My apologies

Hello all! I just wanted to apologize for the long absence. Just when I was getting good at blogging more regularly, October was crazy. I had a big paper due 1st of November that made me feel like I should be working on if I ever had free computer time instead of the blog. We had a lot to blog about, though, in the past month and a half, and hopefully I will start updating you all on at least a few of those things very soon. Michaela is over a half a year already...crazy! My mom is here right now. She came for two weeks to keep me company while Michael was deployed, but he never deployed, so she is just enjoying time being a grandma, and I am enjoying time catching up on sleep and cleaning and more schoolwork while she is entertaining. More to come soon....promise!
