City VS Country Living

I can now say that I have lived in both a city and a country setting. At the current moment I am living in the country. I really thought I would miss the city so much if we moved to the middle of nowhere. The odd thing is yes I do have little things I miss but 95% of the time I love it in the country. With such a big yard for my kids to run and play in I did not know how awesome that would be. Yes the upkeep is a lot but well worth it. The part I miss about the city though is being able to run to the store whenever I need to. I actually have to plan my trips to town now. I do miss having all the activities inside the city though and the parks right there. But having our own yard is like having our own park. Plus if my kids start to have melt downs from cabin fever I can just let them outside to play and they can yell and scream and run around crazy till their heart is content and they are not bothering anyone since we don't have neighbors. Which do you like better, living in the city or the country?

Like a sponge

It's amazing how such a young child can learn so fast. It feels like just the other day that J could not talk at all and now everyday we are adding new words. Most days I am so excited that he can tell me what is wrong or what he needs. Then there are the days when mommy has a killer headache and misses the days with no talking. Just today we learned to say done, book, and truck. It will be know time now till he is holding a full on conversation with me. It is a wonderful feeling to watch him learn.

Where to even start, been gone for about 5 months now. Really wish I did not have to stop blogging but life happens. Just to recap in the last 5 months we have moved, got a puppy, and I was able to go home and visit family in my home state of New Jersey. With the new house things are still taking time to get unpacked. I feel like we have more things then what we actually packed. First goal is to get rid of anything we don't need or use anymore. So tired of finding a spot for something we don't use anymore. My 8 yr old daughter T is on summer break until Aug. 20th. I can't believe school starts back up so soon. My 1 yr old son J is hitting his terrible twos already. Some days I think he knows just what buttons to push for my head to start spinning. Other then that we are just enjoying each other through the summer break. But I am sure there is more to come. Oh yeah here is the new addition to our house Angel.

 

Teething Wish I Could Take The Pain Away 2/21/2012

Well Joey is getting 3 molars in and he is not happy about (not that I blame him). Today has been a rough day because he does not understand how to express that it hurts other then screaming. On top of him teething I think he is getting a cold. It is really like a never ending cycle today. Other then that life as usually with house work and working from home.
