I miss blogging

I miss having the internet and access to everyone's lives (I sometimes think they are more interesting than my own).  I miss blogging, and venting, and sharing our little moments.  I tend to let the little things pass on by and not document them now that we don't have internet.

Isabela is SO big and SO smart.  Xander is getting close to wanting to crawl.  He rolls and laughs a lot.  Isabela loves to make him laugh and laugh.  It is great he is such a great audience for her.  I love watching the light in his eyes when he catches on to something (like when I made his fingers push the light switch and he would watch his hand then look at the light bulb....he was in awe).

Brandon is home maybe 5 waking hours Monday thru Friday.  Both the kids and I really miss him.  We need him more in our lives.  I, therefore, get very little selfish time and my body is showing the effects, so is my mind.

Surprise to Brandon. I am at the library and so he doesn't know I am posting.
We are having fun today. Isabela loves playing games on the computer library.
Only Xander's eyes got a little red and puffy on the way over here. I hope it's just allergies or something.  It doesn't make me feel good.  I shouldn't worry, but hey, I'm a mom. It's what I do.

I still can't believe how beautiful it is here. There are so many lakes and rivers everywhere.  The camping and hiking possibilities are endless. 

Isabela made me put ALL of her tiny hair clips in today.  It actually looks pretty cute.
Xander is growing SO FAST!  I can't believe how big he is. All of his clothes now are 12 mo an he is still only 5 months barely.
But he is stinky now so I must go change a diaper...

I jog-walked five miles today!  It was great! I rand a 5k with Brandon’s mom last 24^th of July, but other than that haven’t ran in probably 3 years.  My neck and back feel way better, a lot more blood flow.

Brandon coached his first football game last night.  They won 28-0!  He is way stoked! And therefore it is a good day in the Forster household.  Congrats babe!

I finally have a pic from the reservoir.  We went out Friday night with my parents then I took Brandon out Saturday morning.  Isabela was about the same size as a catfish some guys had just caught so we took a picture :D

 Going for a walk, both kids in the stroller, this is what I see through the little plastic window (only usually upside down. I rotated the picture).  Doesn't Xander look slightly like an alien?
