Yes, I am still alive

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged (looks like it will be a once-a-month thing). My days are busy but precious. My kids are growing and changing everyday, and they never cease to amaze me. Emberlynn is a little chatterbox who is now learning how to use the potty (let’s hope she’s trained soon!!). Cohen will be four months old on April 21st, and he is a little love bug. He is always happy and full of smiles, and he knows just how to melt Mommy’s heart. Emberlynn is a wonderful big sister who loves her brother (most of the time, lol), and she is Mommy’s big helper.

A piece of exciting news: Matt and I have taken a big step and are buying our first house. We close on April 25th. It is a frightening but liberating feeling, and although we are scared out of our minds, we are so extremely thrilled that we can call our home ours. Mind you, I would totally love to skip the entire packing and moving part of it, but in the end, it will be so worth it. Our house is in Bethpage just outside of Gallatin (not in the boonies, lol). We are looking forward to having more space and a big backyard for our kids in a quiet and safe neighborhood.

My only complaints right now are as follows: I am always tired because I am up late getting stuff done around the house and up early in the morning with Cohen and Emberlynn. I think if I went to sleep at any given time and got to sleep with no interruptions, I would probably sleep three days straight. I’m pretty sure that’s no exaggeration. Also, I am hating packing, I only have just over two weeks left to finish, and I have been doing it by myself.

Okay, sorry, I had to complain. I’m human, right?

Life may not always be bliss, but it’s mine, and I wouldn’t trade any of it. (Except for the packing.)
