It's the end of October....

and that means Christmas is almost here!! Oh, I can't wait. This is my favorite time of the year. Halloween always marks the start of the Christmas season for me, and yes that includes music. Right now I'm listening to a few X-mas songs. I know it's a day early, but it's close enough. I'm really excited about this year. I feel like this year Eric will actually understand what Christmas is. Last year he still couldn't really open the gifts by himself so we had to help....well, more like do it for him. Now he'll be able to open them up all by himself. :) I love Christmas so much! Yay! Just thought I post to remind everyone that it's less that 2 months away!

New family member

We just bought a puppy!! It's a beagle and we named him Casey. He's 8 weeks old and the cutest little puppy ever! He's so chill and laid back bu active when it's play time. He's like the perfect puppy. He even went potty on the puppy pad today. No messes to clean up...yay. Eric seems to love him to and visa versa, although at this moment he's laying on him....Eric on top of the puppy...in case it wasn't clear which. Casey doesn't seem to like it very much. Well, I'll try to get some pics up if I remember. Bye

Sorry it's been so long

Wow, it's been a while. First I just want to say that I'm so loving my job! Although I have a few students that occasionally drive me crazy, I still love coming to work everyday. How many people can say that?

Some what off subject, but I've really been noticing how fast time has been going lately. Maybe because I have a son now, but really, I can't believe he's 2! I swear I just found out I was pregnant. Each week goes fast and faster it seems. At the end of the week I have to think about what happened during the week. It feels almost as if I just skip from Monday to Friday. I mean, I guess it makes sense. Each year is a smaller portion of our life as time goes on so it's going to speed by faster. When your 4, a year is a WHOLE quarter of your life. When you're 23, a year is 1/23th of your life. Big difference! It's really a scary thought to think that each year feels like it's going faster. I can't imagine when I'm 50 and it's going twice as fast as it is now.

On another note, Tony and I are planning to get pregnant this winter. I'm really excited. I'm so ready to be pregnant again and have a baby! I was holding my sister-in-laws baby this past weekend and it just made me realize how much Eric has grown and how I miss holding him. He never wants me to hold him any more. For example, when he first started going to school he used to cry everytime and give me kisses and hugs. Now he just runs off and I have to chase him for a kiss. A baby can't run off and I can kiss them any time I want to! :)

Well, I'll try to keep this updated more often. Sorry for the dry spell.
