Yep, that’s me.  Sorry about that.

Let me get you up to speed.  The ice storm forced us to stay inside the house for almost a week.  The house got really, really small.  I organized the linen closet,  listed bins of the girls’ clothes on ebay, and cooked a LOT.  We were all ready for nicer weather.  Today was great.  I opened the front door to let the 70 degree breeze blow in.  Aaaaah!  I can’t wait till Spring!  Gracie is starting to read.  Tonight she read “Hop on Pop” in its entirety.  I can’t believe my baby is reading!  Trinity is still working on the potty training, we’ve had  minor setbacks lately, but I know this is normal.  I bought her some new Dora undies, so hopefully that will be some motivation to stop pooping in the pull ups.

So I’m starting the first phase of planning our very first ever FAMILY VACATION!  EEEEEEEE!  I am so excited!  We are looking at taking the girls on a cruise!  Yes, a CRUISE!  To Cozumel, over Christmas.  I don’t have anything set in stone yet, but we are bound and determined for the girls to have an amazing first vacation.  And *I* need to see the ocean!  The whole time I was going through my cancer treatments, I promised myself we’d take the girls to the ocean when I was healthy.  Well, here I am, three years later: cancer-free, reconstructed body, a VERY deserving husband and children who journeyed along with me…I need to make good on that promise!

Okay, and maybe some pictures?  Let’s see what we have here…

Dreaming of that vacation already…

And here’s the girls modeling off their new Gymboree, we are soooo ready for spring!  All bright colors and pretty flowers!
