It's rare for me that when my infant gets up for her last feeding in the night that I can't go back to sleep. I love sleep, I don't get as much of it as I would like so when I get up I can't decide if I'm bugged or if I like it. The reason I like it is because it's quiet... I know my children are tucked snug in their beds, my daughter is well fed and my hubby is sleeping soundly next to me. I take a few minutes to go check on my babies and love watching their peaceful expressions and love it when my little guy talks in his sleep (he's done that since he learned to talk, it's so cute).
One of the funnest things though is I'll turn on the TV and watch something on Food Network (if I catch the last show before the infomercials start) and snuggle into Michael. He never completely wakes up, but he always pulls me close to him and gives me a tight squeeze. It's a beautiful feeling; contentedness (is that a word?) sets in and the world is good again.
I love my family!

Moving...
I really hate moving. However, I'm really excited for our move to our new corporate center. It is nice that I simply pack my boxes, label them, then leave for the weekend and all the work is done for me. I show up on Monday morning, dock my laptop, unpack my boxes and I'm good to go. Brilliant! The building is beautiful and state of the art; it will be a nice building to work in.
On the home front, Moira is doing fabulous in Kindergarten. She's making friends and loves telling us about what she learned each day. Kai has started pre-school and the report is about the same. When I pick him up, he loves showing me everything he has worked on. As we leave he waves to whoever is still there and says, "Good-bye friend." Mercedes continues to change so much every day. She has the biggest smiles and sings constantly. She is our newest little joy!What cuties I am blessed with!!
Michael is simply loving his new job! It is the perfect position for him; he is being challenged and utilitized in the best of his abilities. He continues to amaze me every day!
As for me, well I couldn't be happier right now. For the number of challenges we have faced this year, we have come out on top and best of all, feeling happy and blessed. Heavenly Father truly has a hand in our lives and shows us daily how much he loves us.

Working again...
The explanation for the obvious slow down on our blog is simply the fact that I am now back at work. It is bitter sweet to be back; sweet because I do love my job and co-workers, bitter because I have to leave my sweet children at home.
The one thing I've had to ease my mind is the fact that Michael has been working nights and therefore able to be home in the days with the children. Sure, we both feel overworked and tired beyond imagination, but the children have been with their parents and that has been a wonderful blessing.
Our nice little routine (nice was said with much sarcasm) is about to change once again because Michael just received a promotion at work and has been offered a position as the AR/HR Manager. Now, how could we pass up such a wonderful career opportunity? There has been a lot of back and forth because of the children, but in the end, we decided that we couldn't pass this up.
Other reasons for the slow down on the blog are more personal and likely to pass in a short while so hopefully I'll settle into a routine sometime soon and keep our little corner of the internet universe updated. For now I'll offer a cliffnotes version of an update. Children are healthy, happy and growing like weeds. Yay!
