While we've been away...

I know it's been awhile, whether or not I've been missed might be a different story, but I've had a chance to update... so here I go.

Yes. We have been busy but the real reason for the delayed post is a malfunctioning computer... UGH! We have not had much luck with that in the past two years. I think there is a desktop in our future. We STILL are waiting for repairs so we've used my ipod for any email/internet checking. All of the sudden, I've had some more time on my hands. perhaps spending too much time online? Well, maybe. It has been refreshing actually. Except when I need to look something up or send someone a message.

here is what you've all missed ...

1. Much time spent in the pool ... Amelia is loving swimming, jumping off the side, and splashing mommy.

2. I had some outpatient surgery. Nothing too big and nothing huge to recover from but yes, I had to go under for the first time in my life... Feeling normal and thankful for a wonderful doctor.

3. James found out he passed his last and final test of his actuarial exams! Praise the Lord. No more studying, no more looking for ways to pass the time waiting for him to be done studying, no more putting things off because of time studying... So grateful and so excited for him. He has a few more "projects" to finish before he gets a change in his letters, but those wont take too much time. Oh, and by the way, average age of people who make it through... 30; James ... 24! He is awesome!

4. Amelia turns two in TWO DAYS! I feel like this year she has grown and changed so much it's unbelievable to think about her last year at this time... Talking, walking, running, climbing (never still) Goofy, with a great sense of humor and continues to impress us with how much she knows and remembers. She is learning her lower case letters right now. (why we have to have 2 completely separate alphabet, I don't know) She's almost got them all. We are so thankful for her and the little person she's becoming. As soon as we get the computer up and running.. I'll post pictures from her Mickey Mouse Party.

Welp, there's a quick update... and hopefully we will be fully functional within the week!
