the anti-home body

not much to update about. things have been relatively slow around these parts. yesterday i stayed home all day and it may have been really hard for me. does anyone else out there hate being home? (i wonder if that says something about me.) everyday i try to get out whether it be the park, target, nannie's, the mall, the grocery store, or even just to get lunch. i love my home and all but being here all day is no good for kenna. i did however manage to deep clean 1/2 of my house which is a feat if you know me. here's what else is going on....

jude is in an awkward stage... he is between napping and not napping. i know i am lucky that he has napped consistently this long but i really loved those 2 hours of silence, mostly because i would nap too. i did wind up enrolling him in pre-school and look forward to that in the fall. jude seems really excited about going to applebee's (as he calls it) and i think some social interaction with peers his age will do wonders for him. i am trying to convince myself that i do actually like my own 3 year old most the time. love yes, like who knows, depends on the hour of the day. we are however best friends.

greta is a crazy woman. she is known around these parts as "party girl", she is the paris hilton of white city. she is still the sweetest baby in northern america but when she wants to party you better be ready. most of the time she wants to party around 1:30am and although her kicking legs, bouncing body, and squeals are adorable it's starting to get a little old. her sleep schedule is out of control and she is up through out the night and when i say up, i mean up and ready for a party. greta loves her dad and no one can make her squeal in delight quite like he can. i love my little angel party girl. she is making HUGE strides with her development. she is now bearing weight on her legs, will get into the hands and knees crawling position, backwards scoots, and will sit alone doing a balancing act on her horse toy. i am thrilled to the gills and cannot wait to see what she does next. 

oh and these girls? they have got nothing on grets when it comes to flexibility, nothing!

us grownup's are hanging in there. in marriage (as you know) you have ups and downs. right now we are in between that. i never knew having kids would be so good for your marriage and so bad that the same time. i feel that most of the time i am a better mother than a wife and trevan is a better husband than a father. senor is a wonderful man and i am lucky to call him my own. the other day when a certain sibling of mine was fighting with their spouse and probably the in-law spouse was to blame, i told my mom that i was the problem in our marriage. i start most fights, complain the most, and my medicated emotional state can sometimes get out of hand. sweet trevan is always there to calm me down and be one my side. senor is like a river always constant and knows the direction to go. i am more like the ocean sometimes calm with my ebbs and flows and other times i am a tsunami. he is not perfect but is the far more perfect mate in our equation. so, i am sorry senor. stupid financial woes are always the reason for our fighting and i wish that it wasn't the case. we are working hard at doing everything right and hopefully it pays off. the good news is that we are in this thing together and i for one would not want to be in it with anyone else.

so that fellow bloggers is what is new for the day.
