It has been over three months since I posted last...yeah...i know i'm a slacker. My brain stopped working. You know how a blogger's brain works. You start walking around experiencing life, and as you experience things you think to yourself... "I think I'll blog about this". Then you go write a lengthy post about it and wait for the responses. There is something therapeutic about blogging and as I have been doing counseling in my internship I have advised some of my client's to blog about their problems in order to vent some of their frustrations. It feels good even to do these things anonymously so that others who don't know you can relate to want you are saying and normalize some of the freaky things we as humans go through. Unfortunatly for the last few months the mechanism in my brain that inspires me to blog hasn't been working. But the constant NAGGING from my family has encouraged me to start updating my life so that at least Elijah can get his pictures and videos out there. So I'm taking the advice I give to my clients am welcoming myself back into the blogging world. At least this way maybe I can vent about some things too.

Ok update...

I'm good...and BUSY!! Here is what I did today
7am - wake up with my little man and make breakfast. Shower, dress, get ready
8:30am- go to work (where I don't get paid because its an internship)
6:00 - get home late because I had a mini crisis at work today that put me behind schedule
6:15 -make dinner
7:00 - bathe Elijah and get him dressed
7:15 clean kitchen dishes
7:30 vacuum and put a load of laundry in the wash
8:00 put elijah to bed
8:15 clean a few more things around the house and get another load of laundry together
8:30 -more cleaning
9:00 get to finally sit down and just rest for a second, but I have some homework to do *sigh*

I'm so busy I can hardly breathe. I'm still doing school. I will graduate this December...YEAH! and I decided to be insane and start training for a relay marathon that I am running this Sunday in REALLY cold weather. I am so not looking forward to this.

Jeremiah has been back from Iraq for over 3 months now and things are doing really well. I love him so much! We have so much fun together and I definitely feel blessed to have him home with me.

Ok...Update on Elijah

Elijah is 14 months old now. He can say about ten words (although they all sound weird) and he has six teeth now. He isn't walking but I know he can do it. he walks around holding onto Jeremiah and I's finger. We aren't offering him any support it just seems he can't quite shed the training wheels yet. Elijah is such a little joy for Jeremiah and I. He is such a good natured baby and hardly fusses or complains. He is really social and loves being around other people. He will "talk" to you too in his own language! He is such a delight!

Ok...here are some pics for the viewing. I will TRY to update periodically.

Omg. Elijah LOVES spaghetti. He ate all of his spaghetti and then picked off remains from his tummy. Watch this video its SO cute!
