I've gone from a working mom and head of household to...............
A stay at home mommie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jason has a great job now, still working Friday & Saturday evenings bartending and working towards that teaching certificate. So, I get to stay home (at least for a little while) and focus on the kids, my family and my health.
We've saved up some money to get us by and I have a handful of interviews for some part time and working from home positions. I feel great about this decision and I think our family will be better off. It's in Gods hands now and I feel I was guided to this decision. So - all is well and I'm thrilled! The kids are loving life with me home.

So.... The kids...
Aidan has 4 eye teeth coming in now.. I can see them peeking thru the skin just about to make their grand entrance. Boy, I can not wait! He's a cranky little man when he's teething. He hit 2'11" and 29 lbs at his 18 month check up. That would be high 97/99 percentile, again. His vocabulary consists of the following words:
Maggie (dog), Karla (Aunt), Doggie, Door, Shoe, Mommie, Momma, Daddy, Kitty, Doggie, TiTi (Aunt Tiffany), Bubba (Cousin Eric Jr or Grandma), Bubby (tubby/shower), Baby, Ball, Aidan (when he wants something), Pese (Please), Anawese (Cousin Annalise), Sissy (Lexi), Tide (dog), Malmum (Malcolm, dog), Na Nite (time for bed) and his favorite - Kenya (Aunt TiTi's dog)
Don't ask why such the diversity - I have no clue! I'm just happy it's not pointing and grunting anymore.
He started the Mommy's Day Out Preschool program and LOVES IT! I'm so thrilled they both enjoy this. It is worth every penny we pay for it. They both have tons of friends and come home to take 2-3 hour naps afterwards!

Alexis - Well... she's still my mini me... I really need to work on this. One of me is enough! She's doing great though and is really accelerating in learning. I can't spell anything anymore around her because she knows what I'm spelling and what it means. Tubby, ice cream and park.... Should she know this at 3-1/2?!?!
It blows my mind what she picks up. Her teachers and sitters tell me she's an absolute doll and one of the most polite and well mannered child they have ever seen - Excuse me?!?! Are you seriously talking about MY daughter?!? There's no way and I don't believe it. I swear she's Dr. Jekyl and Mrs. Hyde. Oh well, at least she's uses her manners when she's not around us instead of visa versa.
She's growing like crazy too. Up to 3'9" (I think) and 35.5 pounds. I can not believe she will be 4 in 2 months. Where does the time go?
One more important detail - KARLA IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've changed my phone number and all emails need to go to my yahoo account (I can get them on my new phone & so can J - maybe he'll read them now).
If you need either - please send me a message. Best way to reach me is to call or email. I don't get much time online (though that might change - but doubtful).
So with that said..... J is home and I'm ready for bed... Hugs, love and kisses
