I want to be a demigod!
Yes, I know, I'm a complete nerd. No one has to tell me that, I already know it. Now prefacing the blog with that note. I completely became addicted to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Now mind you, I have not seen the movie. Instead I grabbed the books because the movie looked good. (Books are alot easier to get to if you have kids...if you have kids you totally know what I mean.) Wow, I love them. Yes, it's young adult, and yes it deals with mythology, but the world is seriously very cool. I want to read more of them. I'm also afraid to see the movie now, because I'm afraid it won't do the story justice. Anyway, that's all. And yes, I've finished the whole series. So now you know why I've suddenly gone to saying "oh my gods" and "by Zeus!" :P
So now I have to find yet another series to tide me over until George RR Martin gets off his rear end and finishes his book, or until the next Wheel of Time book comes out...So I wait, wait, wait.

What will this year hold?
So, another year is upon us. Yes, I know, I should have posted this a month and a half ago, but I have a newborn, work, and school so meh!
We know that this year will contain the growing up of Tempe, she will be walking, most likely, by the end of the year. She'll get teeth, crawl, learn to eat, sit up, feed herself, all that fun stuff. I hope that she will continue to be the best little baby ever. She's asleep by 7 for the night, will wake up between 3-5am for a bottle, then back to sleep til 8. Awesome, isn't it? But the way she smiles, she lights up a room. She is so great. I owe everyone some updated pics. Maybe tomorrow?
What else do we know...
Mat, our little boy, will be going to kindergarten this year. 5 years old in June. Wow, how time flies. Also, most likely another surgery. Not for his eyes, but for his ears. The poor guy has had nothing but ear infections since early November. So we will see what the specialist says when we meet. He just wrapped up his first year of wrestling...so cute. Yes, again I owe pictures. He has his award ceremony tomorrow, so tomorrow or Wednesday! Other than that he's learning to read, counts by tens, and is doing fantastic.
What else do we know...
Scott went back to school for his bachelor's degree. Work, school and family, it's hard! So he's learning to balance them all and is doing very well!
What else?
I graduate in June with my Master's degree! YAY. I hope to lose the terrible baby weight, to be looking good for the other thing we know will happen...DISNEYWORLD in December! Mat's first trip to Disney.
So this year will be busy. Am I ready? As ready as ever. Though I have to admit, time flies by so fast and it is making me really sad. I see Mat getting older everyday and I am going to so miss him being four. Tempe is at a beautiful age, so innocent, so beautiful. She lights up a room with her gummy baby smile. She will be crawling in 3 months, eating solids in a month...I can't believe it.
So I am learning to make everyday their own, and to cherish everything that happens within it. Mat and Tempe will grow with each passing day, I need to enjoy and remember each one of those days.
