Okay, I'm going to try and start posting here again! My plan was to start writing at least once a week after my last post and here it is, what, 6 months later and not a peep! Two of the Triplets have gotten married since then and no post. One little side note, the triplets will have their anniversaries in the same week! DoRena and Sam got married on May 31; Nick and I had our 3rd anni on June 4; and Rachael and Michael got married on June 7! Back to news that was never posted on here...I never even said anything about being pregnant again and now I have just 9 weeks until little Susie should make her appearance.
So, here it is, the first year in a while that I haven't gone to a HT conference. For the most part I've been too involved in my own little life to even think about it. However, a few people from my church and and part of my family went so I couldn't completely ignore it, It was pretty weird seeing all the pictures on Facebook of people having fun--without me! ;0)
On the other hand, that kind of thing does not sound like fun to me at all anymore. My definition of fun mainly involves doing something that allows me to be home for a good part of the afternoon for Sita's naptime ;0) Then, maybe I can have a little time for myself (mostly to hurry and do whatever cleaning/ laundry that needs to be done) and Sita might even have an improvement in her attitude for the evening. Some days it's hard enough taking care of her just at the house--I can't imagine what she would be like at a conference all week long! Okay, actually I could imagine it but it sounds so energy draining at a time I don't have any energy to begin with.
This is not to say I don't like my time with my little baby (I mean my Big girl! ) because I do love every second of it. She is such a smart and amazing little girl (I mean Big girl). She is really talking---alot! and putting words together. For instance, if she wants to be carried down the stairs she'll reach out and say "I carry you". She also looves to look for something and say "where'd it go? Where's doggie? There he is!" And she'll name the names of everyone she knows (it's amusing to listen to her and see how her brain works in the way she'll say a name and it will remind her of another person and so on). She's really into swings and coloring and "Stoobi-doo-where are you?" and figuring out the whole potty thing. Anyway, I could go on for pages about her but will stop now before I bore people too much ;0)
Anyway, what was I saying? oh, yes, if I went to a conference I would end up being miserable and making everyone around miserable. I did have a dream during the first conference that I went and was able to go to all the sessions with an adorable girl quietly playing in my lap/ sleeping. Now that really is a dream! She is not capable of going anywhere without having at least one screaming fit that leaves me feeling like embarrassed and sorry for everyone around me. Either that or she gives people the "evil eye" and makes them feel like she hates them or something (which really isn't true...that's just what she does. I've been told that that's from her Greek side)
I guess I'll stop here. I was trying to come up with a better conclusion but between my brain that never works and the fact that it's probably close to 90 degrees in our computer room (and I really really need to get Sita up from her nap if I want her to sleep tonight) I am at a loss for words. So, until next time (which hopefully will be before another birth announcement is made)!

I'm pleased to see you blogging again, Naomi. Almost as pleased as I was to see you, yourself, in person, at my Beanie's wedding earlier this year. Can't believe that's been going on two months ago already. Actually, it's hard for me to believe it's been three years since you and Nick got married (or is it up to four years now?). Life keeps flying by, and I'm afraid that I can't keep up with it very well.
Rest assured, the days will come quickly enough when your Big girl is even bigger, all grown up and getting married herself. I know how hard those toddler years can be sometimes; and I'm sure it's even harder for you, as a Mom, especially this close to delivering another baby. But persevere, one day at a time, and keep doing the good work that God has given you to do. I'm proud of the wife and mother you have become (if it's not inappropriate for me to say so, as your friend and former pastor). I'll always be proud of the fact that I got to officiate your wedding, which still stands out as one of the stellar days in the orbit of my life and pastoral ministry.
God bless you, Naomi, and your dear family.
