Hello again! And to think I started this darn thing thinking I'd have time to keep folks up-to-date! Things around here have been super busy. Work has been stressful for both of us. I think there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm afraid to admit it until I'm positive it's there.
Nico turned one on Saturday, Oct. 17. He had a blast. The boy's a walkin fool...follows Natalia everywhere. He's got the best laugh! Natalia will be turning five on Nov. 15...it's so amazing how quickly they grow. What would my life be without them?
The kids are going to be sporting Batgirl and Batman costumes this year for Halloween.
Me and the kids are looking forward to heading out to visit my parents out in OK. Dad will finally get to meet his grandson! Natalia is looking forward to "helping grandma make stuff." She'll also be celebrating an early birthday while we're out there.
It's beginning to feel like Fall around here (I used to think "Autumn" sounded so poetic...now it just sounds muddy to me). The air is cool and crisp, and the leaves are beginning to lose their grip on the trees. Before you know it we'll be at the table eating Thanksgiving dinner with our loved ones...then on to Christmas and then toasting to a happy and prosperous (hopefully...we need it!) new year.
I hope everyone is doing well, and I'll try to do a better job at keeping y'all in the loop.
Love to all,
Mandy
