Well, well, well. Here I am again. Stuck trying to come up with an excuse for not writing recently. I could say that the holidays were busy. I could say that we've been stressed at work. I could say that we've been feeling overwhelmed with worry over Caelan's surgery. I won't. There have been a hundred times when I've sat here with nothing better to do and just couldn't summon the energy or enthusiasm. I'll own it. Oh well. Better late than never, I guess.
The holidays of 2009 have now come and gone... during which we lost a beloved member of our family. Grammie (Your great-grandmother Gertrude Roberts, Caelan) passed away on December 26th and we all miss her dearly. She is now in heaven watching all of us work and play and enjoy our lives.
...And we are enjoying life. We took a wonderful Cropper family vacation to Disney World just after Christmas and had lots of fun. I will admit that the struggles ALMOST outweighed the fun, but, c'mon, we were at Disney. All in all, suffice it to say that I will never bring an 18 month old to Disney World at Christmastime again. The air travel, the crowds, the crying, the whining, the screaming. Caelan didn't hold up well either. (Ba dum chhh) It was, of course, all worth while to see the fam. I can't wait for February break to see them again.
So, dear Caelan, lets talk about you. You are 19 months old. You are adorable, affectionate, hilarious and fancy free. There isn't much to not like. You are ridiculously strong and athletically inclined. You can hold yourself up on a chin-up bar, climb up and down stairs with no help and run like a madman. Your laugh is infectious and your smile is to die for. I love you kiddo.
We've still been trying to make a baby brother or sister. No dice this month either. Next Friday I have my first acupuncture appointment. I hope they can help us.
I feel as though I need to brainstorm a new challenge for myself in order to increase my entries. We'll see what I can come up with.
Today I am grateful for my health. I have been taking very close care of what I eat lately and I am feeling better than I have in a long, long time as a result. I haven't had ANY sugar or dairy in almost 2 weeks. Never thought I'd see the day. It is paying off. We'll see how long I can hang in there.

Erin--You are going to LOVE accupuncture. I have done it in the past, for fertility issues too, and it is so relaxing! I think that it is better than getting a massage. Enjoy it and I truly hope it works for you. Best of luck!
