What???!!!!!

My car got broken into tonight!  Can you believe it?!  And do you know what they stole...?  My diaper bag!  That's right - diapers, wipies, spare onesies, and sunblock.  Of course the real tragedy is that it was my lovely Petunia Picklebottom diaper bag that was stolen.  I hope the robber smells poop in his nose for the rest of his life.   Hex on him!!!

another year come and gone

As my 34th year begins, I do my yearly review.  Some people do it at the New Year - resolutions, highs and lows, that kind of thing.  I do it around my birthday.  Between the cake (chocolate chip cookie cake) and the ice cream, I take time to thank God for the blessings and basically take stock.  Of course the best thing this year was Liam.  My resolution is always take better care of myself - get exercising and go easy on dessert.  We are settling into our routine, one boy in school, and one boy newly mobile.  The baby is loving his independence.  I'm actually thinking about getting one of those plastic little fences to keep him safe, but I have a feeling it won't go over well with the Mister.  I always thought I only wanted two kids, but now we aren't sure.  We don't know if we want to try for a third, and if so, when.  It's such a big decision.  We knew for sure we wanted two, now...?  I don't think it will be that much harder, but the costs will definitely increase: three summer camps instead of two, three private school tuitions instead of two (hopefully), and on and on.  We go back and forth, but I hope to have a decision made one way or the other by my next birthday....

quick update

Again I neglect my bloggy-poo, but this has been such a busy summer.  Right now Gigi, Nina, and Uncle Baron are visiting; Gigi (GrandmaElaine) is visiting from Virginia, Nina (my sis Erica) and her husband Baron are visiting from Seal Beach, and we are having a mini family reunion.  Long dinners, with fancy desserts made by Baron (rasberry Chambord tonight), leisurely breakfasts with homemade jam (thank you Delores!), and lots of laughing in between.  Owen is getting spoiled with late bedtimes, ice cream desserts, new Cars legos, and all the gum he can chew.  I'll put up some pictures soon....
