As life goes on...
Such as life in Pennsylvania, we are expecting a snow storm. Yes, I said a snow storm in the middle of October! I'm really not ready for this. I don't like the snow and ice and cold to begin with but to get it in the middle of October? BUT, we haven't really had any seasons all year. We went from frigid cold to really cold to cold back to really cold and now its going to be frigid cold again. Summer came and went without a lot of hot weather and fall was here and gone.

My Baby turned 6 today.
Well my baby turned 6 today. My where did the time go!? It feels like only yesterday I was in labor with him and holding him in my arms for the first time!

He's happier now than I think he's ever been and on really good days my children cooperate.

It's official...
I'm a soccer mom! I have to say its pretty invigorating to know that I'm in a place in my life where I'm finally happy. For so many years, I felt lost and that I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I first was in school for psychology which I loved but I'm not sure if I loved the classes or
