I have thought many times about sitting down and "blogging", but for one reason or another, I just haven't done it...no excuses.
The "fall" so far has been fairly busy for us. We started it out by a last minute weekend trip to Long Beach, WA to stay at a 
cottage owned by one of the lady's I work for. The trip itself was something we needed and enjoyed thoroughly. Other than the "sneaker wave" that attacked us and made me drop my camera, took Anthony's iPod out to sea, not to mention soaked us and everything we had on the sand. After the initial shock, we realize how hilarious it was, but also how expensive or an encounter it was...oh well, we are all safe and THAT is what really matters.

The week we returned from the ocean (after staying an extra day because we just didn't want to leave), Mikaelyn started Preschool at a Montessori school about 4 minutes from home and also about 4 minutes from my work. She will be going Thursday and Friday afternoons and so far, she just ADORES it! We have also started her in gymnastics, dance (ballet & tap) and she will start soccer next week. That gives her an activity, or school Monday through Friday...meaning my taxi cab skills are kicking into high gear. She loves being out of the house and meeting new friends. 
The only downfall is that a few of the days she can no longer take a nap...this has been a difficult adjustment. Some of my friends have told me that their kids just stop taking naps when they turned 3 or 4 or whenever, but not my child! She takes a nap religiously at 1pm every day! She will sleep anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours! She's doing ok, but just having to go to bed earlier than normal and I'm having to keep her a bit more busy in the evenings so that she doesn't doze off.
On top of all of Mikaelyn's activities, I am still working hard, and trying to keep up the household...it seems as if the chores are going by the wayside though...oh well, I'll catch up sooner or later! Looks like we'll be getting brand new carpet in our apartment...so I'm waiting until that happens...ahh, excuses! :o)

I'm so envious that Mikaelyn still naps. Ryan stopped at 2 1/2 and Caitlin can easily go without a nap too - although they both go into their rooms for "quiet time" each afternon - I need a break!!
