Q&A Time!
I saw this on my beautiful friend Emily's blog and thought it would be fun. What question would you like to ask me? It can range between what is your favorite color, what products do you use to clean your home...possibilities are endless! I will then do what Emily did and blog my answers for everyone. It has been fun to read Emily's posts and I wan to do it, too! What would you like to see more of? What would you like to know about me?
I'm looking forward to it! Thank you for stopping by!

Going ons....
Hello, dear friends (if anyone actually still reads this)! It's a beautiful day here in the great Northwest. The weather is in the mild 40's and not many clouds in the sky. It's a bit windy but not so much as to ruin a nice walk.
It's been a busy week so far. School started back up and they boys couldn't be happier. Liam loves being back into his routine, except for he's having a hard time getting up in the morning. He keeps trying to blame me for waking him up earlier because now that the time changed, it's dark outside when we get ready for school. I promised him that I didn't go and change the time worldwide, despite the fact that he thinks I'm cunning enough to do that. :) Charlie is just happy to be awake and enjoying going back to Teacher Becky at pre-school. I enjoy it because he actually takes naps on pre-school days. :) I do miss them while they are at school and think about homeschooling again. Who knows, I change my mind so much! That's what I need prayers for: making decisions and sticking to them!
I met my new doctor yesterday and I love her. She listened to me and took her time. My appointment even started on time! What a concept! They are really organized at this office. The boys have been going there to a pediatrician for a year now and we've never been tricked into going into the room and then waiting another hour for the doctor. It's so nice to go to a place that is organized and understand that our time, too, is important. I also like the fact that they have afterhours for adults and children and even if your doctor is busy, you can get in to see any other doctor. The first thing she said is that she did some research on me before our first appointment! Can you believe it??? I didn't have to sit there and re-live my entire medical history! She actually cared enough to inform herself on me, little ol' me, before we even met! Brian established care with her on Monday and he was impressed, also. She told me I had a very healthy husband, which brought out an "I told you so" from Brian. I had been nagging him about not having a check up for the last 6 years. Oh, well. It's good news!
I'm getting excited to start work again! The tax office I work at opens this week! I can't wait to get going and start another great tax season. I love my job and wish I could fit more hours in but my parental resposibilities come first. Of course, it's nice that both boys are going to school so I can squeeze in more hours while they are both gone without feeling too guilty. I also thank God for the help my mom will provide and watching Charlie on days he's not in school. If you need your taxes done, please contact me!!!
As you know, I've been loom knitting since last summer. I am crazy about learning to knit with needles but books are way too complicated for me. I'm hoping to gather some knitting friends and learn the old fashioned way. It's so relaxing. I'm really slow and hope to get better. :)
Well, friends, I think I have bored you enough. Please don't forget to leave me a comment. My blog gets so lonely lately without that many visitors. Thank you very much and God Bless!

Having some fun and things to come
I've been keeping pretty busy at home, but my heart is at peace. It's all good things.
I have taken a dive into my bible and been embraced by His Word. I crave it and yearn for it. Have you ever had days like that? I stay up later than I should just soaking it in, letting Him guide me where I need to be. I'm devouring every book I can find on faith and the goodness of our wonderful God. I can't get enough and the more I read, the more I want to read. It's amazing! As I write this, I feel that I should be reading instead. It's such an undescribable feeling.
We spent our Saturday decorating our home with all kids of Christmas goodies. We came to realize we have 6 nativity sets ranging in sizes and 6 advent calendars. You can never have enough of those, specially since we stick little treats in every day for the boys. Liam is counting down the days until December starts. I have two memorable moments this past week:
#1: I was looking through various ads getting ready to do my Black Friday shopping and I must have been commenting outload about some of the prices of things. Charlie loves to grab the newspaper and sit next to me, pretending he's reading, too. I went to kitchen to get a drink and I suddenly hear Charlie exclaim for the living room "Three thousand dollars! I want one!". Mind you he's 3 and has no concept of money yet. He doesn't even know what $3,000 is but he said it. It was so funny because when I looked over at him, he was holding the newspaper up as if he was reading and I couldn't see his little head. It was quite a moment.
#2: After listening to a plethora of Christmas music last night, I decided to pull out the Wiggles' Christmas DVD. They boys love the Wiggles and even Liam still dances along to them. After the first DVD was done and the second began, Liam looks over at me and says "Mom, I'm so glad the Wiggles believe in God."
Well, at least we all know what kind of music we can listen to in heaven! Kids crack me up.
I'm anxiously awaiting my neurologist appointment on the 2nd of December. Hopefully I will then know if I need to start the medication or not. I just want some answers, that's all.
Then, on the 3rd, I'll be celebrating 10 years since I was diagnosed with cancer! Whooohooo! It's a big landmark for survivors! I thank God everyday for allowing me to have these past 10 years!
Well, my friends, please don't forget to leave me a comment. I love to know when someone drops by. My blog has been a little lonely lately.
Love,
Carolina
