Hello. I haven't posted in awhile, but its not because of a lack of things to talk about. I've been busy. Real life just happens sometimes. Things to report: we had a great Christmas here in our new home. Baby Brother flew in from Minneapolis. He had not seen his nieces or nephew in awhile, and was amazed at how much they have grown, and what cool individuals they are becoming. Christmas day he taught Little Mama to make homemade tortellini. He was a patient and wonderful teacher. I stood back and watched, and it felt good. My mom would have loved it, and been so proud.
The house is coming along. I love it more and more. Its small, but cozy, and I'm very happy.
Missing LM tonite. She and the Boss are in Florida training with Miss Ida for three weeks. As much as I miss her, I'm so happy that she has this opportunity. Last year, she was gone for two weeks, and I was able to fly down and see her. This year however, I won't be able to do that. She calls me most days, and I hear about all that she and Fab are learning. I tell myself to get used to this. She's almost seventeen, and she's finding her way. She doesn't need me to the extent that she once did. But, I love this. I love seeing her become the confident, self-sufficient young woman I always hoped she would be.
