2012 update

How sad is it that I haven't blogged in MONTHS!! We have been crazy busy here and it shows:) Here's the skinny of what we have been up to.

December- Christmas was great. We enjoyed the holidays visiting with friends and family. We had work parties and family parties that kept us entertained for the month of December:)

January- The New Year came and so did new goals and challenges. Matt traveled quite a bit, but we are used to that:)We have been working on adjusting to Matt traveling alot and me working 5 days a week. We had a fairly mild winter which I will take anytime.

February- Life is still crazy. Parker is in the school play and he is so busy with play practice. Taylor is taking piano lessons and amazes us how quick she picks it up. Oakley is really progressing in her reading which is a sigh of relief for me. I continue to be crazy busy at work. Matt is still in and out of town.

March- Matt is out of town again:) Are you noticing a pattern? Good thing he loves his job. The weather is teasing us and we could not be more excited for spring to come. Parker is coming home from Houston tonight. He has been there over a long weekend visiting Matt. That kid flys way more that me! No fair!!!

I have learned alot about myself and my little family over the past few months. My kids rock. I have been so amazed at how independent they are. They have at times had to make their own breakfast or be self starters until I can get home from work when Matt is out of town. I really appreciate all they do without complaining.

Matt is going to be having surgery on his eye next week. He had Bells Palsy about 7 years ago and his eye has not been the same since. He is glad to finally get it fixed. He is a great provider for us and often only does things for us and not himself. I am glad he can do something for himself for once that is important to him.

Parker is amazing. He really is such an easy kid that I just love so much. He really makes my happy to be his mom and I am always proud of the man he is becoming.He is looking forward to playing football this year!

Taylor amazes me with her sense of style. My goodness that girl is cute!! Lots of things also come so easy to her. She gives me a run for my money on many days but when it comes down to it, I sure love her.

Oakley is my little love bug. She melts me with her tiny voice but spitfire personality.

I sure love my kids. My job keeps me happy/crazy/busy and I love every minute of it. It has been an adjustment for our family to figure out how to make things work with a working mom, but I think we are getting it. It was always important for me to be at home with my kids until they got into school. So having that completed it has been so nice for me to find my place again in this world.
