Homecoming -15 years later

So this weekend my high school is having their homecoming celebration and my class is having our 15 year class reunion-YES, 15 YEARS! I really can't believe I've been out of high school 15 years! I can't be that old, can I? It will be fun to have a couple nights out with my old friends and reminisce about our own high school days. I told myself I relaly wanted to lose some weight before my reunion, but just getting back into exercise mode this week isn't gonna cut it. I guess I'll have to set my new goal to lose the weight before Christmas! We're meeting at the high school football game (they are 4-0-GO CARDINALS!) then heading to the local "Tina's" bar for drinks and dancing. Then Saturday we're headed to Hays Ramada Inn to hang out and mingle -then who knows what. Grandma Kath and Grandpa Charlie have offered to keep the kiddos so I'm thinking a red beer or two or three would be alright and I'm lucky to have my own DD for the weekend (AZ)! 96-96-9999-96!

I'm Back...

So I figured I'd give it another try. I know I have been HORRIBLE at the blog thing. I follow lots of other blogs and enjoy reading them and think I need to get back in the swing so here goes. My last post was almost 9 months ago or more-weird! Where has that time gone. I'll give ya a glimpse at what we've been up to. In April we welcomed Elijah Charles Patrick. What a gift he has been. He is the best baby. Always happy and so easy going. We really can't imagine life without him. He has fit in so well. He is now 6 months, has his first tooth, is beginning to sit by himself, loving his veggies, and smiles all of the time! The girls simply adore him. They are a great help (most of the time). Abby started morning preschool in August and we all are still trying to adjust being out the door to school by 8AM. Thank goodness Gma and Gpa Ramsay live next door-they help with taking her to school if I have had a long night up with Eli whom still likes to awaken once through the night. Abby is participating in dance again this year and continues to love it. Shelby has hit the "terrible twos" a little late as she will be 3 in January. She has quite the temper, but can also melt your heart. She wants to do anything Abby does. We are currently working hard with potty training. So far so good. I can't wait for the day we don't have to buy diapers anymore. On June 13 we moved into our new home and have been working ever since. We are enjoying it and it really is nice living next to my parents so the girls get to spend time with them as well as my their great grandparents. This is just a short update. I am really gonna try to do better to keep updating it. I promise
