Aimee asked me what happened to my blog...
Nothing happened to my blog. Nothing at all for over 5 months. HA! That's fitting. :-)
Now I do wish I'd have kept up on this over the past year. I'm so terrible about keeping track of life as it goes and it'd have been nice to have all of Stori's firsts in a timeline along with our life. Our fun summer and the excitement of buying our first home. But, alas, all that LIFE got in the way of a blog. So, I'll try to sneak myself on here. As for now, we're going to do what we do when we run into a once-best-friend and pick up like we never missed a beat, k? :-)
So, Wednesday is Stori's 1st (actually 2nd but since no one acknowledges the first one, I'll just keep in line with society here...) birthday. I'm excited about making her cute things. I'm excited about cake. I'm excited about friends and family coming over. I'm SO very excited that she's mine. But, I'm not excited about her growing up. Knowing full and well that I won't be having any more kiddos makes me feel barren... and I'm NOT. But, it's a psychosomatic thing, I suppose. You want what you can't have. Because in all actuality, I don't want anymore than 2 children. I'd like a LOT of babies. And, I'd like a LOT of adult children when I'm older. But, these 2 are wonderful, they're entertaining, they're fun, they're a challenge, they're everything I want in kids. So there they are. It's so bittersweet to have them growing up.
Zane started 1st grade 2 weeks ago. He's doing agreat job! His teacher is proud of their "first grade" lines they make in the morning at the door. She says they're a great, fun group of kiddos and I believe her. Zane's doing a great job with reading and I'm glad he's seeing that the summer practice was worth it. We had a few arguments because he didn't want to read, but he had to. Now he feels great that he can actually READ books during book time in class. He knows his words for the week already so he doesn't have to "practice" them in the evening. He just cut his homework time in half. I'm so proud of him. So very very proud of him. To think, his 7th (really 8th, but again...) birthday is only a few months away is beyond anything my mind can comprehend.
Ive been working really hard this week on Stori's stuff. I made her a shirt. One of these days I'll figure out how to add pictures to this blog, but it's very cute. No one makes solid black baby t-shirts, so I got a 4T black tank top at Goodwill and cut it up and sewed it together to be her size. Well, a little long, but it's great. I feel really accomplished. It's been far too long since I just sat at my sewing machine and went with it. I'm going to make her party hat to match her shirt and I'll have her wear some jeans to finish it off. I'm also painting a pretty flower/leafy/name picture thing on her wall in her room. I've been drawing on her walls all day. HAHA! I'm positive it'll look great when it's all said and done. It just takes me a while to make a drawing look right... I thin kI may come back here and post some pictures after it's finished. That and her cake. Maybe some birthday pictures.
Then I think I'll kidnap the blog for a bit and be all about me for a while. Maybe. Maybe I won't be back for 5 months. Hopefully, Aimee'll ask me again in a week or so. :-)
I'm off to make a dress for myself for Stori's party!
