Big Daddy always says, "Life is for living, not recording." At the same time, he does enjoy my blog entries (I think!) and he definitely likes looking back at old pix of the kids and our long-gone dogs.
That being said, he has no sympathy for the concept of being "behind on blogging"
and is more likely to pull me outside to play a little catch now and then.
So, I decided I would do one massive post to catch you up on some of the stuff
we've been up to for the last *gulp* four months, so I can clear the slate
and leave more time for living.
Leeeettttttt'ssss seeeeeee.......
I had a lovely getaway with my High School buddies
J-Boy graduated from his Adaptive Skills/Behavioral program.
And he had a Floor Hockey tournament.
The kids enjoyed sibling time.
I retaught myself to knit and actually made something.
Apparently I cooked some good food, too.
We had one set of grandparents come for a visit.
And then the other set came.
And we skyped with Aunt Vicki.
J-Girl worked on some sewing projects.
J-Boy had a pretty big part in the 6th grade play.
We almost adopted a puppy.
But worried it wouldn't be fair to Edward.
We went to Staples Center/L.A. Live.
where J-Girl and her buds ice-skated.
And then cheered on the Kings.
from all but the last row in the stadium.
Three of us were able to move to a lower altitude to combat severe acrophobia,
the cure for which, who knew, is cotton candy.
The kids grew, J-Boy surpassing his older sister,
which made us realize how little time there is before these kids are not kids anymore.
We down-sized one of our business ventures.
And simplified our life so we can enjoy more leisure time together
while we are, still, all together.
Doing things like playing frisbee golf at our local park.
And while we stay busy living this life that is for living,
we still take time out to record those cherished moments that make
the living of this life so very precious.
"I'll be right there, Sweetheart!"
I think Big Daddy wants to head up the street to shoot some hoops.
J-Boy's basketball season starts tomorrow.
So that bro of mine is a wise man, too? Life is for living...ah, some sage advice! Thanks for the catch up!
