Finally, some time to myself...

I've been saying for a while now that I need a blog so people can keep up with me and my family. I finally got this new blog about 2 or 3 weeks ago and I've only found time today to say a little something. It's just been so busy and hectic that it's been hard to find 5 minutes to sit down and not be attacked by children demanding my attention! To start, I'll say what new things have happened in the last little while.

This past September, we sold our condo and purchased an actual single family home. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It's absolutely perfect for us and I knew it was the right home as soon as I saw it (from the inside). We had seen about 20-30 homes and none of them were really grabbing me. This house was the last one on our list and I didn't think it looked that great from its picture. But when we walked in, I fell in love with it, so we made the deal and moved in right away. It's been so great and I'm SO happy that each child has their own room!

Since moving in, we've had friends over, family visits, houseguests and a birthday party. It's been pretty busy, especially when you consider that we also had get togethers for the holiday season. I'm not complaining, per se, but it'd be nice to have some down time. That being said, I have had anything but down time recently! First, Beautiful Angel (my daughter) turned 3 years old last month, which means it was time for her to start preschool. Many of you know she is autistic, so it was important to start her in school as soon as possible. So far, it's been a bit of a challenge, but she has been slowly improving in some areas, the teachers tell me. At home I've noticed a difference too; she wants me to interact with her more. Up till now, Beautiful Angel has been kind of a loner and very shy, but all of a sudden she's looking for me to play with her more. The other day, she wanted me to just sit next to her. That was HUGE for me. So while it's been crazy taking Patient Husband to work and constantly taking the kids in and out of the car during the day, it's been worth it.

So, I mentioned "Patient Husband" earlier. He and I have been married for almost 7 years now. Wow! It's been so great and Patient Husband really is amazing and patient! And thankfully, he has a steady job and there are no signs that the company is doing badly. The other person in my life is Little Man (my son). He just turned 1 year old last month and though he's been a handful, he's the cutest little guy I've ever seen. He's such a monkey though, but that's boys for ya!

I think I'll go ahead and end this particular entry, seeing how it's now after 10 pm and I initially started this at 4:30 pm. But, when Little Man wakes up from his naps, you don't keep him waiting!
