How To Boil Water

I keep telling Sebastian that we need to go back to our old neighborhood and take a picture of the duplex that we used to live in.
Upside of that place- HUGE master bedroom with walk-in closets on either end for him and her.
Downside- crack house 3 doors down. We thought it was the bomb when we moved in.


And then we came to our senses, and moved in here.
Downside of this place- the guest bath hot water is set to scorching, and there is nothing that we can do about it. It literally smokes when the water hits the sink.
Upside- whenever I need to boil water, I head to that bathroom and fill up my pot. After I set it on the stove, I get to a rolling boil within 3 minutes.

Don't get me wrong, y'all. When we move to our next place (Godwilling in the next year or two) I will certainly take a picture of this place too. It's all about baby steps.

And we're happy.

I'm Thankful For......

My family.

Here are all six of the grandkids, from oldest to youngest. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch hosted by Juan and Toni. Can't wait til next year! And if there happen to be any additions to the family, here's wishing it doesn't come from this end of the Vega pool- although, I wouldn't mind a little girl....

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

And NOW, let the Christmas decorations and what not be released.

I Got Nothing...Except All This Good Stuff

Luckily, I have kids. Today, I got some great moments from the boys. So they are saving me from slipping on the blog posts.

This morning Sebi told me, "I have a lots of gas in my booty"

Nice. This is just the beginning of spending many years in a house with 4 men.

Gabi (who is my bigtime sleeper) woke up early from his nap today SCREAMING. I went in and picked him up. He said, "addddewww. dadadada thbbbbbbb!!!!"..... Smiled at me, let me hug and kiss him, and then played happily while I talked on the phone with Megan.

I got home from class tonight anxious to see my husband. He was in the bathroom brushing Homer's teeth. Homer was so happy to be brushing his teeth that he forgot to initiate the crying that he ALWAYS does on my return. It was so nice to see him just happy with dad.

Sebastian and I had a delicious pot roast with some good wine after the kids were in bed. :)

I like my life.
