I'M BACK!!!

To all those who might have been peaking at my blog every now and then, I'm sorry to have disappointed you. I have really been horrible about keeping this blog up, but I hope to make it more of a priority in the future.

The truth of the matter is that I'm not really online as much anymore. We moved in early May to a townhouse. It's probably the nicest house I've ever lived in...it just fits us so well! The first floor contains a living room, family room, 1/2 bath, kitchen and dining room. The upstairs has a landing area which we've turned into a reading room, Kid's room, Jason's office, Kid's Bathroom, my linen closet!, Master Bedroom and Bathroom. It's so lovely and I'm really enjoying getting everything set up. I'll post pictures soon...

The Kids are doing so awesome. I love them SO much! Christopher is such a gentle soul, but full of conviction. He's so spiritual...more so than any other little child I've ever seen. He asks me every morning when he wakes up if we can "see Jesus" today. He loves to draw, really taking after Jason. He has a set of 50 washable markers (the best thing ever...so much nicer than crayons!) and he is so cute when he asks me "ease (for please) color." He sits in his highchair and colors on plain paper. A couple weeks ago he drew his first real shape and it was the Cross. He got so excited and pointed to it saying, "Jesus." He is so meticulous about how he draws and has now moved on to circles and squares...but every page is started with a cross.

Christopher is also obsessed with Motorcycles right now. Jason got a motorcycle so that he can cut gas and parking prices going to and from the city for class and work...a necessity with gas prices up to and over $5/gallon here. Jason named his new bike Sophira (after the dragon in the Eragon). So, now, whenever I take the kids anywhere Christopher finds the motorcycles and exclaims, "Daddy!" He then promtly says, "Bye now, Daddy" as the motorcyle passes by. His goodbye's are so cute... He always waves and says "Byenow" as one word. :)

Monica is the cutest child ever. She has a very joyful spirit, but is also peaceful and content. She is the best baby I've ever been around. I often find myself wondering what she will be like as a woman. She's also very cute. People are constantly asking me if they can take her picture with their cell phones! Monica has Jason's complexion and hair color, but my blue eyes and full cheeks. I love waking up to her smile and coos! She and Christopher play very well together and Christopher is so gentle with Monica.

Well...it's getting late...so I'm gonna have to cut this entry short.

More later...

YAY! You're back! I'm so excited. I've been hoping you would post again sometime. The new house sounds lovely. I wish I could see it. :( Someday. . .

It's funny to think of Jason on a motorcycle--the Prince on his fiery black steed. . . :)

I love the picture of you and Monica--beautiful. You only grow more gorgeous as time goes on, and the kids are absolutely adorable.

Miss you and love you!
Christine
