In the mean time...

I know I haven't posted in a while.  To be honest I'm just not in a writing mood lately.  I have a lot of ideas swimming around in my head with what I want to write about, but I need to work on a way that I can present them in an appropriate fashion.  So in the mean time here are some pictures that I have taken on my phone in the past month. 

 Kenzie is now eating solids.  She likes the fruit a lot better than the vegetables.  This is the complete opposite from Owen.  In fact Owen just barely started eating apples and I'm so excited. 

 This was the picture that I sent to my brother for his birthday.  I love my brother Drew so much.  I know that he loves the kids and I know they love him (even though they don't get to see him often).  This was the only picture that wasn't blurry and you could read the happy birthday.  I think it is cute how Owen is looking at Kenzie.  He adores her so much!  I am so lucky to have a son that loves his sister.   

Don't you think Kenzie is a doll with her hair in a pony tail?!  I love that it is starting to get long enough for me to put it up.  She hates me doing her hair, but I still do it.  I just need to learn to be fast. 

We are trying to teach Owen to potty train.  It is not successful one bit.  I hope that one day he will want to go in the potty instead of just sitting there.  In 15 years he is going to be so mad at me for sharing this but it is too cute not to. 
I think I have been depressed lately.  I feel like even though there are happy things going on in my life I seem to only see the negative.  I don't want to be working anymore and that will not end for a couple years.  It is so hard to be patient and happy in being a working mom when I really just want to stay at home.  I feel like when I try to motivate Joe to be more proactive in getting into a masters program it just makes him mad at me for bringing it up.  Because of that I then let myself get into a downward spiral by thinking that we will be in this situation for the rest of our lives.  Being able to see a light at the end of the tunnel is really hard for me. 

There you have it, probably the main truth as to why I haven't written.

However one happy thing is that we ordered a double stroller/bike trailer.  It came yesterday!  We went on a walk yesterday and today I went on a walk/run.  I have not ran since before I was pregnant with Owen.  It was hard but felt fabulous.  I hope I can motivate myself to exersize since I really need to lose weight.
