hmmm... has it really been that long?

Geez, I must be the world's worst blogger. Oh well, does anyone really read this anyway? (except for my friend, tile girl, who had been asking for a "new" post... this is for you - another dull write up!)

I do have some update info on the Doty Girls. Tomorrow is their last day at their current DCP's. While I feel a little sad that they won't be going there to see their friends on a daily basis after tomorrow, I also feel that it really is time for a change for them. Mae completed a preschool course with her friend while there and really enjoyed learning. Lu has grown SO much while she's been going there - that part is sad for me - that she had so many milestone stages at this house. We are grateful for the time they were able to spend with this family, and we will always remember their generosity of opening their home to our girls.

We will soon have a young woman (ewww! if someone called me that when I was her age, I would've probably gagged at being described that way.. but I don't want to say that she's a "girl" either - she is a college graduate...ANYWAY..) come to our house over the summer to take care of the girls here. This will be a change for us, but hopefully fun for them. I'm glad that they are able to have exposure to different people in their lives - it's good for them. And an added plus that I feel loved when someone loves my children. (ahhh...sigh...)


Our family is finally recovering from a very busy birthday/vacation/event season. We had my sister's wedding, Easter, Mae's bday, a beach trip, Lu's bday, and then a grown up trip for Chris and me, all in about a month's time. It was fun, but we're glad we have the next few months to relax and just be a family together. -A family who hangs out, sits around, watches tv, eats a lot of snacks, and maybe takes a stroll in the out-of-doors once in while.... jk! ;D sort of...


Well that's all for now. I will attempt to update more often, but no promises. I seriously do not feel I have worthwhile information to share about our life, but as much as I'm entertained by our 5 year old Mae and 1 year old Lu, I will see if I can write it out as cute and funny as it happens. That should be really fun to read. haha.

Loves!
