I am a bad, bad blogger!!

So I officially deserve to sit in the corner and be punished for my serious slacking regarding the blog! I could say that I don't know why I have neglected it, but that would not entirely be true! You factor in two busy school teachers with long days, a growing one year old, evening classes for Jason, a series of amazingly addicting books, a best friend back in town and there you have the recipe for distraction! I apologize to those who probably decided to check in one last time before they finally wrote me off as a quitter! :)

These last few weeks have been a blur as we scramble from place to place trying to be good parents and good teachers all in short 24 hour periods! We have had open houses and parent information nights and papers to grade and papers to write and basketball drills to plan, not to mention the simple day and and day out maintenance and care of a one year old! :) He is still growing like a weed but seems to grow more impatient with our idiocy every day. He can't stand that we don't know exactly what he wants when he wants it and that we can't always give him his every desire. As I speak his is whining at my feet about the fact that he does not have my 100 percent attention. I am seriously fearing the terrible twos if this is what one is like!! Hopefully he will really start to jabber in coherent words during the next few months and we can communicate more to his benefit...because he is just plain pitiful right now. We are trying to do the baby sign language thing - but it's not super easy either, though we will keep trying! :)

I will include a few photos beneath, but I have to say my documentation of these past few weeks is pretty pathetic. Enjoy and love to all! :)


He absolutely loved Mom's neighbor's new dog, Abby


He is having a bit of trouble keeping the 18 month pants up, but 12 months are a big snug....


He will play with toilet paper at any time, any place!
