Mommy, Mommy, Mommy

Ah, yes...my almost forgotton blog...it has been ages since I actually posted anything. It seems like it has almost been impossible to get a moment alone and the computer free to do anything. If Natalie is awake it seems she demands my attention. She is very into reading books and constantly brings them to me even though we have read them over, and over, AND OVER! I am happy that she likes to read books. At 12 months it seemed like she was busy exploring her world and that kept her busy. She is done exploring and wants to move onto new frontiers. Like, ring around the rosies with Mommy, reading with mommy, playing peek-a-boo with Mommy. Pretty much anything WITH MOMMY. So thus, I am excited to move onto whatever her next stage might be, like maybe, pretend play by herself or something that does not include me in all the waking hours. Alright, I have whined enough. Life has been pretty much the same. I am ready for spring so we can spend some time outside. I need to get involved in some things around here so I don't go crazy. I have a few acquaintances here but no real friends as of yet since moving to Twin Falls. I am grateful to all my friends and family who I can call and talk to, and for facebook messages or your blog updates that help me feel connected to dear friends and family. I loved getting Christmas letter updates from friends. I am so grateful for the special friendships I have made over the years. With your true friends, it doesn't matter how much time has passed or the distances you have lived, I feel like we can just pick up where we left off. I have been so blessed with friendships that I am sure started before I came to earth and will continue after this life. Thank you so much! Okay I am crying now, so time to move on.
