Apologies!

I have been incredibly negligent in blog writing. Life has been tough and very busy lately. But I am hoping to be able to write more now. I just have to come up with the time at work. Work is at a slow point again...but could speed up at any time. I went back to DC once in November, but have avoided going again since. Evan is closer to 4 than he is to 3 right now. He is such a big boy and capable of doing many things...like dressing himself in the morning. I have to tell him, "Leave your sister alone" about 300 times a day. He loves her, but can be rough...and sometimes mean. My girl, Delilah, is almost 10 months old. Her smile can break your heart. Good thing she is cute because she screams like a banshee at all hours of the night. Evan calls her "Cute Little Lila" but "Lila" sounds more like "Wyla." He has also been calling her, "Delilah Sue," "Princess Girl," and "Miss"...all of which he got from me. The other day in the car he whispered something to her and then yelled, "I'm just kidding, Delilah!" That same day he was saying, "We're going on a baby hunt; we're gonna catch a big one."

He is a goof. Keeps us laughing (and crying!). I asked him to put on his shoes the other day and he said to me, "Mom, are you talking back to me?" And if you ask him how much he loves you, he says, "Five." Perfect answer.

In two weeks, I am headed to Phoenix with my girlfriends for our 4th annual MLK Jr. girls' weekend. We have a great time...and it is a new venue this year. Can't wait!
