Long Time Listener...First Time Blogger

We did it...We joined the cyber age of blogging! I was told I couldn't use this as my escape from sharing our lives with actual people...darn...I think this would be easier at times. Anyway to begin this "chapter" I would start off by saying that this is pretty cool, I get to share our families firsts, struggles, success' and everything else in between with those who are interested...and Mom even though you will be the only one to check this more often then anybody, I am glad to still share this with you...even if you are the only one who reads my nonsense.

So today as I see it, I hope that my optimistic mind will continue on it's journey of self worth by continually telling myself that I will write a book, I will run a marathon (half marathon...is there such thing as a 1/4 marathon?) and I will love my chaotic life because the light at the end of the tunnel has been handed to us by non other than the creator himself, and that lights name is Micah.

With that being said, I can't tell you how how that "light" tends to burn brighter when the gas that that creator guy decided to put in our body is full! And it is lethal! Since Micah turned 1 he is on whole milk and people food (not sure why they call it people food, isn't all food eatable by all people...not just babies). Moving on, he is trying to walk and is successfully not, he took his first step yesterday, well not sure it's a step considering he fell into my arms as he let go of the wall. Nonetheless he is on his own time table and he will do things as he pleases, and that's ok with mom and dad right now. And who would of thought that mac n cheese actually can get stuck in any and all creases of one's body! If I ever turn into one of those "one up" moms please somebody knock me off my pedestal cause I loath the thought of being one of "those" moms!

Anyway, as I end my first blog I leave you with this...

"Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it." ~ Marshall McLuhan

Until next time...

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

When I turned around... Micah turned 8.

For just a split second if I close my eyes real tight, I still picture the tired me holding the only months old crying you in the middle of the night and can remember the "I know this isn't forever, but please make it stop" feeling. I truly did want you to stop crying BUT I also knew that me nurturing for you like that, wasn't going to last long.... so I swayed a little more and embraced your little body with all of me. Then I turned around and you were 8. In 8 years we have discovered more and more about the person you will be, and I am so very proud of what we are about to see. So once again I share with you what your 8 looks like! 1. You are madly in love with your little brother and he knows it! 2. Baseball and ATA (Blue/Brown Belt) are your activities, and you are doing great at both... we might need to work a little harder at the whole catching thing. 3. We all LOVE the way you laugh out loud at ANYTHING remotely funny in a quiet movie theater, it's ex...
