The Bloggy Blog Blogger

AHHHHHH, we got our internet back up. What a relief. I love checking other's blogs and keeping "plugged in". It has really turned into an outlet for me, and a perfect way to drown out...I mean, relax with my hubby while he strums his second love. No really, Preston has always had his music as his vice, and now I can say that mine is BLOGGIN'. Dorky, maybe. A co-worker wrote on her site about having a goal to post at least 100 posts within the first year of starting. Well, I'm not sure how many posts I have so far, and I have been posting for over a year now, but I like the thought! It encourages me to write more!

Scooter poop is still scootin' and definately poopin' her way to becoming a two year old. Soon, she will be refusing to potty train, and telling me "NO" in three and four word sentences. I'll be honest, the 2s and 3s have always been a big nightmare of mine...not my favorite age. HOWEVER, there is too much to look forward to for me to outright dread this develpmental process. It is so amazing to me watching her progress. "No like it!" and "No want it!" is a new sentence we have been marveling in recently, but it is so adorable...what's not adorable is the off-the-charts, only-dogs-can-hear-it screaming. Happy or very very mad, it still sounds the same.

On a different note, and much sadder one too, a sweet family who many of us all new very well sadly lost their little boy to AML (leukemia) this morning. What a little fighter he was. We will all miss him terribly. Please pray for the Jones family. They are strengthened only by the Lord as they face the most difficult part of their battle.

Interesting that I should find out about our young mans passing this way, that's a first. But I am glad to know. He will be greatly missed.

On another note I am glad to know you are reading my blog occasionally, keep checking it because I will be working real hard to meet that goal.

Hang in there through this next phase of your little ones development. It really does get better, and sometimes even the bad parts can be seen as amusing (at a later time usually). See you at work.
