I’m being hassled again because I haven’t posted in such a long time.  (Your time is coming, Abby!)  And, I’ll admit that I regret not posting more often because there have been too many funny/cute stories of my kids in the last 3 months that I can no longer do justice in a blog.

So, since I’ve returned back to work, life has been a little busy.  When we find a few minutes of relaxation, Brian and I usually find ourselves sleeping since Connor still isn’t sleeping through the night.  (Oh, we’ve come close to a full night, but we’re still awaiting the day.)  Connor is an adorable, sweet, mostly happy baby.  He smiles and squeals all of the time.   He’s rolling over one way, sitting by himself, and just starting the crawling movements.  He loves being tickled and kissed; he breaks out into belly laughs and chuckles every time.  He does not seem to like baby food at all, which is a little disappointing.  Connor loves his momma, though, and boy, do I love him!!!

While Connor isn’t quite on the move, he keeps us in constant motion (he still likes to be carried/moved everywhere) as does his precious big sister.  Olivia has entered the terrible 2′s a little early–one minute she’s an angel who’s the best mommy’s helper and sister ever, and the next minute, she’s crying, throwing a tantrum, or hurting Connor or Keira.  The chaos is only beginning.  She’s also turned into a singing, precocious daredevil and imitator–climbing onto everything, jumping off of it, singing “twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” or “A,B,C’s” while she does it.  (She also counts to 10.)  She still loves baby dolls, and she’s getting more inventive with them and her other toys.

Brian and I are doing well; mostly, we’re just getting through the work day as happily as we can (luckily, I’m enjoying my classes a lot this year!) and spending as much time with the kids and Keira before the atrocious hours of night grading.  We have managed to get out a few times thanks to our families.  Unfortunately, during our last night out, I broke my hand dancing at a wedding in Memphis, which, needless to say, has complicated our lives even more.  It’s nice not to have to change diapers or wash dishes, but I miss typing normally and holding my babies easily.  Ah well, it’s geting better everyday, and, thankfully, my sister just spent spring break with us to help me out while Brian was working.

Enjoy the pictures.  Lots of personality!
