Been a Long Time

I havent posted anything in a long time. Life is busy with four kids. I am finally feeling at home here. Im not so uneasy about being an East Coaster anymore. Its still seems odd. But there is a lot to do while were here so Im making the most of it. Our house is pretty well put together except for the storage side of the basement. Its a disaster area nationally declared. I love having a basement to put the kids in so they can play and horse around and I dont have to hear it. Its a slumber party must!!

The twins just turned one! I survived the first year and I hear from those with experience thats the hardest part. Im really enjoying them. I am so blessed to have mild mannered happy girls. They are sleeping through the night. They go down to bed so easy. And still take two naps a day.

Skyler and Katelyn start school on the 27th. We are ready. Sky will be in the fourth grade and Katelyn the first grade. Very exciting. Im just not ready to think about fall because winter is so close behind. Im sure the fall will be beautiful. I just dont want to be cold. The summer weather has been nice except for a few bouts of humidity. But overall its very mild. Mid 70's low 80's and always an ocean breeze. I love breathing in the ocean air. The sky is always blue. We get scattered showers with thunderstorms frequently but they blow through pretty quickly just cooling things down and watering the lawn.

Overall life is good I just miss all my California friends and family. I wish I could visit everyone. I am planning a trip for my 30th birthday. I will be going alone no kids. A few days in So cal and a few days in Vegas where I will catch A new kids on the block concert. And I am so excited. My boy band has grown up and I get to go see them.
