I am really going to try to write in this blog more than once every 3 months! but i can’t make any promises- i have too many other resolutions I am trying to keep! Whew! I think we have finally recovered from the holidays- it took a full week of being back to get back to normal life! the kids had a BLAST in Louisiana- they loved spending time with their cousins. Eli would cry every time he had to seperate- he is definatly like me- he thrives on being around other people! He loves the interaction! other than a few minor altercations with Sam- all is well- (Monique, a friend of mine tells me that biting means they are advanced!) The weather in Louisana was so, so- we did get to swim some- which was a plus- and we did not have to wear coats all the time! The highlights of the trip was going to the saints games, and the family hunt. and new years eve, was fun, first the saints game, then dinner in the french quarter at antiones! When we got home ben michael kept asking me to have christmas again! he wanted to re deocorate the house- he was very upset as I took everything down- and put the tree outside!

Now that we are back- Ben Michael has started back at Country Day 2 days a week- and at Learning is Fun for 2 days- Fridays are our day off- unfortantly he just asks to go to school on friday, saturday and sunday too!

Eli will start back at Jone’s 2 days a week this week- and we will do some parent child classes a couple of days of week.  He is proving to be a challenging two year old for us- this morning in church as I looked around at other families with kids the same age- all i could wonder is what am I doing wrong?? Eli’s mouth, legs and feet did not stop moving the entire hour! Sitting still would be like chinese tourture for him! i just keep my head down and try not too look around. I also tried to threaten him that I would make him sit in the cold- whatever!!!
