Lately

Well, here I am hanging out. I wonder why it is that I seem to do some of my best thinking at these crazy hours of the late night/early morning.

Today was a pretty good day. We got out of the house and went to dinner at El Burrito. It's amazing that we're still going there after almost 11 years together and 10 years of marriage. Dan took me there on our first date and now we're taking our kids there.

When did I become a grown up?! I remember when I thought 30 was old. Now I'm on the verge of the big one and it suddenly doesn't feel so old. Perspective is a crazy thing.

Sydney turned 6 months old this week. At dinner today we saw a little baby, probably only a couple of months old, and it made me realize how much she is really growing and changing everyday. She says da da and loves to laugh. She has a funny sense of humor and thinks that her brother is hillarious. She is so precious and innocent. She is beautiful.
Ethan is doing really well at school. We had a little bump in the road last week, but we're okay now. I love him so much. He has the biggest imagination. He says the most random things. Invisible wheels are almost always turning in that head of his. I envy that, the endless possibilities, the vastness of it. He adores his sister and loves to make her laugh and talk to her. Syd was looking at him tonight at dinner and I realized what a special bond they will always have. They're kindred souls.

Looking ahead to this next week, we have a visit planned to go see Grandma and Grandpa Cornia. I've missed seeing them and they'll get to meet Sydney for the first time. They weren't able to come down due to Grandpa's health. He has to stay pretty close to home because he's on oxygen. He is doing well otherwise though. He turned 90 a little while ago and they just celebrated 69 years of marriage. I wonder if Dan and I will be like them in 59 years. I hope so.

Reflection is the name of the game today I guess. Until next time....
