It's been .... how long???

I know it's been awhile... I am reminded often of how far we have come and I will never not appreciate that fact!  As Lexi begins elementary school, I find myself just wanting to make time stand still!  Just tonight, I found myself looking at old pictures and videos of our first days with Lexi. Honestly, each and every day we are reminded at how much she has grown and thrived despite our non-perfect parenting.  We know we are as blessed.  She loves us to a fault and we do so in return.  We love her smile... her laugh... and even her habit of wanting to sleep with us even if she just seems to want to push those little feet into our backs!  She is amazing and we can't imagine life without her!  That said, I'll certainly try to get back into the swing of blogging again!  I love how it documents the ordinary memories of our life!

Two Days in a row! Amazing!

We are coming down to the last few days of tax season!  THANKFULLY!! One thing I can do during  this time is get Lj to bed and cook dinner so that Geoff can eat when he gets home and possibly have lunch for the next day.  I've fallen short on this the last few weeks.  Last week I was on Spring Break but spent all of it sick.  This week we've had something to do every day.  Monday. We took a visit to immediate med because I have lost my hearing in my right ear from last weeks infection.  (It just never ends!). So today, my late day, both Lj and I were more up for our normal routine.  Once we got home I began cooking dinner.  She was such a joy to have around!  She played, sang, and helped cook.  Then I put her in the tub where she continued to play.  I finally got her down about 8:45!  I know much to late!  One thing Lexi has done every since our adoption has been nap on a schedule.  She still needs it but the past 2 days have been different.  Hopefully she is getting used to less sleep. We had a great afternoon without Miss Cranky Pants.  Here's hoping for more non-cranky afternoons!

Is it really April?

I hate to admit it but my blogging hiatus has been kind of nice.  I didn't plan it. It just happened.  Life gets more complicated every day with our little Lj!  That's not a bad thing, it just means we are busy enjoying our days with her.  I'm still not going to promise timely posts but I will try to do better.  I DO find myself posting on FB more lately just because I can more easily post from anywhere.

This is an impromptu post so I'm just going to go from here and find some pictures from our iPad to try to update the past months.
