Hello? Anybody there?

So, let's see.... It's only been about three months since I last posted. Where have I been, you ask? I could regale you with reasons why my life has been so crazy that I haven't been able to post, I could tell you that I fell down a well and have been in the hospital with a coma and no idea who I was, or I could be honest and say that blogging just hasn't been a priority and it slipped through the cracks.

So what have I been doing, you ask? Well, you know - things, life, whatnot. Life is not whatnot and it's none of your business. (name that movie!)

Mostly I've just been enjoying my kids. They're getting bigger and smarter and cuter and funnier and happier and cuter and smarter and funnier and...and...they're just a lot of fun right now. And the best part? They really like each other too! Just the other day, Elliot didn't want to go outside and play until Betsy could join him. He'd RATHER play with her! How did that happen? WHEN did that happen? And how do I make it stay?

But it's not all rainbows and smiles around here either. We finally have a potty-trained four-year-old. It took roughly 15 MONTHS before Elliot would use the toilet on his own all the time. It was a long excruciating process and not one I would like to repeat. But it's over. He's potty trained. He can go to kindergarten and not be the first kid to go in diapers.

And now that he's potty trained, I have gone wild. He's signed up for soccer, T-ball, swimming lessons and summer preschool. And the best part? Betsy's signed up for sibling care during Elliot's preschool. This summer, for 2.5 hours each week, I will be CHILDLESS. Awwww, yay. That's right. For almost three hours each week my children will become someone else's responsibility! I can't wait!
