Today is September 10 - my due date of #3, and no signs of baby coming today. All my friends pity me, and I pity myself to a certain extent, but I'm an experienced mother enough by now that I know they are easier inside the womb than they are outside! And I still have a lot to do, like updating my blog, so until the time comes I'm making the best of it! I am sure excited to meet #3 though.
My last blog post was "Welcome to San Antonio," almost exactly one year ago. Since then, we have made a lot of good memories, learned a lot, made new friends, done a lot! It's a whole different life than the one in El Paso, different but good. A new baby will be here soon, one baby turned 3 and another 2 and the biggest boy turned 30!
A big change for us is owning this home of ours, and being home-owners for the first time. Since moving in a year ago we have: replaced the roof, replaced the water heater, replaced the water softner, made a garden bed/garden and done lots of landscaping and laying sod, learned and experimented lots with decorating... We have enjoyed owning and have loved this house of ours.
I complained that this was a long, hot summer. We didn't vacation once since Michael's wedding, but we actually had a great summer. Me and the two boys played and played. They made leaps and bounds of improvement at the swimming pool, which we visited a couple times a week. SeaWorld, museums, free movies, lakes, libraries, dates... I loved this summer!
The end of summer has brought a big change for our family - Preschool for Troy! We have completed one week and so far it is a success! He is darn tired by the end of his preschool days, but he loves going and always asks to stay. His teacher is the sweetest too. I think it will be a great year.
Rocky is going at a million miles per minute. As my mom stated "He has tender feelings and a streak of mischief." The boy loves to be held, has a million facial expressions, loves to play and is so loud. He is an equal match for Troy physically and to put frankly - they fight all the time. But also play all the time. When Troy goes to preschool, Rocky asks me 100x "Troy? Troy?" To which I respond "He's at preschool!" And he says, "Oooohhhhh!" 30 seconds later: "Troy?"
Bobby is starting his second year of dermatology residency. Supposedly a little easier than first year? He is enjoying it. He has great friends in the program with him and carpools to work everyday. He continues to nurture his passion for finance and investing on the side.
