All things good in the world.

Ok, so I just realized it's been well over a month since I've blogged, and a lot has happened. I have to say, I feel like a very lucky person as I have very good people in my life, a great family, and all of them support me, and mostly don't nag me when I don't blog.

So first of all, my oldest daughter has decided what she wants to do with her life - be a teacher. I've had many people ask me why would she want to do that, she won't make any money at it. To all of you who have gotten where you are due to these wonderful people, I say you should thank your lucky stars that there are people who want to do this job. And remember, life is not all about money. It took me 28 years to figure this out - I'm really glad if she's going to figure it out in just 19. I am proud of her, and hope she sticks with it.

As for the twins, they are always doing something new, fun, and entertaining. Over the last month, they have both started crawling, and little Sam has even started to cruise the furniture. For those of you who don't know what this means, it means that she is now pulling herself to an upright position and walking along the furniture. She started this at 7 1/2 months, WAY ahead of schedule. Most kids don't start walking till somewhere between 12 and 14 months. As for Riley, she has the most incredible fine motor skills. She is able to "palm" a block with one hand while manipulating the spinny thing on the side (yes, that's a technical term.) She also claps and/or bangs her toys together in a clapping fashion, and she plays peek-a-boo with great glee. She still likes her jumping and more recently her "autistic" type of rocking. She laughs, smiles and grins with these two activities. Both have also learned to kiss, though there are some doubting Thomas' out there. All in all, they are growing fabulously, and keep us majorly entertained, and of course tired.

Lastly, there's the hubby who is generally a good guy. I feel very fortunate to have him in my life. Since I had to go back to work, he has made my lunch/dinner/snacks every day for me to take to work. As if that weren't amazing enough, he doesn't just make run of the mill lunch bags, there is always something different. I have had sandwiches, salads complete with feta cheese (one of my favorites), prime rib, and always some special snack like Suzi-Q's, pudding cups, etc. In addition to the lunch there is quite often a little twist. For instance, I had to work on Christmas and he sent an electric candle in my lunch so I could have a candle light dinner. (I forgot to mention that noone gets to witness these little miracle meals because I have to eat alone while pumping.) He also sent me Christmas socks, little snack candies, and today I got valentine love hearts. How awesome is that. I am truly appreciative of his special efforts to feed me, and wish that you could really see how unique they really are. (He even cut the crusts off my sandwich one day.)

Ok, I've apparently blogged enough for the last month. Comment away.
