Back in the game

After some major arm twisting, side nudging, eyelash batting, adult whining, I decided that I would get back to the blogging world.
The kids do so many "blogworthy" things, and I could kick myself in the hiney for not writing all of their -isms down.  Now, there is no excuse. 

So where did I leave off?  Oh yeah - at Miles coming home from the NICU two and a half years ago.  WOW.  Let's see, quick recap: Graham is 4, Miles is 2, Jeff is still older than me, and I am still in my 20's.  :)  We are still in Ocala and loving it.  We have an awesome church family, and after 3.5 years (has it been that long??) I finally feel like we have found our niche.  In February, I started a new job at a hospital here in Ocala and I.love.it.  More than I love a St@rbucks skinny vanilla latte, or new fabric, or a fresh pedi, or feathers in hair.  I mean, I love it.  It's so nice being on a normal schedule again -like Monday - Friday.  

Graham is known as the school Mayor, he knows everything about everyone.  I wonder who he gets that from?  Graham is pretty much a mini-me.  :)  Except he loves Star Wars, and well, I just don't get it.  He's a master Lego builder, great little artist, a space nerd expert...no seriously - he can tell you who walked on the moon, how many missions have taken place, and that when a space shuttle comes back to Earth it creates sonic booms.  

Miles, well, he's a goober and a half!  He is as funny as they come!  He has no fears except for costume characters that cross his personal bubble line, and just last week was the first Rogers' child to require stitches.  He didn't just need stitches, the child is now established at the plastic surgeon's office.  He managed to gash his lip/mouth open while pushing a toy at school.  He whimpered when the doctor washed his boo boo out, but laid perfectly still through the numbing shots and the stitching.  The other morning at breakfast Miles said "Miles can't eat oatmeal, it hurts my lip.  I need Cheetos."  How do 2 year olds know how to manipulate?  geez.  He has also informed us that "Broccoli has eggs.  Eggs hurt Miles stomach.  Miles can't eat broccoli."  I'm sorry dude, but Broccoli wasn't anywhere on the list of "foods to avoid with an egg allergy".  

Jeff still works at the church and plays guitar.  Oh, and if you ever need a Disney vacation planner, he's your man.  I'm seriously going to apply for DisneyMoms for him.  He could put all of the other women to shame with his Disney planning tips.  

I guess that's a good recap.  I hope that you stick around and that you'll find yourself at home here.  After all, I'm a barefoot kinda gal.  So kick your shoes off, relax, and come on in and make yourself at home. 

Welcome to the neighborhood!
