Oh my goodness I have been slacking. I can't believe I've taken so long to write. Well Valentine's Day was awesome. My incredibly handsome husband brought me flowers and balloons and a card and conversation hearts (as has been tradition since I was a little girl;the hearts I mean) and he bought a cute pair of red shoes for me (I of course helped him out with that). Then we went to dinner at our tradtional place since being together, the oh so delicious Carrabas. It was a great day and so much fun making valentines for him... :) Alexis had her nine month check-up and did not grow in 2 months, but I swear I feed the girl whatever she wants...well almost. There are too many unknown papers and who knows what that she tries to eat all the time. :) She is such a joy in James' and my life we can't get enough of her.
James and I have been discussing buying some land this year in Texas to build on later in the next 4 or 5 years when James has gotten enough experience as a ceramist so that we can move down there. We have planned on moving down there but we plan on staying with our current live in nanny situation for at least 3 to 3 1/2 years as is desired by our bossman. And James is working in such a good lab that things may work out for us to stay here but we figure if we end up staying here we'd just sell the land and enjoy whatever profit we made. Anyway that is the latest update for now.

Well a few new fun things have been happening...James has applied for American Gladiators and he tried out for a professional indoor football team, the Saints, for which he will be paid to play if he makes the team. He's pretty excited for both things so keep your fingers crossed. Things have been going so much better with the nanny job I'm doing. Both kids are being so much better. It's nice to go three weeks in a row so far with out world war three going on with them. Although hopefully I haven't jinxed anything by saying so. :) Alexis is pulling herself up with much ease and crawling around so good. She has already started letting go of the couch or table or whatever else she's holding on to to stand on her own.

It's snowing like crazy and while I'm grateful for the moisture it will provide...ENOUGH already! I'm done driving in the snow with crazy drivers that have no idea what they are doing. Bring on the spring.
