You may be wondering about the name "livi girl." When I first started with this whole online community stuff, I wanted to maintain some anonymity (and yet I put up pictures of my boys for all to see?). But when you choose an online user name for yourself, you are choosing an identity, one name to tell others who you are. So I had to ask myself - who am I? I wanted my user name to go beyond my job as a housewife or mother because I so often get caught up in those jobs that I forget there's more to me. So I didn't go for "mom of 2" or "domestic goddess." But I wanted my name to be meaningful and larger in scope. What is truly most important in my life? Well, the obvious answer is God. And the attributes of God most important to my life are love and peace. So I went to a baby names website and looked up names meaning peace. Livi was one of the names and it seemed lively and energetic, so that's how I came to have the user name "livi girl."

Don't sign me up for "Mom of the Year"...
So Carter (16 months old) walks in the room and I can tell by the smile in his eyes that he has something in his mouth.
"What's in your mouth? Spit it out." And this is what he spits out into my hand: 8 upholstery tacks and a bead.
Woah. But you know what I love about you, Val? You actually blogged about it. :) And he is totally fine, so it is all good. The things these kids find to get into...
So happy to "hear" from you again on the blog -- have been thinking about you and your boys!

Yeah, this kid's ability to find trouble is something to behold. It's probably a major reason I don't blog anymore, I have to watch him like a hawk!
More to come...
