I haven't posted since Christmas day! It is February in 2 days, and I haven't posted a single thing for January (or for 2015)! What the what?! Life has gotten in the way of me sitting down and writing about what my family and I have been doing. We are on the cover of a local neighborhood magazine and there is a 2-page article about my family inside the magazine. We are in the Feb. (current) issue. My friend is the editor who asked if we would do the interview & photo shoot. Sure! We'd love to. :)
I am taking a photography class at the local community college. Everybody that knows me knows that I love to take pictures. I swear that after I post a whole bunch of pictures in a row on FB or IG, that people delete me! lol whatever! I post pics on my other FB acct. for Cambria's birth family to see her and be able to watch her grow up across the miles. Guess who was the first person to like the picture I posted of her tonight? Her birth father. That makes me happy- when she is old enough to understand, I can tell her this so she knows he cares about her and takes an interest in her.
My kiddos are doing well. School is going well for everyone. Cambria is talking up a storm and stringing more and more words together into longer and longer sentences. My baby girl is growing up too fast & right before my eyes!
My girlfriends had a birthday dinner celebration for me and my friend whose birthday is the day before mine. It was a great time. We had a combo birthday celebration last year too, and it was so fun.
We are in the depths of basketball season with my sons, which is great exercise! Baseball season (Little League) starts up again next month….then I will really drop off the face of the earth! lol
Well, I can always be found at a baseball field! ;)
So much to report and at the same time, not much to report. Some stuff that I should not share on here (respecting other's privacy). I did see that new Blackhat movie last night with some girlfriends…OMG the lead actor is a hottie!
My brother is getting married in a month! Finally! I can't wait and I'm secretly hoping for a baby cousin for my kids soon! By the end of 2015! Haha! I grew up with great cousins, and I'm sad for my kids that they don't have any cousins. Well, actually, that's not entirely true. Dave's niece is technically a cousin to my kids, but she has nothing to do with them and has never -not once-acknowledged that Cambria even exists. When I finally asked her why she refused to acknowledge my kids, she said she believed she did nothing wrong and that my asking her that was "insulting and unfair"! Geez if you are going to deliberately ignore someone, at least be grown up enough to admit it! She is engaged and needless to say, we won't be attending the wedding. I'm sure she will send us an invite just for the present- lol! We've only heard from her twice in the past two years, and they were both requests for money! Sad. I really do wish she would take more of an interest in her 4 cousins, but you can't force sometime to talk to your kids or pay attention to your kids if they don't want to. :( But I digress…..
Back to my brother's wedding…..it is in CA and the hotel looks so cute and the reception site looks very nice and the food choices sound amazing. :) Plus we will take the kids to a local amusement park when we have downtime. It should be a nice get-away.
Oh- my dog Sophie! My sweet tripod cancer patient. She had chemo number 2 on Monday. She has thrown up in the evening after chemo both times now, but after that she seems back to her normal spunky self. If she was down and sick for a while afterwards, I would stop putting her through chemo.
Gosh, my life seems so boring. Sometimes boring is good. Happy Valentine's Day everyone! May your day be filled with love and laughter. And chocolate! Lots of chocolate.
