How could it possibly be March?

Seriously. Time can slow down ANY time now. JD has been finished with Grad school almost 2 years now, so I do not need time to fly!!!!

We are still doing our found money project...not doing as well as last year this time, but we have found over $7 in coins...I think more people are picking up pennies these days. I can't blame them. A penny saved is a penny earned...

Simon is 8 already and Gwen is 5. The other day we all hopped in the car and after we were driving for about 20 minutes I realized that I hadn't begged both of them to use the bathroom for the 20 minutes prior to leaving, nor did I have an extra bag of clothes packed for them in the car for accidents. Have we finally reached that stage in life where diaper bags are gone? No more wet wipes? No more, oh, shoot...we just left and now someone really needs to go to the bathroom right this second where is there a McDonald's without bullet proof glass and locked bathrooms? OK, so maybe not everyone thinks like that...especially at their age, but it still has not been a full year since Gwen said goodbye to her pampers, so this is kind of a new way of living for us. The idea of maybe taking a trip somewhere on a plane and not having to drag strollers or worry about forgetting someone's blanky??? Dare I dream?? (Dream, indeed, since we'd have to win the lottery to fly anywhere right now, but I digress).

Gwen is really into talking to people on the phone now. She wants to talk to Grandma and Aunt A. She won't stop talking either....so I think that is cute. I was never much of a phone person. I tend to use it only if I need to know where someone is, or if I forgot why I went to the grocery store.

Simon is getting a lot taller...he is still the skinniest boy in the planet, but he is going to be a tall boy like his dad....his feet are huge...it kind of reminds me of when our Great Dane was a puppy and he had these enormous paws....Dunstan definitely grew into them and I expect Simon to do the same.

I wish I had something more interesting to post at the moment...I just felt like I should write SOMETHING as it has been so long....

Well, maybe tomorrow I can think of something interesting to post...

Hope all is well in your world....
