Well, I guess I’ll start with this:

Because it’s hilarious. It’s at least 5+ years old because it was in my old apartment Scott & I inhabited before buying our (now for sale!) condo. I don’t eat turkey legs. I don’t even like them. I think the sheer SIZE of this here turkey leg was so amazing that I had to pose with it in “i’m pretending to eat you” fashion.

It may be 1 am & I may have spent the last 3 hours going through photos & art with Krust trying to figure out what will make it’s way out into the house. But, in reality I spent the time looking at old pictures DYING over how many sweet & hilarious moments I’ve spent with great people over the last 28 years! GOOD TIMES, guys.

Other than digging DEEP into the photo archives, lately I’ve been so all consumed with the life that is in front of me that this blog has officially fallen to the wayside. But, I intend to rediscover my voice soon. I have realized that having a place to organize even my most mundane thoughts is cathartic for me. And right now, in the thick of so many thoughts- I do need to write. Not for anyone reading but for me to just get into the universe & out of my very busy braindome.

Though I feel like so much has happened lately that I almost don’t know where to start. Can I do bullet points? Yes? Ok. Here goes:

-We’ve officially moved. Over a month ago. The new place is AMAZING & big & gives me the most amazing feeling. It’s the perfect place for us right now & we are loving putting everything together piece by piece.

-My kids are adorable, smart, funny & amazing. As if there was any doubt.

-My kids are insane, infuriating & absolutely driving me to an early grave with a layover at a mental hospital.

-I got bit my a spider & it got super infected & I got cellulitis & am on antibiotics.

-Truman fell backwards off a bench & hit his head on a brick planter & there was blood & it was scary.

-I have visited Ikea at least 4 times.

-We had a garage sale & made good money.

-We went to an AMAZING wedding at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

-We went to a Giants game.

-Our condo officially had it’s first open house.

-Sawyer & Truman are practically real-life humans who do 90% of what Hudson does now & say new words daily. Today: “Waffles.” They are officially 18 months old & are winning at life.

-Hudson is 32 months & an amazing little dude. The conversations we have at this point blow my mind. It’s amazing when you realize (even though you’ve been communicating well for some time) “Holy crap. This kid has about 80% of my vocabulary totally down.”

-This morning Hudson almost fell out of his chair & said “JESUS CHRIST!” and I laughed. Which probably wasn’t the appropriate response but it’s clear he listens to me say it because his inflection is dead on. He also told me bananas were “so nasty” the other day.

-Sawyer is the most beautiful dainty little creature. I’m beginning to think nature vs nurture is BS because she doesn’t have many “girl” things & homegirl’s first three words were “mommy” “daddy” & “shoes.” All she wants to do is put on clothes on top of clothes all day. And try on shoes. She is still a bit reserved & though she is still weird when she first gets around most people she warms up really quick & loves to smile & cuddle & be all around adorable. But homegirl farts, burps & poops like a truck driver. It’s pretty amazing.

-related: Sawyer doesn’t laugh very often but today she was laughing about something & it was the most amazing little laugh ever.

-Truman is still the most adorable, sweet little tank ever born- but he loves hitting people in the face. and he is freakishly strong. We’re working on it.

-Scott has been INSANELY busy. Leaving before 730 most days & getting home at 7 or later. Friday night it was after 10. No complaints as far as making money, but I sure miss hanging out more!

So, that’s what’s going on over here. What’s up with you?
