It's been awhile...
It was a crazy summer with the birth of a niece and the loss of the 4-unit townhome that housed my husband's parents, grandparents, and aunt and uncle (fire caused by a lightning strike). They are now living in rentals while the building is being rebuilt.
My husband had classes through the summer, so no extended vacations for us.
Josh started kindergarten in the fall, which he loves! His teacher is great!
I came to the realization that my child is no longer beginning to read. He is a reader! He popped his head over my shoulder the other day and began reading my book out loud. Any suggestions for some good boys' books? I grew up with Laura Ingalls Wilder; is there a male equivalent?
On Christmas Day, our car broke down. Its Blue Book value is $2500 and the repairs will cost $3000. Which means it's time to go car shopping. I will miss that car. It was a plastic-body 2002 Saturn and still looked new. We bought it 2 months before Josh was born, 6 years and 1 month ago.
Looking forward to a new year, and hoping it's a bit quieter. =)
