long overdue....

Basically, life is busy.  We are caught up in being parents, business owners, home owners and our own selves. We are missing out on a few things: vacations, time to blog, sleeping in, and those days where you wake up and can't decide what to do. I would kill for one of those!

Parents: the kids are getting so big! Sid turned two in July and is a talking machine. It is a great age where you can actually start communicating better with your child as they start to use words and can better express their emotions. Sid likes to jump up and down really hard and throw himself onto the floor - when he gets upset for you doing such parental duties such as keeping him away from a hot stove, taking away the scissors, scolding him for taking a gulp of your wine.  You know, those parental duties. He finally got his first haircut too. Not too much and I am told by a certain someone that he still looks like a girl. The comments have cut down a  bit about 'her.' Lola is going to turn 5 soon. Sometimes I think she is trapped in the body of a twenty year old. She knows it all! I promise, because she tells me all the time.  She doesn't start kindergarten until next year, but she can't stop writing or spelling. We S-P-E-L-L everything!  She still loves to dress up  and wear everyone else's shoes.  I think some of it is rubbing off on Sid.

Business Owners: We just moved EcoReno into a bigger, more visible location. It has been great! We are able to get a few more lines and some different things in. Overall, things are continuing to be good and keeping us very busy!

Home Owners: Nothing new around that actual Tiar house. Well, a new car. We sold the Eurovan and bought a minivan. It has been a little adjusting and despite my hesitation, I really like it. It will be very handy with company in town or any additional passenger as anythign else will lend no room with the two car seats.

Me:  Busy.  Really.  I like it though and all for a good reason.  Just hope that it all pays off.
