Hello Blogging World

I have missed the blogging world for the last 2 months. I have had to take a hiatus. Due to the ridiculous expense of adopting (but sooooooo worth it!), I got a job! I'm really lucky, it's a data entry job I can do from home. But for 4 weeks in June, I had to do my training outside the home. It was a hard adjustment for us, but my kids were exceptional! And my mother-in-law stepped in when I thought we might not survive, thank you Cynthia. I missed my kids so much. After those 4 weeks, I started working from home. The first couple of weeks were even worse because my kids were so happy to have me home, they were interupting my work every couple of minutes. I felt like it took all day long to get 4 or 5 hours of work done, but things are starting to shape up. We are figuring it out. And it truly is a blessing to have that extra income and still be able to stay home. But, blogging had to take a back seat. At first I would read updates quickly, but never comment. Then I just had to drop it all together. So if you have missed my comments, I am sorry (I KNOW you have all missed my comments so much!).
Here are some fun pictures of cute Corbin who is now 8 months old and has 6 teeth, with a couple more poking through. He is figuring out crawling and can definitely get around the room, time for a little baby proofing. He is still the cutest, happiest little guy around and such a joy to have in our family. I know, I too can not get enough of those cheeks. I promise you that they are getting kissed and smooched on constantly. We love this little guy so much.


I have had fun catching up with everybody's blogs, but I doubt I could comment on everybody's updates. So just know that I have enjoyed the pictures and commentary. And would have said something very witty if I had the time and energy!
My dear friend, Jen @ http://bjdentonfamily.blogspot.com/ I have not had a chance to catch up, but plan to, you know how much I love you and your blog. And for anybody else needing a great blog to read, you may want to check her out, she's becoming quite popular.

Wow. A shout-out! Thanks so much.
What about that baby! I love the one of him and daddy; I can hear him laughing in AZ! Good luck with the job, and I hope his eating issues have regulated. We're baby-proofing over here again, and it's tiring chasing that little girl around!
Missed you!
