Hello again

We are back online! After several attempts at getting our laptop in working order (without paying someone to do it) we decided to go looking for a cheap replacement until we could get what we really wanted - the iMac with a 24" HD monitor. While we were looking at Best Buy we saw the Apple display and I was checking the iMac out again. The sales guy said that it was a floor model on clearance because they have upgraded the processor and they were discounting the existing stock with the old processor. Long story short, it was a good enough deal that we decided not to pass it up and we have the computer we really wanted. Now to make the transition from PC world to Mac world. So far it's been simple enough. It's nice to be back!

The twins will be two next Saturday! I can't believe it. They are no longer babies, but I have neglected to stop calling them such. I'm working on it. They talk n.o.n.s.t.o.p. and are always happy to entertain. I had them in the store with me the other day and I was looking at something when I heard Cami start counting: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8....YAY!" They are in love with Diego and Dora is a close second. Our DVR is filled with a million episodes simply because *I* get tired of the same episode. They don't actually sit and watch the TV very often but it seems to be on a lot while they are distracted with the more exciting parts of being a toddler.

Maddie is almost done with Kindergarten. The 30th is her last day. She is reading so well! She's been reading some of the easy-reader type books for several months. The other night she brought The Cat in the Hat to me to read her for bedtime. She decided to try to start it herself and ended up reading the whole thing to me with only a few prompts. We made a huge deal out of that. She's very proud of herself.

Nothing terribly exciting going on right now. Once I find the cord for my camera I'll upload some recent pics of the girls.

hey ummm, just wondering, your new blog title isn't a hint of things to come is it? Like you actually HAVE a surprise that you have yet to share with the audience. those two words in the same sentence make me think of pregnancy. It's not triplets this time is it? THAT would be a surprise.

LOL, no. I was watching a movie the other night - Dan in Real Life - and it was a line from the movie. It felt like it applied to my life over the past several years...like the only thing I can count on is change. :) But there are no surprises lurking that I'm aware of.
