Wow I am bad at this blogging thing! lol! I am not as tuned into this as Sabrina and Tracy!
Fast post for now.
Alex pitched his entire season! Every game, every inning! Yeah I need to add that up. No wonder his arm still hurts.
Aubrie: we went to her DARE banquet. It was fun! She has a call back with a modeling agency. Yikes! :)
Hallie: Did great in school and is ready for another year.
Maddie: Sweet as always. REady to lose her two front teeth!!!
Kaitlyn: 4 going on 15. Yeah. Fun. Ya know the Dell "Lollipop" commercial? She wants the Blue one! lol!
Isabelle: Too smart for her own good.
Rylee: Still innocent at four months. Not too long till Belle corrupts her...... ;)
Took our much awaited trip to FL. It was so fun. Great house, good times, it was really a dream trip.
Till next time... hopefuly sooner rather than later.....

A Sad Day
I am typing one handed this evening so bear with me if things seem cut short. (babies in arms do that to you. Rylee is a party animal tonight. Apparently she is a TGIF girl!)
One of Mike's grandmas passed away last night. She had advanced Alzheimer's, but was relatively young for the diagnosis. I guess we all knew the day would come, but it always shocks you. How do you prepare for death? I don't think you can.
He has been pretty upset all day. He couldn't even call me to tell me she passed he was crying so hard. This is the closest relative he has had pass. His Great Grandma Sachowski was the last relative he was close to and that was in 2002. It's made it hard on me because it is bringing back all the memories and pain from when my mom died. I guess I had started moving past those feelings and now they seem to be flaring up again.
At least it was a beautiful day. Had it been rainy and gloomy I think it would have been harder to deal with.
The kids seemed to be indifferent about it. Alex and Aubrie new her better than the rest and they seemed saddened by it. Hallie remembered going to see her in the nursing home when she was still pretty lucid.
"Grandma D", you will be so missed. Your art work, your laugh, your wittiness. You lit up a room with that megawatt smile. We know now you are whole. You are you again. You are free. We love you...............

It's Been A While
Well the blog is still here. How quickly I stopped posting my everyday thoughts. I found my way back after reading my cousin's blog on her recovery from being hit by a truck.
Maybe I will start again. Maybe not. I miss it, but not sure if I have the time. I was surprised to see that people still visit. I apologize to those of you who have "stopped by" looking for new posts.
So much has happened since my last post. Our new baby, Rylee Grace, was born on March 14th. She is such a beautiful baby. I am so in love with her as is everyone else. The kids are all doing well. Baseball season is about to start for Alex. Aubrie just won a county wide essay contest for the D.A.R.E. program and we will be attending a dinner and awards ceremony next month for her. Hallie is enjoying being a part of the Gifted and Talented Program. They did Mentos/Diet Coke Fountains last week. How fun is that? Madeline is getting over yet another bout of tonsillitus. Thank God we go to the ENT in two weeks. She needs those darn things OUT! She is enjoying school (as always.) Kaitlyn is getting so smart it just amazes me daily. She will be four in July and just seems so much older. Isabelle, ah, Isabelle. Our Isadevil on some days. She is a complete crack up. I get a good dose of laughter each day just because of Isabelle. She is such her own little person. She adores Rylee to pieces.
The two year anniversary of my Mom passing was on March 31st. It was a quiet day. I think I underestimated what my emotions would be like after just having a baby. It really sucks to be only 30 and have a new baby and your Mom is gone. I had a rough patch in the hospital just after we had Rylee and another one the 31st. I knew it would be hard, but never what it has been. I find myself saying again that she is supposed to be here. Ugh, gotta stop thinking about it.
We had snow this morning when we woke up! It is April 6th! It's not supposed to snow! Thank goodness the sun came out and has melted much of it. I am glad I cut my daffodils to arrange yesterday. The ones left outside are all wilted now.
