Back again...

My poor ignored little blog! There have been quite a few times that I wanted to come back to write but, just because I have left it for so long, I felt overwhelmed ;)

Quite a bit has happened since the last time I wrote: We were able to do some clever banking/mortgage revisiting/interest redirectment. All I have to say is "Shit- why didn't we think of this ages ago!". We're all back into the fall routine of school. I picked up an extra teaching contract so that money will come in very handy to pay for our trip to Denmark/Sweden next summer. Cool! We're all pretty excited! Well, maybe not Oliver. I don't think he gets that yet.

Speaking of Oliver, he has actually been "kind of" sleeping in his crib at daycare. Hell, I'll take any little step. He is still wanting to nurse at night. You would think that, after 2 children, I would be a pro at #3. I honestly have no idea on how to get him off night feeds, unless I wake the whole house up every night. Not very feasible!

Alexander is in grade 2 and Nicklas is in his final year at daycare. How time flies! It is amazing. Sometimes I look at their baby pictures, just to remind me. Not only does time fly but my brain cells are also dying by the minute...

A and I are busy with grant writing. Seriously, as much as I enjoy the writing, I think that the low success rates are pretty short sighted by those who hold the $$. They are not giving us "youngies" a fair and fighting chance- THIS is why we are moving on...

I will try to get better at posting pictures. Even if no one else ever reads this blog, I would like to keep it alive. Maybe the boys will be interested in it some day...
