-sean finished his first year of law school (and did really well!)--thank heaven, because the whole single-parent thing was horrible (serious kudos to all you single-parents). he is currently working at the la county da's office as a clerk. he loves it and i love hearing (i mean, he doesn't disclose any information to me, like, ever...) about stuff going on there.
-ruby cruises all over the place (no more crawling for thunder thighs) and says quite a few words. she is unfailingly social--to a fault, almost. that girl walks up to strangers and reaches for them to pick her up and take her home every place we go. mother's worst nightmare when you are, say, at a park with creep-o mcgoo in his chester molester van full of candy and ice cream (note: this didn't happen, i just think of the most horrific 'what ifs' i can so i am always prepared. sean loves that i do this *sarcasm*)
-oliver is finally 2 1/2! he is just incredibly large with a heart just as big. i am happy to report he no longer hits his friends (with the exception of his arch nemesis/secret love interest sarah). and also sometimes when he's around his friend linus. but no more to random strangers who poke at him. he loves singing 'jesus wants me for a sunBEEP' and looking through 'noculars'. he is also really into 'dinaurs', which is awesome, except when he eats one of his dino nuggets he says, 'sorry ouchies dinaur.'
as for me, i'm just hanging out with the little bosses all day and taking care of the big one at night (wait, let's get something straight here--i am the main boss). i sort of feel like i'm losing brain power as of late so i'm over-compensating by reading 4 different books at THE SAME TIME I'M SO SMART CHECK OUT ALL THE BOOKS I'M READING. just kidding about that last part. but seriously, i am reading 4 different books. and since dr. phil is playing reruns now i have nothing to look forward to from 3-4 while the kids are napping.
well, that's it! we are looking forward to family and friends coming and visiting over the next couple of months. come visit, everyone! the more the merrier! now, let's see what pictures i can scrounge up...
