This is it! Ya! I’m really excited about learning how to make this site into what I want it to be. Unfortunately I haven’t had a lot of time to devote to it, but I’m hoping I will soon. For now here are the updates:

Me: It’s been hard with Brandon out of town, but I’m surviving. Luckily I have a lot to keep me busy which makes it a little easier. I’ve had a bit of a cold the past few days but nothing too serious. Earlier this month Brandon and I had decided that it would cost too much for us to fly him home for Thanksgifing and Christmas and that we’d both rather him be here for Christmas so I had resolved myself to the fact that I wouldn’t get to see him until then. But Saturday Brandon called and said his boss had bought him a ticket to come home for Thanksgiving to partially make up for all of the long hours Brandons been working! YAHOOOOO! Most of the weekend the girls will be with their dads so I’m looking forward to a weekend spent relaxing and watching movies with Brandon. Both the girls will be with us Friday so he will get a chance to see them.

Jasmine: Continues to heal just fine. She’s really upset that she can’t do a lot of the things she’d like to do, like participate in gym, but I explained again to her why we had to do the surgery and that it was the best option we had to ensure that she’ll be healthy as she gets older. In school she’s doing well, for awhile she was having a hard time paying attention but I think we’ve nipped that in the bud.

Nyah: is . . . . well Nyah! She loves school and has a great time there. She wants to go everyday, but unfortunately can’t until next year. I’ve volunteered in her class a few times and it’s really fun to watch her interact with all the other little kids her age. She continues to blow me away with how smart she is. Her latest thing is trying to spell words, and asking how to spell everything.

Bella and Lefty: are also doing well, although I think before long I might go crazy with Bella. She’s in all out tantrum mode, I think because I’ve been so busy and haven’t been home as much as she’d like me to be. So she has been chewing up everything she can get her mouth on. I’m also looking for ways to train her to stop barking when I tell her to if anyone has any suggestions!

Well that’s it for now, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and that I get the chance to see you all over the long weekend.
