Way TOO LONG!

 

 

Well it has been almost a year, maybe more since I have updated my blog, and those of you who used to watch it religiously (you know who you are!) have probably moved onto bigger and better blogs! But hopefully this post will inspire you to keep checking back for random updates!

Ok, so I guess I should fill you in on our life over the past year. Alexa is 2 and ¾ and is going to turn three "when the snow is on the ground, and someone comes to my birthday" according to her. She is probably the smartest and most hilarious kid in the world, and I am not just being a bias mother either. You can ask anyone who comes into her life, she amazes people with her quick wit and hilarious innuendos. She loves most things that 2 year olds like, like Dora and going to the park and colouring and reciting her ABC's at the top of her lungs, but if she were put into a situation where there were kids to play with or adults to sit and talk to about life, she would choose to include herself in the conversation with the "BIG" girls instead of going and playing with the kids. She is quite the character!

I am currently limited to things that I can do around the house, as I broke my leg, but Alexa is always there to lend a helping hand, wanting to know if I need a massage or if she can hold a door open for me, or help bathe me. Sometimes I forget that she IS only 2 and can't do some things, or doesn't quite comprehend things that I say to her at all times, although she does try her best!

We now live on our own, thank GOD no more roommates! We moved into our beautiful one bedroom apartment in March, and are loving the freedom of not having anyone but us two around, when Alexa is around. Her second home, and sometimes I wonder if it is her first home, is my Grandma Joan's house. Alexa loves it there, and would much sooner go there then come home any day, mostly because right now mom isn't much fun at all with a broken leg.

Well I am sure I will post more in the near future, but for now I am tired and we are planning a trip to the big city tomorrow, so check back soon for more of our exciting adventures and thrilling, enticing stories!
