Laying Low...

I am going to try this again...

I had a nice little update written and I walked away for a minute and Benjamin deleted it. He is pretty interested in the computer these days. Anyway...

We are laying low right now. Keeping busy, but not really having much to report. We are FINALLY actively pursuing a new house. It's a very long overdue endeavor, as you all know. We have needed the space for a couple of years, but the prospect of moving with infant twins was not something we wanted to even think about. As the commutes get worse and worse with Atlanta's growth moving further and further North, we decided that now is the time. We are probably going to keep this house as a rental property, though. Rumor has it that Google will be putting a 10,000 job facility in our town, so we want to capitalize on that if at all possible.

Emma is going to be getting her blue belt in Karate this Saturday. It's a big deal because it's puts her half way to her black belt. She should have her Novice Black Belt in about 2 years, and her 1st Degree Black Belt by the time she is 8 if she works hard. She has some competitions coming up in the next couple of months, so I will keep you posted.

Sarah and Benjamin are doing well. They are evolving into little people! They are finally showing an interest in potty training, which scares me. I'm not sure I know how to potty train 2 two year olds. I think maybe Emma was easier because she was NOT two yet. And because there weren't 2 of her. They are talking up a storm. In fact, we have been discharged from speech therapy. We knew it was coming since they are not only caught up now, but ahead! Yay! They love their school. They ask for their teacher, "Meanie" (her name is Ms. Bhavini) all the time when they are not there, especially when they are mad at me. So far, despite being in school 5 days a week, they haven't gotten sick very much. A couple of colds and ear infections, one bout (Sarah) with pneumonia (no hospital, though) and that's it. Benjamin does have to have his adenoids removed, but we have been expecting that.

We are considering getting a nanny again when we get a bigger house. We may have jumped the gun a little in giving that up. I think I would probably rather have a housekeeper...

Mainstream Media is a single entity now after many, many months of making it happen. That should make life easier for everyone in the long run. Golf is next to publish. The bowls went well. We are certainly glad to have David home from his travels for awhile.

I am gearing up for the MOD Walk. I am on a volunteer planning committee this year which should be fun. The kickoff luncheon is on Wednesday and I'm guessing that from that date until the Walk I will be pretty busy with that stuff. Just a funny tidbit... The mother of the coordinator for WalkAmerica, here in Atlanta, is the principal of Jackson Elementary School in Batavia, NY where I spent my 1st 6 years of school. It is a small world!

Anyway, that is our life right now!
