And.....I'm back.

So, my blogging hiatus had multiple causes. Our computer/internet began having issues with allowing me to upload pictures. And what fun is blogging if you can't share pictures? I think I've found a way around that issue, although the computer gods get angry if I try to add more than two pictures at a time. In addition to my computer issues, I was just getting tired of trying to think of things to write that anybody would want to read. However, I'm feeling a little isolated lately, and this kinda keeps me in touch with the rest of the world. It's also our family journal, because heaven knows I've never been a journal writer.
You haven't missed anything too exciting in our lives, just the usual goings on really. Mitchell has become a moody teenager. Everything is 'No!', 'I don't have to!', and 'Cuz, I'll just be naughty'. He seems to enjoy contradicting me just for the sake of contradicting me. The other night he did three back to back time outs. Sometimes I feel like I'm speaking Chinese for all the listening he does. When he's being nice however, he's a pleasure to be around. He's still really into space and wanders around talking about supernovas.
Sam has been walking for about a month. He gets around pretty well and is already proving himself to be an adventurer. Mitchell was kind of a serious kid and didn't seem to do a lot of the things I heard about other kids doing. Sam has introduced him to the world of emptying kitchen cupboards, smudging up the TV, and climbing into places you're not supposed to be. It's kinda like having two 11 month olds around. He hasn't had anything to say yet, he mostly communicates by grunting, gesturing, and occaisionally glaring, he's pretty good at getting his point across.
We continue to live in the outskirts of Hell and are very much hoping that the rumors of possible transfers are true. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
