Catch Up

I'm intending to start over. Really I am. One of the hard things about re-entry into the blogosphere is that I feel a need to catch you up on where our life has been since I left.

So, I'm just ridding myself of that pressure right now. I imagine that through my subsequent posts, you'll just pick up where we are. I guess you should know a few basic things:



1. We're finally home! After months of stalking down a foreclosing home in our immediate neighborhood, we finally sealed the deal and moved our family this past June. In the interim, we'd lived in a tinylittleapartment for about 6 months. Throughout this whole process, we lived within about one mile radius of our initial town house!



2. Our kids are wonderful!
Tommy is growing up. He's approaching school-age, at 4.5, and yesterday actually copied a word other than his name for the first time. It was "Emily."

Lucy is nearly 3 and still inching her way towards total potty-trainedness. She is a skilled social gal, and I have no doubt that she'll be making her own introductions in this world by next week.

Jimmy is 16 months old, and just the twinkle in my eye right now. This is the 1st time I've ever had a baby this age without being nearly ready to deliver another one, so I am really enamored with my baby. He's starting to talk (about 50 words, but who's counting?), and he's also starting to get into mischief!
