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.

Busy busy
Things here are getting busier. Bryan started classes this week. He has a lot of work to do, but he is very organized. Bryan is working very hard and has already gotten a 100 on a quiz. I am so proud of him, and I keep encouraging him to keep up the great work.
Even though I am supposed to be on maternity leave, I am starting work on Monday. I am not doing anything big. I will be working in a call center on Mondays. It isn't much, but the extra little bit of money will help us out. It will also help me find a full time job when my maternity leave is over. I will train tomorrow night, so I can't wait to see what the job is like. I just hope this will work out like I want it too.
The boys are doing well. They are spending a lot of time with their grandmas. Last week they spent time with my mom and this week it is with Cathy. I know Marcus is loving all of the special attention. Christopher is too little to really express his emotions, but I know he loves the attention.
Well, I better get dinner started before the boys wake up.

New Addition
Bryan, Marcus and I are happy to announce our newest addition Christopher. He was born happy and healthy on August 7th. I have to say it was a great relief to have a healthy little boy. So far life has been pretty good with our new little boy. Marcus is a great big brother. He loves to hold and feed Christopher. Bryan and I are just trying to adjust to not getting much sleep. It has been a long time since we had to get up several times at night. We are hanging in there.
Bryan got some great news today. He found out he got enough financial aid to cover his tuition this year. We are very excited about this. Bryan will start classes on Monday. It is so exciting to know that he is on his way to getting his degree.
On a sad note, I only have five more weeks of being a stay-at-home mom. I am a little sad that I won't be home with my boys, but I am excited to be working again. I miss working and being around adults during the day. I haven't found a job yet, but I know that I will find something.
For now, we are just taking things a day at a time. Life is changing so quickly for us. We went from being separated to living together to having a new family member. Things are going well though. I can't wait to see what happens next.
