I can handle this life...

Wow, everything is so awesome.

I am tired right now from catching up on everything since coming home. We had a laundry catch up day from our trip back home. BUT... I am proud to announce it is DONE, FOLDED and even put away... including Tamaya's and my bedding. Steve and I got together and scrubbed the house. I made phone calls, one in particular to American airlines (if you remember I had a slight problem with a return flight!!!) I still need to write head office for my side of things, but they did give me a voucher for $800 for Tamaya's ticket. I don't see myself going anywhere soon, but at least it's not totally lost and I can purchase tickets for anyone - so if anyone is going anywhere with AA let me know and I can use up my credit and give you a discount. I also got things organised to pay bills (URGHHH BILLS SUCK) I finally got my totals from my trip to Haiti and OH MAN it was more than I expected... $13 500.00 - how's that for a freaken choker, and that's no including what her adoption cost us!!! ( but..I would do it again in a heartbeat) Now I just need a plan to make this debt not hurt so much with the high credit card interest charges, like take out a loan or something. I will have to start working soon... ;-) I am starting an on-line business venture that I will share with you all soon, I have also been busy trying to get that up and running.

Did I mention how much I love, love, love being a mommy!!! My little miracles are doing well. Ty is adjusting very well to having his new sister. It seems everyday that passes brings them closer together. There is NORMAL sibling rivalry, which I can sooooo live with. Ty is becoming himself again which makes things so much easier. He is a pro at his morning routine and has time to spare before we bring him to the bus.

Tonight we had such a nice family evening. I made a roast in the crock pot and we enjoyed dinner as a family (as we do every night) Afterwards we all hung out in my room, the kids were blowing farts on my belly (Ty teaching his sister very, very fun stuff!!!) we had some tickling sessions and some daddy and kid rough housing!!! It was one of those awwww moments for sure. We all laughed so much. Then it was time for story and a tuck in and bedtime (another one of my favorites..lol).

My children are so cool. I have the best of both sexes. Ty is all boy... and boy oh boy he is all boy. Tamaya on the other hand is very much a girly girl. A great example of the great differences is when I make my bed in the morning.... for years I would make my bed, and while I was in the process of making it Ty would decided it looked like the perfect time to jump all over it. Now my darling GIRL helps me make it... for real!!! and she loves helping. She is so "tidy" with the toys, she places everything nicely when she is playing, while Ty would dump the bucket on the ground (still does actually) when she is done playing she picks up the toys without even being asked?!?! Ty would need a few stern looks and "c'mon man" to even think of doing it..lol Tamaya is great for being sensitive which seems to be a little on the drama queen side of things, you know - on the whiner side, while Ty is a rough and tough, suck it up kind of guy. If Ty is crying it's usually a very serious thing. If she cries it's usually because her feelings are hurt. So all in all am having fun embracing both side of the sexes.. the good, the bad and the ugly.. ;-)

I do plan on putting some pics and video up of the kids soon. Hopefully by the weekend I will have time to get the camera out... life is slightly busier now and I struggle to find time to even sit down to do anything... so bare with me until I catch up..lol, if that will ever happen :-)
