Okay, I suck

I know, I know...A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE BLIZZARD OF '09! Between updating facebook for family, making albums for each month that goes by, AND raising two kids who are 18 1/2 months apart... I got "lazy". I'm sorry! :) Okay, so I've updated the right side of our blog, so you can see how much Molly and Gray have grown...and I'm going to start with trying to do the best I can at updating this thing from now on.

UPDATE:

Well, we had a baby girl on January 25, 2010. I was induced at 9:00 a.m. and at 3:33 p.m., Molly Emberlyn Lucius was born weighing 8 lbs 7 oz and 19 1/2 inches long! Since then, it's been feeding, diaper changing, dealing with screaming, cuddling, teaching, nurturing, kissing, pulling my hair out, zombie movements due to lack of sleep, and so on and so on...but it's been the best time of our lives!

Family Update:

I guess I should start by saying that my amazing Granddad Taylor passed away this year at the age of 89. The fortunate thing that I have to hold on to is that he got to know my babies before he left. I selfishly wish he were still here, but with every day that passes, I'm breathing a bit easier and can only hope my mom and her siblings are able to do the same.

Now...on to some GOOD news!

Chris has added so much to his plate along with being a daddy to two gorgeous kids. He's the COO of Mount Vernon Internal Medicine and without going into too many details, he's buying up a lot of Northern Virginia and is a HUGE asset to his company!

His mom, Debra, is enjoying the retired life while John, his dad, continues to count down to his final day of working...though that date is still unknown :)

Doug is stationed in Korea for a year, and Raquel is SUPER MOM working as an Art teacher while Taylor and Maddy grow to fast for our liking :)

My mom Kathy is teaching English at Lake Braddock still, and my dad Ralph got a new job back in February doing...well, if I tell ya, I've gotta kill ya ;)

My sister Sandy bought her first house in Tampa with her boyfriend Sal...(I like him a lot and think he's a keeper!)

My brother Jason graduated from West Point(HOOAH!) and is now stationed at Ft. Benning, GA...sleeping under the stars and waking up with frost all over him...fun, fun, fun!! I couldn't be more proud!

Crystal has been married for a year now and is still in Kansas City, MO...though we've tried VERY hard to get her to move back here :)

Me? Well I'm an at home mommy to two of the best babies I could ever have asked for! It's hard, I miss sleep, I'm frustrated some of the time, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I have the best support system in my family and friends, and I KNOW how lucky I am to be able to raise my children!

Okay, so that's the update...now onto real blogging!!
