sometimes i forget how to post. that's pretty sad. but i thought this was worth it. IAN LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!!!! i can't believe it. and to think it happened while he was with a babysitter. what are the odds?!? i'm pretty mad about that part of it, but i'm so happy it happened! my boy is growing up! wow. i don't feel old enough for that. crazy stuff being a mom. well, i think the picture says it all. have a great one.

i still love ian...


but i didn't get any pics of him this time. he knows i love him. i was telling sarah about how cute abby was, and she said, "well then, just put pictures online if she's that cute!" i guess she doesn't believe me, so here goes. doubt me now, sarah? didn't think so.

Ian's tooth is loose!!!!










well, i just thought i'd start right in like i haven't been missing for about 2 months. but i was really wanting the last thing sarah said to me to be "good bye. i love you." it sounds so much nicer than the usual "bye. blog." click. so here you go, sarah. thanks for telling some people that i posted. always enjoy to internet traffic. i just get really bored writing the same thing over and over. ian had a soccer game today (he won and played great), sarah is all girl and dressed up as a cheerleader for the game (thanks for the outfit, christy), and abby is right in the middle of the two personalities. i feel like she's going to be a tricky one when she gets older. she was too easy of a baby.

okay, in order of birth, not importance. dean is getting all healthy and in shape. i'm so proud of him. he runs and does yoga and pilates with me. his job is going fine. i'll let you know if there is an update on our location probably by monday. we might be moving closer to the family soon. he's happy either way. he's also very excited about our little business venture. it's way too tricky to get into, but it's taking up most of our free time and he loves it. it's made him less stressed out at work, so i already think we've won. someday i'll be explaining more about it.

now me. uhm, i've been a little stressed out lately b/c i don't know if we'll be moving soon and if so, i'll probably have to stay here for a little bit with the kids while ian finishes school. that will be an adventure. i will be a little sad to leave this place b/c it's my favorite place i've ever lived, and that's saying a lot. but of course being closer to family is way better. i've gotten really into yoga. i can officially do a real, elbows in push-up. i'm not sure i've ever been able to. my arms are actually getting a little definition. yay. the kids took some pictures of me doing a few poses this morning. feel free to try them. it's pretty fun. and a great workout.

ian's tooth is loose!!!! did i mention that? i'm not old enough to have an awkward, toothless kid. i'm happy and ridiculously astonished about the whole thing. ian played a great game of soccer and scored a few goals. he told me after a game of two of the season that he didn't really like soccer and that he was more of a gymnast. he was welcome to tell me that before we signed him up, but he's sticking out the rest of the season, with only one game left.

(dean just called and we have a meeting tonight i have to get ready for so this will get really brief.)

sarah and abby are great. cute as ever. abby's toenails just got painted for the first time and they are adorable. she's so confused by it but loves it. sarah starts school in a couple of months. yikes. i won't know what to do with just abby at home. i'll let the pictures do most of the updating. sarah and ian and abby all love to do yoga at home with me. it's great. bye now.

Oh my.












we'll just say that i'm exhausted. physically, mentally, semi-emotionally. and blogging hasn't been at the top of my to-do list. sorry, you three precious ladies. any more is nothing but a bonus. i am so ready for bed that i'm just going to make this a picture post. this weekend seems like such a better time for updating. and i might even title it "update." b/c sarah loves when i do that. so here are some pics from the last couple of months. i just got my hair colored and cut today and thought i'd show you a few of those pics too. it's hard to get a good pic of it, but dean and i tried. love y'all.

Happy birthday, Sarah D.


well, for post number 103, i'd thought i'd dedicate this to sarah. maybe by the time she reads this, she will be feeding her little boy. i can't wait to meet little joseph daniel!! and mike and his family are on their way to texas!! so many exciting things to look forward to. It's going to be a good month of february.

so i just put some random pictures on here. ian had to create a shirt for school with 100 things on it to celebrate, what else, their 100th day of school. everything in school is a celebration. what happened to senior graduation being the first really exciting thing? those days are over. also, there are some pics of us at The Zone for a birthday party. Mckinney is full of bounce house places. And isn't Dean looking extra handsome these days? I'm pretty sure it's not just me. That boy is so full of neatness. I do love him. Okay, that's it. Love everyone.
