I am out of town meeting my new niece! Click here to get to blog sis Chris's page and see pix of the latest addition to the Bresnan family, look for updates tonight! I am guest blogging for her and posting them to her page for now and will do more here when I get home. Congrats!
I am taking the docs advice and taking a week off, leaving the kids with their Grandparents and Dad and am getting outta town for the weekend. Guess where I'm headed?! To ATL of course to be there for blogger sis Chris's delivery on Friday morning. Taking the lap top with me, so check back for baby pix! Can't wait...stay tuned for all the gory details soon, LOL!
OK, so here I am saying I'm sorry again for not being able to keep up with the blog. I am letting you all know in this post what we have been dealing with and then hope to move on to happier posts. I decided to leave my husband back in March and we are going through a divorce at this time. It's been for coming for a few years and got to the point that became clear to me that it couldn't be saved. This is not a decision I take lightly and am saddened by it. We haven't been living together for over 2 months. The girls are adjusting as well as can be expected at this point, we are blessed to have a wonderful support network including family friends, guidance counselors, therapists, and recently new friends at church. We are all now at a point where we are starting to move on and get back to some sort of normalcy, so I hope to be able to find the time and energy soon to post some of the things I've missed.
I'm not saying anything to solicit sympathy (but prayers would be appreciated), but so you all will understand if I disappear from time to time. It's just a difficult time right now. I have been reading your blogs all the while, but just couldn't find it in me to write anything, hope you all understand and will keep checking back in on the girls and I when you can. Happy Independence Day to you and yours too!!!
I have been a very poor blogger lately. It has been a very busy time with birthdays, holidays, the end of the school year, etc. I have also been going through a very difficult and stressful peronal issue and haven't felt too much like putting on a happy blogger face. I hope you all understand and forgive me for neglecting you. I have been trying to get caught up with all of you first and then will get my update posts going. The girls are at the beach with my parents for a week and as I've had insomnia latley ( as you can see by the timestamp of this post), I should be up to speed before they get back. I am honestly enjoying the peace and quiet at home more than I thought I would so far, LOL! Hope you are all having a great weekend...please check back again soon for more to come from our corner of the world!

Sorry for the delay, but here are the photos from Chris's baby shower. It was sooo nice! Everything was so pretty and good and everyone had a great time! Chris looked great (and very happy) and baby Bresnan to be #2 got completely spoiled! I had a wonderful time up there and enjoyed the hospitality of Missy and her family very much...I didn't want to come home, LOL! Here are some snaps from the special day:
The Guest of Honor: Mommy To Be Chris...doesn't she look great?!
The decor was beautiful and the nibbles yummy, Missy really outdid herself as hostess! I have to add that her adorable little one Graison helped too. :)
Tara, Mike's Mom and sister and Kim
Party People :)
Pile o baby gifts...wow! This baby is blessed for sure!
Aunt Kimmie made a scrapbook for Baby's first year like Lindsay got. :)
Lindsay and Evan(Tara's son from Evan's Life blog) entertained themselves during the gift opening. They were so cute together!
Lots and lots of pretty pink presents like this one!
Lindsay opens a "Big Sister" gift, she likes presents and had fun with this...

Chris's sister Pat brought the cutest cake...look closely, it's cupcakes!
Lindsay loves to Sit n Spin!
Missy, Chris, and Kim
Hope it was everything you hoped for Chris and that everyone enjoyed welcoming this new baby as much as I did. I have to send out thank you shout outs to Karen for taking the pictures, a very special friend for making the CD favors, Helen for bringing yummy goodies to eat, Pat for bringing the cake, and to Missy for everything!!! I'm so glad I could be there to help celebrate and get some time with The Bresnan's and Missy's family. Love Ya Girls!
Nothing much going on here this week blogger pals, just wanted to post so no one would worry that I dropped off the face of the earth again, ha ha! Busy and stressful week at work, plenty of unnecessary drama, and life as usual with all the business that 2 kids bring. We've had a trip to the zoo with Dad, sleepovers with BFF's, a birthday party, visit from family, and a trip to the skating rink...whew!
I am headed out of town next weekend and cannot wait...counting down the days! Details and pics when I get back. I think for the time being I'm going to have to be a "weekend blogger" as my time is less my own than usual right now. I hope you all are well and had a great weekend!!!!
