Blog Neglect

So, yeah...it's been awhile. You'd think I'd have more time to blog! I am now officially a stay at home mom. It was a tough choice, but I really wanted to be home with Harley and Sophie. I missed so so much with Abby and Joey. I also want to back to school some day, so yup...

Our days are full, we drop of the kids at school. Try to clean up, do laundry, fit in some preschool stuff with Soph. Plan the meals, make the meals. Go to the library and park with Soph. I've also baked alot lately. Well, let's catch up shall we?

First is a couple funny pictures of James at Red Robin..the waiter brought us a ton of lemonade...




James looks so good. He's lost 61 pounds. I think I found all of it LOL.

Abby received "Most Improved Student" for her class. She's in the 2nd grade. I'm so proud of her! She's come such a long way. Now if I can get her to chill out a bit, she's going to be an interesting teenager. I got to go to her award ceremony. I also got to attend a little class assembly. And a science fair, and conferences...I get to do the things I missed now.



Harley is getting bigger..she's 3 months old now. Crazy right?



And here I am. I'm feeling better than ever and more relaxed. I think my job was killing me LOL. I do think my pregnancy would have been alot easier if I hadn't been working.



Joey is in a play for Theater Works. It's a special thing for the City of Peoria and the Peoria School District. It's called the Three Javelinas (it's the southwest version of the 3 Little Pigs) he plays a narrator. I think it's a great thing for him because he was asked to do it, he didn't audition. His last director recommended him because he was a funny guy and a good actor. I'm so proud of him!

And last, but not least...today is Abby's 8th Birthday! She's getting ready to enter the waters of baptism. Although we may hold her under a couple seconds longer than necessary to just get all that sin off of her. I wonder if the water will boil? I'm kidding! I love my little girl. She is the best helper with Harley. She's so good with her. She changes diapers folks! And she's good at it! She wonderful and I love her to death! Happy Birthday Abby!!!
