A new month
Well, since February was such a crazy month we are hoping that March will be much better. So far we haven't started great. Bryan and I are both sick...again. Bryan has also been working late most nights. I am getting ready to start my 3rd seminar for graduate school. There is a ton of reading for this one, so I have started early. I am also tutoring a women in Algebra II. In one week, we have pulled up grade up from a D to a C. I am hoping over the next two weeks to pull her up to a B. She also would like me to start tutoring her son in Algebra. I start roller derby practice this coming Sunday. I am very excited to start this new sport. Marcus is slowly getting more interested in the potty. I am hoping this will pick up, and he will actually start using the potty. Christopher is starting to talk more. It is so cute to hear him. I think I let him watch too much Dora and Kilan though. Some of what he says sounds like Spanish, Chinese or a mix of the two. This weekend will be filled with lots of rest for Bryan and me. I am hoping we will be better for next week.

I'm back
My mother-in-law mentioned that I needed to update my blog. So I am here to update everyone on the status of my wonderful family.
Bryan is working really hard. He got a new boss a couple weeks ago, and the new guy is keeping him super busy. Bryan's company sees how great he is at programming, so hopefully that will mean a big raise for him. Bryan has been working so hard for the IT department. I am so proud of the work he has been doing.
Marcus is growing up way too fast. He is still not potty trained, but I am hoping to have that done by the summer. Marcus is really into trains, so we spend lots of time playing trains. He is really smart and picks up things very quickly. He is in Sunbeams right now, and I am so proud at how well he is doing. I can't believe that he will start school soon.
Christopher is a stinker. He is starting to talk more and began walking a few months ago. He wants to be just like his big brother, so Marcus has a shadow most of the day. Christopher is becoming a picky eater. He does not eat much meat. It really makes feeding him interesting. I am hoping this is just a phase because making two different dinners is no fun and I worry about him not eating.
I am working hard on at school. I am about to finish my second seminar. I only have four more to go before I graduate. I can't believe how quickly this is going by. I start my scoring tonight. It is going to be difficult adding on the work, but I absolutely love to score standardized tests. I am starting training soon to be a roller derby girl. I ordered my gear yesterday, and I should start training either next week or the week after. I am very excited because I have wanted to try this for a while. I haven't skated in a long time, so it will be awhile before I make one of the Charlotte teams. My goal is to make a team by next year though.
Things are always busy here. It has been a challenging first couple months of 2010, but I am hoping that the rest of the year is better. We are working very hard to make things better.

My Big Contest
My favorite cousin, Lisa, held a contest, and I won. It was a ton of fun, and I just have to pass it on.
I am now doing the same contest for all of my friends and family. To enter into the contest you have to leave a comment. Everyone that leaves a comment will be put into the drawing. On April 30th, I will draw five names, and those five people will receive a prize. This prize will be something that I have made. No guarantees that it will be useful or even something you want or like, but it will be something I made. The big catch is that the five people that win have to do this contest on their blogs.
Good Luck to everyone.
If you don't have a blog, please feel free to enter. If you win then you can do the contest through email, myspace, facebook or however you talk with your friends and family.

We are still alive
It has been far too long since I have updated. Things continue to stay busy here. We bought my in-laws house in March. It is so wonderful to be out of a small apartment. The boys love all of the room. Marcus is enjoying being able to play in the yard. We were also finally able to take my dog from my parents house. She is now enjoying being indoors and having the boys to play with. Here is a quick run down of what is going on in everyone's life.
Marcus is a terrible two-a-saurus. He does quite a bit of fussing now, and we are all trying to deal with it the best we can. He is really into dinosaurs. For Easter, he got a kids picnic table with dinosaurs painted on it. Marcus is talking a lot more. He is even remembering a lot more now. Yesterday, he was able to tell me all about eating cake with Aunt CiCi on Easter. It was really cute, and I am proud of him.
Christopher is growing up way to fast. He is almost as tall as Marcus, and he is a mover. He isn't crawling, but he does a scoot/flip around thing that moves him all over the floor. He as also started standing up in his pack'n'play. Today he walked around it holding onto the edges. I have a feeling he is going to be a walker soon. Christopher has been doing well in his helmet. It has been about two and a half months, and there has been a lot of growth in the right areas. He still needs a little more growth on his leftside, and his ears need to shift a little more. I am hoping he'll be out of the helmet by the end of May.
Bryan is working very hard. He is doing a lot of programming stuff at work. The good part is that he is able to work from home, so we get to see him more. We are hoping this will lead to a job offer, but for now we are just waiting.
I am keeping very busy. I am staying home with the boys during the day and working from home at night. I started competitive running two months ago. I finished my first 4 mile race in one hour and five minutes. I have my second race, a 5K, tomorrow. I am still trying to get the house unpacked and set up. I had to take a month off while I tried working outside of the home. We all agreed everything runs better when I am at home. The boys are enjoying too because I am cooking and baking a lot more.
That is all that is going on around here. I will try to update weekly.

Update
Well, things here continue to be busy. Marcus is hitting the terrible twos really hard now. It is hard having him fuss all the time, but we are trying to work on it. He is now saying please more and we are working on him saying thank you. Christopher is getting bigger and bigger. He is smiling, blowing bubbles, and generally very happy. Bryan is very busy with school and work. He is still making good grades in school. Work is going well. He is working on a new program, and he really is enjoying that. I am doing better. I have not been able to find a full-time job, but I have found a solution so that I can make money and be home with the boys. I am tutoring now at night and staying home with the boys during the day. The past couple of weeks have been hard because we are adjusting to the new schedule I have. Things are starting to settle down though. We are getting ready for Heather's wedding this week. It should be a fun time for us all. Well, I need to get back to work.

Long weekend
Our family had an eventful Labor Day weekend. Marcus spent lots of time with his Grammy and PP. He went to Monkey Joe's and dinner on Friday. Saturday he went to Carowinds, and Sunday he went out to the park for Ginger's birthday party. Christopher enjoyed time at home with the parents, but he did go to the park for Ginger's birthday too. Bryan spent most of the weekend cleaning up. He did get to spend some quality time with Kevin and the PS2. I rested some and took care of Christopher. Bryan and I spent most of Sunday and Monday watching the first season of Heroes. It actually is a cool show. I still have a lot more to watch if I want to be up to date before the new season starts. Luckily, Bryan has all the shows downloaded so I can watch them anytime I want. The weekend was pretty good for everyone.
I am sad to say that the baby blues have taken over. I am trying to not let it bother me, but I am feeling the blues pretty bad. The only bright spot in all of it is spending time with Bryan. I just get really down when I am with the boys. I am not 100% yet, so I feel bad that I can't play like I used to. I hope these blues go away soon. I don't like being sad and weepy all the time.
