That's how many days it has been since I last posted in this blog. In fact, I had forgotten it even existed, until I logged in today in search of another start-and-fail blog I created. Although I didn't post a whole lot, I loved reading about Makayla's big eyes and loud screech. The eyes I remember, but the screech, she passed that on to her brother and I had forgotten she was the screech-originator. Of course, when I say she passed it on to her brother, I mean the newest addition to our family. In May of 2010, Jared and I welcomed a second son into our family. Weston is an absolute doll. He's a spunky thirteen-month-old now, and he makes me smile every single day with his goofball personality. We also moved 3 more times since I last posted we were moving. Two of those moves were local moves in Milwaukee, but the third move was a big one. At the end of last year we decided to pick our family up and move down south. Jared is from the south, and has wanted to return to his roots for years. So we finally did it, and we are now settled in sunny Charlotte, North Carolina.
Ashton just finished kindergarten, and through a lottery system was selected for an awesome charter school next year. We were so happy to learn he'd gotten in, because the odds were not in our favor. At the time of the lottery, they didn't have any open spots for first grade, but they had 110 applicants. We ended up as number three on the waitlist, and about a month after the lottery we got the call that they had a first grade spot for him. My friend Shannon has a daughter that got in as well, for kindergarten, so both Ashton and I are excited to have a friend to start the new school year with.
I'm certain I'm leaving many things out, but I'll have to come back another time. These kids need to eat!
I'm Bored. Sue Me.
