This Blog Is Moving

In an effort to simplify my life I'm moving all my blogs to a central log in. All of the posts from this blog will still be on new site, but future posts will only be on my new blog. Come check it out and subscribe/follow at Life As Sean & Andrew's Mom

Give It A Shot

After months of being on blogging hiatus, I'm going to give it a shot now that I have my new tablet. With baby Andrew on the verge of cruising and trying to homeschool Sean and keep him busy, finding time to sit in front of my PC to blog, has been near impossible.

So here goes... Christmas is just days away and I still have TONS of wrapping to do. It's amazing how different this year will be. First of all having two children, but also how differently Michael and I have treated buying stuff for our second child.

With Sean, you could hardly see him in the see of presents and after the second gift he was done tearing paper off the gifts. We only bought a couple for Andrew knowing better this time around. Instead I'm putting more effort into the wrapping, since that is likely going to be the source of Andrew's joy and entertainment. I'm going to be putting big shiney bows on everything for him to play with.

Sean has gotten to an age where is gifts are more pricey so we don't have to worry about the mountain anymore.

You Must Have So Much Time On Your Hands!

I don't know why people who work think stay at home moms have SO much time on their hands. I think I've worked harder and longer hours in the last 9 months than in the last 15 years at a paying job.

Now granted I am homeschooling my oldest son and I have a 9 month old baby. I am literally working 24/7! I get up most mornings between 6-7am and start the Multitasking Olympics of getting myself and my two boys up, fed and dressed. By 9am the three of us are dressed, fed, and ready to start the day... I've probably done the dishes, some laundry, picked up stuff around the house, etc. Then we start school. Do you have any idea the under taking teaching your own child while caring for a baby is? One word... INSANE!

So as midnight quickly approaches... I debate whether to do more laundry or do absolutely nothing on the couch :s

31st Fort Worth International Taekwondo Championship

Sean competed for the first time since he was 5 and new to Taekwondo. He sparred against a national champion in his division that's been competing for the last 2 years, and his parents are a sparring and forms coach. When the first round ended Sean was down 1-5, and finished the second round 6-11. He managed to gain 5 more points and walked away with 3rd place.

We are SO proud of him. He will be competing alot next year because he wants to go to Nationals in the summer, which will be held in Dallas for the first time. His goal is to come home with a gold medal. He will have to train hard, because next year he will likely be competing as a red belt.

Update on Andrew

Well it's been 2-1/2 months since I've blogged, but if you're following me on Facebook you get a glimpse of day to day life around here. Andrew is sitting up and he's on the verge of crawling. Boy is life going to change when that happens. He's eating 3 jars of food a day and still pretty much sleeping through the night. Here is a picture of the bundle of cuteness from today...
