I haven't written in this thing forever. Life has been pretty stinkin' awesome and a crazy whirlwind of life is goodness:
In August , Ben and I got a place in the Northeast (Philly)... Tacony- Mayfair to be exact. I like living in this neighborhood, but I miss Fairmount and the Art Museum and walking all over the place in Center City. Sill, I am content in this place. We live in a row home on the top two floors Our landlord, a chiropractor, has his practice on the ground floor. After many trips to Ikea and purchases from craigslist (holla for recycled furniture)- this place feels like home.
Four days a week we have the chillins which has transformed me into a Mom over the past year or two. Sweet Jesus I am a mom to three wild chillins aka "the Wild Bunch" :
Isaac, 8 (aka : "Dino.Ike", "Isaac Russell Gomez Scrappy Fenderson Hamilton")
Gloria, *almost 6 (aka: "Glory", "Glorybug", Gloria Jean Twilleger Fenderson Hamilton")
Ian, *almost 3 (aka ; "Ian the wild", "The Stinker", "Ian Montgomery Wisenhower Fenderson Hamilton')
By far, (aside from Ben) the Wild Bunch brings me more joy than I could have ever imagined! Homework and potty training and jumping on top of me at 5am on a Saturday and singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" a million times and being bombarded with hugs and kisses and "I Love You's" when I walk in the door from work. All of it has just been wonderful and enlightening, watching them laugh, and learn and grow/ Everytime they walk out the door, I miss them in the craziest way. They just bring so much sunshine to my life! I don't know what I would do without Ben and the kids...
