Wow, a year already!

Oct 7, 2013
First off, let me say sorry. I'm a big slacker and the last year has flown by extremely fast.  Where to start is the question.

We have a new addition in our family. Another beautiful little girl. Born on May 12th just a few days apart from her older sister. (May 7). I was able to stay home for a few months then go back to work for a few months, then stay home for good. Still deciding if that is a good thing or not. 

My work is sadly no longer with Layne. We were giving the opportunity to move with the company to Texas. We seriously tried to see if it would be financially good for us to move and came to the conclusion that we'd be moving for a job only and that wasn't a good enough reason to move. Especially when we have such a strong supportive family here still. 

So my days of being a stay at home mom is a bit interesting. I'm still trying to get used to being home with two girls and a somewhat part time daddy. That's the other change in our life. Daddy has gone back to school!!! Which I am SO incredibly proud of him for doing so. Granted it sucks at the moment, we don't get to see much of Daddy as he is either at night school or home doing his homework. So we cherish the weekends and the opportunity to be  with Daddy!!

Some good news, tori is potty trained!!!! This did happen theorist few weeks of my staying home. So. She's been out of I diapers for about a month now!!!!

So aside from losing my job and becoming a single mother (it seems) our life has become pretty normal. Us girls are attempting to get into a routine between doing crafts, keeping the house clean, playing & watching movies (we do this a lot). Hopefully one of these days/months I'll come up with a schedule and actually stick with it. 

Just a few pictures...they make me happy

Tori

I have to admit I'm happy I wasn't hubby today.  Sweet darling Tori came home, and wanted her suit on.  So we changed her diaper to a swim diaper (yes we're still in diapers) and started getting her swim suit on.  Shortly after the suit is on she doesn't want it, so we change her back to real clothes and the two (hubby and Tori) go outside for a bit.

Maybe 5 minutes later they both come in after Tori relieved herself outside.  Apparently the swim diaper doesn't do much as far as holding liquid in!!  Into tubby goes Tori, hubby quickly changes clothes.

Such excitement at my house.

Oh my Heck!

So picking Tori up from daycare today, we put her coat on & she gives her friend Max a hug. Next thing I know she's puckering up to give him a kiss bye as well!!!!

What kind of daughter did I raise!

As of late life has been a bit busy. Work has improved & changed some, Tori is being crazy cute and continually growing. She has been enjoying day care as far as we can tell.

This week has been a bit more difficult for Tori & we haven't been able to figure out why. For some reason it just seems very dramatic & life changing to put a coat on in the morning or even to lose her shirt for tubby time. Then she screams and screams I swear for hours...okay really for maybe 10 minutes. We still have no idea why she did this or what might have changed in her normal schedule to cause this. I'm hoping it will pass soon.

One day I'll even put current pictures up. Kinda like one day we'll do a family photo. The last one was when she was born, the time before that was who knows how long ago. A few years at least.

Thanks for listening to my little rant. I know it isn't much or may not make sense all the way but that's how my brain works half the time.
