Yes, I am still alive

To the three or four loyal followers of this blog I know that I haven't posted in almost a month. Life has been crazy and by the time I get to the computer to actually post something or put up some pictures I am ready to go to bed. Number 1 is busy with gymnastics and school. In fact we just completed a homework assignment. She is getting way too big too fast. She used big girls scissors (a.k.a. Mom's) to cut apart her apples and than glued the correct number to the different trees. She did it perfectly without any help. Number 2 is really starting to become a little communicator...at least to those that she will talk to. She is still quite shy until she opens up. Once she has decided you are okay and she likes you, you had better watch out. Hubby is keeping busy with his motorcycle and work. This is not to mention the second full time job that he has of taking care of number 2 most days. I have crazily decided to go back to school in January to work on my specialist degree. Hubby and I figured I should do it while the girls are still young enough not to be scarred by Mommy's absence once or twice a week. It will take me about two years to complete the degree and then I will have a specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I plan to go back to the same college that I got my undergraduate degree from. There is a lot to be said about going to a college where there isn't commute that lasts between twenty minutes and two hours. Also, it pays that I already know the faculty and Dean really well. So, while there are no pictures today there is an update. Some time I hope to upload pictures of our great camping trip that we took a few weeks ago. I also have some family reunion and cook out pictures to add. And yes, there are even a few of number 1 in the "leotards" that have been discussed previously. Oh, and Halloween costumes. They are perfectly gorgous and the girls look beautiful in them. They are growing up so fast. It seems like I open my eyes each morning to different kids.
