There really is no excuse for me not to post here at least once a month. For shame, Charise! For shame!
So, here I am--before April closes shop and makes way for May, here's what when on this month in this life of mine:
- Bought a house
- Moved
- Colton had appendix removed
- Carter started potty-talking
- Cody got a mild concussion playing baseball
- I hit my knuckle hard on the frame of our doorway (wah! wah!)
- Anthony remained uninjured for this season
I must say I am loving this whole home-ownership thing. Although we lived close to the beach in our apartment, it was getting a little too dark in that place for me. I was starting to feel like I was living everyday in a British television drama, er, something like that. Now I have two good-sized, west-facing windows that get deliciously dreamy afternoon sunlight and I feel like a human being again instead of a lichen. I don't even know if that makes sense, but any of you that know me know what I mean. When the sun starts heading west, it streams in through the back door and windows leaving warm patches on our living room floor. I remember as a kid we had a sliding door that faced west, and when the sun would come through it I would lay in the patch of light like a cat, just soaking it in. I've had the urge to do that several times here, at my new place. I love it.
Life is pretty good right now. I can't complain and I feel very lucky to be where I am in so many ways. Well, I can always complain--but I won't.
On to May...
