Twinkle, twinkle

I just thought I'd post some pictures of my little Star. We just love this girl!




Miss Fabulous got home from school towards the end of my little "photo shoot" so I had her lay down with Star. I have two very beautiful girls! Star has started "talking" and smiling a lot more with a giggle here and there. She stretches a LOT especially when we pick her up which makes it a little harder to hold on to her! She has been sick lately but has smiled through it all. Miss Fabulous is really good with her sister! She wants to help feed her and hold her. She's very good about running to get things for me. The only thing...she doesn't like to leave Star alone when she's sleeping. Star doesn't seem to mind, but I do. :0)
MF is also doing well in school except for a few behavior issues. We are working on it but I'm not sure we can do much at home since the problems have to do with how she works with other children. Yes, she was our only child for a very long time and yes, she has been spoiled but we have tried to teach her how to cooperate with others and work together. We are also now having to emphasize that she knows what is right and true and just because someone else does something naughty doesn't mean she gets to do it too. Ah, the drama of kindergarten. What would life be without it? Probably very dull.
Oh...Happy Halloween! Hope it is a safe and fun one for you all! I'll post pictures of the girls when I get them taken and loaded.

I can't believe how old she looks already. Maybe it's the hair but if I didn't know when she was born I would think she was 6-8 months old!

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
