Long time, no blog....

Sorry it's bee awhie since I last blogged. A lot has been going on needless to say!

Trevor is doing well in school. Totally a typical 3 year old. stubborn,witty, playful, imaginative and bossy! He writes his name now, can state facts about apples, bats, spiders, owls, and Thanksgiving; and is completely potty trained!

We spent Halloween with my parents in Houston. Trevor quickly catched on and enjoyed trick or treating. In fact the other day he wanted to "dress up again and go ask for candy!" He somehow became obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) awhile back. Obviously, this is a fad from the 80's that isn't as popular now - so we found it lucky to find a costume in his size....not much else though!

We also got a new addition to the family. One night as we took an evening walk we heard a crying from the boat we have stored in the driveway. Turns out a lone kitten was there, seemingly abandoned by his momma. We took him in and Tevor wanted to keep him. So we have - bottle feeding in all. I know, I know - why did we let a 3 year old make a huge decision!??!?! Ask my hubby! Trevor named him Hook'em mostly due to his orange in color! We are all learning a new type of patience and tolerance; some of us gentleness!!!

As we made a new addition, my parents lost one. My sister got Princess over 11 years ago. She could fit in a pocket then! Well, through the years, as many children's pets do, Princess became my parent's dog - moving with them to Houston. She was always onry, moody and snippy - but she was loved! Trevor would read to her, pick her up and tote her places and take her for walks. Just a few weeks ago - my parents chose to end her suffering (she had been losing a lot of muscle mass/weight and wasn't herself, ultimately losing control of her bowels) and she went to doggie heaven. I have had to make this choie as well in the past and know how hard it can be.

Let's see what else.... Just the in and out of the daily grind of work and school! We are excited about the holidays and seeing Trevor really get into understanding it all a bit better! I think we will invest in an Elf on the shelf! I hear it's great for behavior!!! Here's hoping you all are doing well! Next post won't be so long coming - promise!
