A Brand New Year

Hello all,
Here I am. It has been a while since I last blogged. What can I say....its been a crazy few months. Now its a new year, a new blog, new stories, new adventures, a new life and a new beginning.
Here I am....in a new place, half the time I am alone and half the time spent in the company of my 3 little men. They are treasures to me and I love and appreciate them so much. They have been absolutely amazing in this change of life as well.
To get you caught up on my little men......
Ethan turned 8 last October. He was baptized and is now a little cub scout! He LOVES it! He has been having so much fun completing his goals and earning his badges and beads and things. I am soooo proud of him. He is in the 2nd grade and I think he has been doing great in school. He had a few issues the first of the school year but he has settled in nicely. He has been a great deal of help to me and is kind of enjoying it. He likes getting his brothers ready for the day. (He tends to match their clothes up with his so they can be as triplets). He likes to help plan dinners and teach the younger kids correct manners and behavior. The irony of it is, he doesn't take his own advice! But I guess the silver lining is, even though he misbehaves here and there and then we have to have "talks", the good news is..he's LISTENING!
AidanMilo is 5 and will be in kindergarten next year. I wonder how he will like it? He seems so picky sometimes. He always has to have "fun". He used to love running errands with mommy, but as of late, that is no longer "fun". Everytime I wanna run to the grocery store or Walmart I hear...."Where are we going? What store are we going too? Uh.....mom, that is NOT going to be FUN!" followed by a constant nagging whine. What is fun according to Aidan? Watching movies and playing outside. I guess I can't blame him....that really would be more fun than running around town with Ol' lady, but I enjoy his company...even if he is whinning.
Oliver is 2 1/2. He will be 3 in April! I can't' believe it! This kid has so much personality and energy, he wears me out. I can't keep up, and he NEVER gets tired! He does get worn out and will take AWESOME naps, but you have to get him to sit still for a few minutes for it to kick in. He is very polite, and fairly obedient. He likes to wrestle with his brothers and be one of the big kids. He has no fear and is up for just about anything. He's got lots of charisma and charms everyone he comes into contact with. Yep...he's a keeper. :o)
As for me, I am enjoying my job as an oral surgeon's assistant. Its busy and tiring, but the girls I work with are awesome and my boss...well...he's not bad either. We have fun. And the stories.....endless. People on drugs/anesthesia....very entertaining! So my days are good.
So here's to a new year....hopefully I will be better at blogging, but I'm not making any promises. ;o)
