Breaking the Silence

2 months without writing I should better have a really good excuse right? Well life has been a little different for us since the end of August. Mike and I made a very hard decision and for the better of our family he had to leave his current job. The road has been bumpy and we are still unsure where we are going but for now we are staying with his parents and life as we know it is still moving forward. Decisions in life aren't always easy and this these past few months have been proof of that.

Our children of course our are shining light and they still bring so much happiness and joy in our lives that sometimes things just seem perfect. There is no way I will be able to catch up on all the cuteness over the past couple months but I will so my best.



Living with my in-laws is going well, the kids seem to have adjusted very well and overall we still have a lot of privacy and the kids don't seem to be overwhelming Grandma and Grandpa too much!

Helping out with the cleaning

Halloween was hilarious as ever. Leo was a Ninja turtle and this year he was really into trick or treating(no shyness what so ever) racing door to door yelling trick or treat as he is running up the driveway.

Lily just enjoyed her wagon ride as red riding hood.

I started working at Kohls again for some extra money while we figure our which direction Mike wants to go. I haven't worked there in 7 years and life has changed for (just a bit!) and going to work while my kids stay home with Mike is challenging to say the least. I go really early so that I can get a full shift in and be home by lunch time. That way they really don't notice me away too much. So far it is working great and the discount is nice too ;) 

BIG NEWS ALERT: In these past two months Lily has become a completely independent walker! Her physical therapy has made her progress so far in such a little time. Walking (sometimes even running) playing games, eating all on her own. She is a full fledged toddler now and sometimes I can't even keep up with her. Busy days ahead.


Potty training time?



Leoisms are also getting hilarious as ever:


Leo: I have  a cold in one of my holes (while sticking his finger up his nose) which hole are sick in?

One morning while laying in bed he turned over to Mike "Daddy! you forgot to brush your teeth! You smell like a kunk!"


"oopsy daisy" is in constant use. 

A older gentlemen was saying hi to Leo one day while we were eating lunch and Leo very nicely smiled at him and felt the need to tell him "I am just shy to people"

He has to eat 3 of everything since that is how old he is.

He has become quite he singer, he sings along with almost every show song or commercial and he loves picking out the radio station in the car. 

We met a friend of Grandma's today named Dorothy and he refused to call her anything but "dorky"

If he doesn't like whatever you are feeding him he likes to tell you that it make his tummy "rumble" 

One day he wanted to watch tv in the kitchen while I was making his plate and I told him it would be boring since only news was on his response "I know! How about commercials!? I LUB commercials!"
