My one hundredth post...

...and over two hundred waiting messages!

That is definitely the longest I have gone without blogging! I guess my last post explains why! :) I am loving teaching again and having a great time with preschool, but just haven't figured out yet how to keep up with it all! I was so sad to finally get on my google reader and find that I have missed out on reading over 200 of your posts! I really miss keeping up with your lives and I miss reading comments from all of you! So, I apologize for going MIA for a few weeks and promise to do better. Please forgive me as I get caught up! 

Anyway, of course my hundredth post absolutely must be about my wonderful family! I thought that after such a long hiatus, I am due for a family update. I will try to keep it brief!

Adam started school two weeks ago and of course is doing well! We miss him terribly at home, but it is good to see him continue on toward the goal! It is going to be a difficult and busy semester, but also an enjoyable one. Once a week he will have the opportunity to either work in the eye center pre-testing patients or screen students at the local elementary schools. On his first morning all dressed up in his white coat Cameron said to me, "Mom, did you know Dad was going to be a doctor?" We are all very proud of him!

Like I said, I am enjoying preschool very much. I have wonderful classes with fantastic parents which helps a lot! Cameron had a harder time adjusting than I expected - "My toys - My house - My Mom!!" - but he is doing a lot better and enjoys having friends over every day. The only problem I have now, is getting everything done! I forgot how much work the first year of teaching is! But, I am finally feeling like I am getting into a good routine and getting my head above water. Just give me a few more weeks and I may actually feel in control! :)

Now for the two you really want to hear about...

Besides his difficult adjustment to preschool (after the first week his exact words were "I don't like those kids in my house!") Cameron is as wonderful as ever! He is growing so fast and I am starting to miss my baby boy! He constantly keeps us laughing with the hilarious things that come out of his mouth and is very fun to have around! He has been a great brother from the start, but has recently started to enjoy playing with Brooklyn - they even keep each other entertained for good chunks of time - Cameron does everything he can to make Brooklyn laugh and Brooklyn in turn laughs at absolutely every goofy thing her big brother does! The other day out of nowhere Cameron came up to me with a big hug and said, "Guess what Mom? We are a family!" - boy am I glad!

Brooklyn is as chunky and as cute as can be! It looks like she will probably follow in Cameron's footsteps and just replace crawling with rolling! She gets around with no problem at all, just turning the way she wants to go and rolling her way there! When I mentioned to my mom how strange it was that both of my babies had done this, she politely mentioned that it is probably harder to get a bigger tummy off the ground! :) She is still the happiest and most content baby I know, laughing and smiling constantly and still sleeping great! 

As you can see...I am one lucky wife and mom!!

My monkeys in their monkey jammies - does life get any better?

Well, thanks for letting my catch up a little. I have some fun summer picts that I still want to post and I hope to catch up with you all soon!
