In my last post I talked about what a horrible week it had been...well, it only got worse. I'm past all that now and have decided to not worry about the past, but now everyone is sick! Eden has double ear infections, Cass has what I think is bronchitis, I have a sore throat and a migraine, and Easton is snotty and MEAN! Ok-so the mean part isn't a sickness, but seriously...
He's just now telling me that he needs to go potty-he JUST pooped in his pull-up, but we'll see what happens. It's days like these that make me want to crawl in a hole and never come out. But, we'll make it through. Today is a yucky, cloudy day and I gave everyone Benadryl for their snots :) and we can take a nap in a little bit! :) Currently, we are watching that Japanese game show on G4 and it is cracking me up!
Oh-I get to go to the library today! It's one of my favorite places! I love the smell of the books and the quiet hush of pages flipping... :) So calming! K-y'all have a good day! I'm off for a nap and then some studying to help Cass with school. Yes-I am a great wife! ;) (heehee)
Peace & Love y'all!

What a Week (and it's only Tuesday!)
Okay...it's been a while. This is NOT at all how I expected my blogging to go. I had hoped to have time to post every day, but it's not looking so good for that! :)
Eden's birthday party was a success! She was so good! It was all because she was the center of attention! Little diva! Haha! She got tons of summer clothes which is just what she needed. Easton did much better than expected. All morning he was getting ready for "EE's and my birthday party"! But, once it started, I think he understood better. And then-right after the party it started snowing! It was so cool b/c about a week after we brought her home from the hospital we had flurries, too!
Easton has been a typical 2 year old so far this week. He told me Sunday that I could not cut his fingernails because-"I don't have fingers, or hands. I a water snake!" Where in the world do they come up with this stuff?? Then today he was getting in trouble for sitting on the table and just turned his little head and started singing Jingle Bells as loud as he could!! Haha! It's so hard to discipline him b/c he just cracks me up!! But, between him and Cass I am always laughing. They are two of the most important people in my life right now b/c laughter is a necessity.
Things have been crazy at my office for about a month now. It's been really stressful and I'm not really sure what my plans are for the future. I have, however, in the last week been completely broken down and asked God to just take control. I have always been such a control freak and I just have to let this go. I am in no way control of my life right now-if I wanted to be or not! So-HE will lead me in the right direction and I will take the time to listen to what that direction may be.
We have also had a tragedy this week. Cass's cousin, Todd, passed away this morning from apparent complications from cirrhosis. We're not exactly sure what happened, but he was bleeding internally and were unable to stop it. I feel really bad for Cass's aunt (Maxine). Todd was her only child and she spent so much of her time doing for him that I worry that she won't have anything to occupy that time and will get depressed.
So-it's only Tuesday and I'm exhausted. We have a long week ahead, but the Lord will see us through. Personally, I'm praying for warmer weather. Anything below 50 degrees should be illegal! :) Haha!
*afterthought* i'll try to post pictures sometime this week. i'll have to figure it out! :) Peace & Love!

Crazy Stuff!!
So-my office went nuts yesterday and two of people very important to daily business resigned. I can see their reasonings behind this, but at the same time, they have left us in quite a bind!! I don't even know how the system works here and somehow I have become the IT person! Thank God that Cass is off Monday for MLK Day so he can come help us out.
Cass took the kids to school this morning so I could attempt to get here early-it still didn't work-but at least I didn't have to deal with the stress of them, too! :)
Eden's first birthday party is tomorrow and I still just can't get my head wrapped around the fact that she is a year old! I ordered her cake yesterday-white with different pastel colored polka-dots. It's going to be so cute! We hope to get stuff to finish her room within the next month. (IF I can get Cass to move all his crap out so we can put her in there!) I can't wait to have it all painted pink and put all the girlie crafty ideas that are all in my head in there! :)
Currently, I am sitting on hold with a dang merchant account company and the operator that keeps thanking me for holding has a nasty nasally Yankee accent! Haha! It made me laugh for a second.
I've decided that I am going to have peace in my heart at all times and give anger and frustration and stress to the Lord. Peace and Love is my mantra. Somehow I feel if I say that repeatedly that it will happen! So-if you see me in the grocery store with 2 kids screaming and I'm trying to put the wrong stuff OUT of the buggy and the right stuff IN, please don't laugh if you think I'm talking to myself. I am simply asking the good Lord for peace and love! :) (and maybe the chance to pee alone when I get home! LOL!)
I have no real funnies about my babies today. I got my hair cut last night so Cass had them until almost bedtime. When I got home they were so happy to see me tho! Eden did her little nuzzling thing that I love! Gosh-she's getting so big! And Easton was a wild man and got in trouble for kicking. What's new? This phase will pass and he will be back to my sweet little boy! He did, however, tell me last night that I am his favorite mommy! :) Sweet, simple things....
Peace & Love Everyone! :)

A new year
Ok-so I know that I titled this "A new year" and probably should have started it at the actual beginning of the new year, but I was a little behind. What's new? We started 2009 with a bang-but what else would you expect from us? Poor Eden had pneumonia and she and I stayed home for almost a whole week rehabilitating her. After she was well, I suddenly realized that my baby is about to turn a year old and I didn't have ANY party plans ready! So-without invitations printed, I hauled my hiney to the local crafts store and did the best I could with what they had there! I still think I did an excellent job. We're going with a generic polka-dotted theme and having close friends and family over like we did for Easton.
It is so hard for me to believe that my babies are growing up so fast. Easton will be 3 in April and, although I feel like he's always been a part of me, it doesn't seem like he's been here for three years! And Eden-my beautiful, dramatic suprise-is beginning to walk and talk and show that temper of hers! (She gets it from her momma!)
Cass and I are so blessed to have these two angels to help show us the way. We have grown apart and grown closer through the process of having children and now have, what I feel, is a wonderful, stable relationship that will last a lifetime. Not that we didn't think it would last, but now we have two more reasons to work to make it last. :)
We are fortunate to have wonderful families that are always willing to help with anything and both have been extremely lucky to have wonderful jobs during these tough times. Our friends are all settling down with children of their own and now understand why we fell off the face of the earth for a year or so there, but we have also found that WE (of all people) seem to be the "experts" on baby-raising! Hahaha! All we can say is that we both are cronically sleep deprived and the past 3 years have probably taken at least 10 years off of our life span and advise that you NOT-I REPEAT-DO NOT-have 2 children in 2 years!!! :) Really, though, the last 3 years have been the most rewarding experience of my lifetime and I can't wait for the years to come!
As selfish as it seems, I have decided to start this blog to record my memories, as I can't seem to hold on to them anymore! So, this is to become my children's baby books! I will begin recording their progress here for all to see and for me to look back on! :) Happy New Year to all! (2 weeks late) I wish you all the blessings life may bring and more!
