--yes, she's here attending the conference and she stayed at our house until it started, and she may visit with us after it's over. She has lots of family in the area, and she's very popular, so we don't know her exact plans. :) Though, she has said how much she enjoys spending time at our house, because of Isaac, and because it's very comfortable and we have delicious meals. :)

I like when she visits because she babysits the whole time and helps me to GET OFF MY DUFF and get some longstanding, outstanding, large icky projects done. Like filing. I hate to file. Ms. Mary is an office manager, so filing for her is a piece of cake. So, it rocks. She can come here anytime and stay as long as she likes as far as I'm concerned.

So---other than Dave working and studying and being in school 100% of the time, the only new excitement around here is attending my mom's doctors appointments (woo-wee, dream big!) and trying to lose weight so I can get pregnant again. I was serious about wanting Irish Triplets like Aunt Mary. Fun for the kids and fun for mommy! After all, I am AMA. (advance maternal age).

Seriously, motherhood is the best. Especially when you can SLEEP! Isaac has had 4 nights in the last 7 where he slept from 10:30 pm to 7:30 am without a peep. He is much more like a little boy now and less like a baby. He likes to play in his exer-saucer. He can roll over and grab on to things now.

So--we're just rolling along. Still missing everything west of the Rockys. Especially since it's ski season!
