BUT
Soooo much has happened.
The school year has ended, so that means I have the summer off from teaching. (YEAH!!!) They say that the best 3 things about teaching are JUNE, JULY, and AUGUST. I do love my job, but I was really ready to be home with my two little rugrats for a while.
CQ turned 3 at the end of May. She is now TOTALLY potty trained and...
we are in the "Thinking" stages of a big girl bed.
Isn't this cute?
We have remodeled some rooms in our house...
wood floors over 1600 sq. ft. on the entire first floor, we changed our countertops and now they are granite, we installed cubbies in the laundry room to make it a true MUDROOM. Good Work Daddy!I got a new SUV and even though it's big, I love it. I'll be sure to be GREEN in other ways...promise!
Best of all, the relationship with my son, has always (actually instantly) been wonderful.
The relationship with my daughter has been so hard b/c of all of the attachment and behavioral issues that she has had. I am pleased to report that she is doing amazing. I mean amazing. I know that she will still have her moments here and there, but it's truly unbelievable what research, soul searching, structure, and support will help you through. It's not even like she is the same kid. I can't even put into words how much happier I AM and I'm sure she is now that we've turned this corner. I also think it's amazing that at 1 and 2 years of age a child can work to make these changes as well. I always say that CQ has been the very hardest job of my entire life. Really no words to describe my emotions...just love. More hard work on the way I'm sure, but right now I'm lov'in it.
I have finally been able to check up on so many bloggers that I haven't seen or heard from in a while. So many babies coming home right now and that makes me happy. Of course summer is always very slow Russia.
I hope all is well with everyone.
I also hope to keep updates coming regularly this summer! :)

Finally! I've been checking in on you :) And, you're right - we will miss the KF reunion this year, but will be so thrilled to reunite with our little man. We will definitely plan to be there next year.
Thanks for your support.
