January

Yes, I know it's been a while. I just haven't had much to write about. Logan's six month checkup was yesterday. He is 19lbs 7 ozs (80%) and 27 and 3/4 inches (90%). We picked up Kylie's new glasses today. The shop repaired the old ones so that we would have a back-up when (not if) but when she breaks the new pair. Winnie the Pooh now has the old pair tied around his head. It looks ridiculous but she refuses to wear her new "eyes" unless Pooh wears "eyes" too. Whatever works, right?

We had company in town last weekend. Selena, Tyson, Emmett, Angie, Cory, and Alex came to visit. I love watching the kids play together. We went to eat Mexican Saturday night and I couldn't believe we had to get a table for TEN! We are multiplying. We left the men in charge on Saturday night and went to see Twilight. I have read all four books in the series and loved them. The movie was odd. I might go see New Moon but it will probably be more of a wait for DVD movie.

Hmm, What else? I'm going back to work next month. Not full-time. Only two days a week. I have a friend that is going to watch the munchkins two days a week on Mondays and Tuesdays. As with every decision I make, it took me forever to decide, and I still don't know if it is 100% the right decision but I'm tired of going back and forth about it. Eric said it must be exhausting to be me. Yes. It is. I'm not good with decisions, but he is on board with it and the extra money will be nice. It is hard to turn down any work in this economy. Eric's job is secure for now but who knows what the future holds. I'm sure a lot of the 70,000 people laid off on Monday thought their jobs were secure too. Better safe than sorry.
