Ok, so I'm still here, for the time being! I can't promise timely posts, but I'll do my best to pop in now and then.

I'm finding that my life is running away with me! The weeks scream by and it's the weekend before I know it. This past week is no exception. I landed a nasty cold at the beginning of the week and thought yesterday was Wednesday. Much to my surprise I realized I'd spent the whole week in bed! Not good, not good at all. Now that my nose is starting to work again, I can smell the week's worth of mess waiting for me to clean up. Why is it that after a head cold, the house smells seem stronger and nastier? I swear the mold monster must be hiding somewhere 'cause I can smell him! And I think he's rooming with the garbage monster too. GAG!!!!! Time to get cleaning, I guess.

We had an eventful Halloween. Our little punkin, Maleia, celebrated her 9th birthday on Saturday and since that was designated as trick or treat day, we had a big bash for her on Friday night. Costumes, games, and fun ensued and we even had time to make bracelets! It was great and I think the little miss had just as much fun as I did.


I can't believe my Maleia is actually 9 years old now! It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing home my little Marshallese butterball. She's been such a sweet blessing in our family. Maleia came with a tender heart, a gentle laugh and the best smile in the world! She's mature for her age and has become Janzyn's second mama. He's the first thing she looks for when she comes home from school and he literally jumps into her arms the moment she walks through the door. She's artistic and loves anything creative. She has the sweetest voice and memorizes songs easily and quickly and is always serenading us. When I think of Maleia, the word Joy comes to mind. She is pure joy and I'm the lucky mom who gets to claim her as mine! Happy Birthday, Mina!
