Last night, while out to dinner with my little family, I had someone tell me that he missed reading my blogs. I was so touched that he 1) reads my blogs, 2) enjoys them and misses them and 3) admits that he enjoys them. It was a major confidence booster and it inspired me to make some time in my ridiculous schedule to blog today.
My life has been hectic lately. We just bought a new car, a big SUV that seats 7. You know what that means… room for 4 more BABIES!!!
Jax likes it, for a car. He is getting better about being in the car. He still freaks out but he doesn’t act like someone is hurting him anymore, he just whines. The DVD player is helping a little… Hopefully he continues to improve because next month we are DRIVING to Florida to visit my parents. This is in no way, shape, or form my idea. My husband refuses to fly and refuses to leave the dog…. So if Jax and I want to see our Nana and Papa this is our only choice. Add us to your prayers now if you would please.
That’s another thing… My parents who I am super close to, just packed up and went to Florida for the next 3 months. They talked about it for years but I never thought it would actually happen. Seriously, I was in denial up until the day they left. I really didn’t think they would be able to leave me. Ok I didn’t think they would be able to leave Jax. And they almost didn’t. There are bets on how long my mom will last and I’m thinking whoever chose the shortest amount of time may win. She’s missing us. I am missing her too. I told her now my husband is going to realize she’s the one who has been cleaning my house the past 8 months. I kid… kinda.
I have been busy with writing, the real kind that pays. Without a babysitter now… which is like nearly impossible for me. And Jax has been busy growing. He is over 20 lbs now and at least 6 feet tall. He’s crawling, climbing, walking behind his push toy, and standing up for about 10 seconds at a time. He is working on some top teeth. He says ball, bye, hi… he makes fishy kissy lips, he screams.
When he’s doing something he shouldn’t and we say “Jax” he turns around and looks at us and says “bad boy”. We didn’t teach him that… he obviously picked it up from us scolding the dog. Time to watch what we say!!!
Sorry there was no creativity to this post whatsoever… I really hope to find some sort of schedule and a way to keep it all going here soon. If any SuperMoms have an extra cape I would LOVE to borrow it!

I wonder if hubby will regret driving to Florida? You will have to let us know how the trip goes………when we drove to Sydney in February when my granddaughter Sydney-May was just over a year old she played up a lot and drove her mother and aunt around the bend, she hates being in the car seat.
I do not know how I would cope if my parents moved far away from us we all live within a 15 minute drive from each other except for my youngest daughter who is a 20 minute drive from us.
I have missed you, too!
And boy, he is growing too fast! That is so funny that he says “bad boy!” What a smartie!
I hope you guys have a wonderful trip -and I hope seeing you makes your parents hurry up and come back soon!
If you find a good cape store, let me know. I need a couple – mine’s run ragged!
