Is it Summer Yet?

I can't take the winter anymore... being stuck inside with 3 kids, 2 dogs, 3 fish, and a gimpy husband is driving me a little crazy... okay A LOT crazy.... Its amazing how the change of season can affect my attitude! Josh had his foot surgery last week and is in a cast up to his knee... so he's home with us for the next 3 weeks! And in that time we should be finding out where we are being sent to! SHEESH thats another reason why this winter feels like forever.. bc our fate is going to be determined by a simple email or phone call. ANYWHO enough of the complaining.... The kids are all big, Christopher is already doing the army crawl and i swear he waves HELLO when i wave to him! i have yet to get that on video though so nobody believes me haha.... Everyone is getting big way too fast... Taylor is like a little shopping partner for me lol except she isn't ALLL the way there yet... maybe in a few years. Dominick has been seriously testing my patients, his temper tantrums are awful! He can be the sweetest little thing and then as soon as he doesn't get his way its like he turns into a different child! I am working on it though bc i refuse to let him grow up to be the crazy kid that nobody wants to have at their house. Josh is home with his foot like i said, but he's also working a lot from home with Western Govenors, he grades papers at the masters level, its a pretty sweet side job to have! I wish i could but in order to get the job you have to be working towards your doctorate. I just got my bachelor degree in september 2010 right after i had Christopher.... and now the big decision is if i should start going back to school again for my masters in teaching bc i think thats my ultimate goal. I can work when i know i have the summers off to be with the kids! Other then that Jessica is in Hawaii with Rusty seeing his parents for the first time since they were engaged... oh yea jess and rusty got engaged on her birthday (january 29th) this year! He had "WILL YOU MARRY ME" written on 2 giant cupcakes at this cute little cupcake shop in the city! And besides all that...... we just welcomed in little Christina Francesca last week! February 18th 2011!! she was 19" and 6lbs 10oz! Soooo cute and looks just like Despina. So far from what i've heard she's doing great but has her days and nights mixed up so poor mike and eva aren't sleeping much, but i think no matter how good the baby is, they don't sleep much in the beginning! Right now the kids are upstairs getting pj's on (by themselves ahh) and christopher is in his high chair listening to josh talk to his mom on the phone, (she's waiting to pick Toby up at the airport from China.) We have Bella here visiting bc mom and dad went to Atlantic City for their 39th anniversary! Alright the kiddies are down here with their pj's in hand and needing a help! NIGHT!
