9/11 and old friends
Where were you on 9/11 five years ago?
I'll never forget - I was teaching music - my first season, and my 5th graders came in stunned asking if I knew that someone blew up the trade center today. I thought they must have been talking about the anniversary of it, though I had no idea when that one actually took place. I remember being glued to the news during planning and lunch.
I remember kids being pulled out of school all day long, and I remember wanting to get home to my husband to be with him. I remember stepping outside of my house and hearing hardly any traffic and no airplanes. Some of the images I try to forget because they are painful. Thoughts of "What would I have done?" enter my head, and I get chills thinking of the answer.
After that I remember practicing emergency drills more frequently with a renewed sense of urgency - even though a small elementary school in rural Lakeland, FL is probably last on the list of potential terror targets.
There's some language in this one, but it's a good rant!

Mazel Tov!
My little brother Marty married the woman of his dreams yesterday. Katie and I attended his Arlington, VA wedding. 
Crazy Little girl...
Julia is wonderful...thanks for all of those of you who are asking. Hyper (like any other almost 4 year old), but doing fine. No major signs of jealousy, but sometimes it's hard for her. She does miss playing with me, and doesn't always understand why I can't play as much with her (Katie and house work take a lot of time, not to mention trying to catch a few Z's). She and I are counting days until daddy comes home, and we head to Florida to visit our family and friends.
One month later
One month later... her cheeks are filling out, and she's getting more alert. Occasionally gives me a gummy smile, usually when the boobie is nearby, and the camera's in the other room.

This is a picture of me on Katie's birthday. She's only a few hours old at this point, and I am in mommy heaven. See- no bags under my eyes... It's amazing how fast she grows.
My New Blog
I am still figuring this out, but give me time and I can keep you updated on exciting events in our family's life.
