WOW!

Has it really been since April 2010 that I last posted?? Where the heck did the last 2 years go?? When I look around, it is obvious life has no pause button. Our lives have changed so much since my last post, both for the good and for the bad. We have had family trips taking Logan to his first Texas Rangers baseball game, eating at restaurants we have seen on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, swimming lessons, museums, birthday parties, family gatherings, graduations, baby showers, weddings, new pets...and the list goes on. One of our biggest heartbreaks was the loss of my mother-in-law. Not only was she the rock for her husband and children (my husband being 1 of 4 children) but the biggest fan for her three grandchildren. We all called her MeMo and there isn't a day that goes by that she isn't missed. There are so many things she is not here to see and hear, that we always say "MeMo would have loved that....or....MeMo would be so happy to see that...and on and on. In the last two years, Michael has started working for another Electrical Engineering company and is much happier and doing great there. I am still working for the same agency, but did graduate with my MBA in May 2011. Hard to believe I was managing a full time career, taking care of an infant and finishing my Masters degree. But I finally did it and am soo happy it is over!! Logan turned 3 this year which is also hard to believe. It seems as though I just returned to work from being on maternity leave!! Logan was walking by the time he was 1....talking non-stop by the time he was 2 and shortly after was potty trained. No more diaper bag for us!! That is one accessory I don't miss. But of course as a mom, you always have toys, hand wipes, extra under-roos and shirts cause you just can't take a chance. We have had a lot of good things happen during this time, which helps ease the bad. However, every bad thing brings to light the blessings we do have and how we take them for granted. We have suffered a lot of loss in our family during the last two years, leaving us with our memories. Loss of family and friends. We have celebrated new life as well. And prayed for those who asked for strength and forgivness. Logan had surgery, which kept us in the hospital for three LONG days. And now he is experiencing medical problems that we have no answers for yet, but will in the near future. Many people blog or journal their life events and can do it everyday. I vow to myself not to wait another 2 years to reflect back. Hopefully I can manage a post a week. If I keep this blog going, Logan will be able to look back at our posts and say, "Mom, I can't believe you said that about me!". Yes son, I will say it and I will post it. And if I'm lucky, I will have a photo to go with it. Here's to the last two years of our lives and to many years in the future. Cheers!
