That is what I have done to this blog. All of the above. What can I say.....life gets hectic....and now there is Facebook. So you will find me over there more than you will here. But a quick update of what is going on.....

Mr. D is still plugging along with his job, and playing some softball every once in a while. The difference is that he travels to different countries to play instead of different cities like back home.

I am starting back to work full-time tomorrow!! I'm also about to be involved in 4 fantasy football leagues. Yikes!! Just say no, just say no.....

Lil H and Lil N started Pre-K on Sunday at the American School. It's only been 2 days, but they seem to really like it. They are in separate classes. This is the first time that they have ever been apart. The teachers said that both of them seemed a little lost the first day. But I think they are adjusting. They even ride the bus home in the afternoon and think it's fun. Maybe we will transition to bus riding in the morning to give me a little extra time to get myself together for work.

This summer Lil N was diagnosed with asthma, but she is on preventative medicine now and she seems very healthy. We've been back in Doha for over a month and she has not had a runny nose or coughed once. And we've had dust storms and been going to the pool regularly. So the medicine seems to really be helping.

So catch me over on Facebook...although I may not have time for that anymore after tomorrow. We'll see.

I'll leave you with a recent video of Lil H and Lil N. This was right before bedtime one night. They were both being silly, and I'm not really sure what they were singing about. These were impromptu songs that they were making up to their bedtime music cd. The best I can tell, Lil H is singing about princesses with rainbows and castles in the sky and crowns, hearts and a horse. Lil N is also singing about her flower horse, but then starts singing about getting married and having a baby and taking care of it. Who knows where they get this stuff from. Enjoy!
