Donna's Diversions

Augustus's Blog Family Page Geneology Family Album

1704 Alvin and I have officially reached our twilight years. Won't be long before all the kids have left for college. Augustus should be back home soon though. 1702 Honey has hit puberty and seems to only be interested in getting pleasure out of life. She reminds me TOO much of my own youth *sigh*. We took a nice vacation to Three Lakes. I wish we'd done this before Augustus had left for college. 1701 Augustus seems so young to be leaving for college already. Am I just being clingy? Is this the beginning of empty nest syndrome? It's hard to believe that I was his age when I left for college. I felt so grown up and ready to take on the world. 1697 I will miss the pitter patter of little feet in the house. Paul will be starting school this year, and I'm starting to regret the decision to stop at three kids. 1696 Augustus has become overly concerned with money as he enters his teen years. 1694 Honey has finally started school. 1693 Poor Alegra had one last game of fetch with the Grim Reaper. Was hoping Honey would be in school by the time Paul started crawling. Is hectic, to say the least, to keep TWO of them out of the toilet. 1691 We had another beautiful bouncing baby boy, Paul. 1690 Honey has started crawling. With a little luck, we might have her potty trained before the new baby comes. 1689 We enrolled Augustus in school, but found he has a bit of a stubborn streak in him. I swear the only thing he'll wear is his pirate costume from last halloween. Alvin says to let him wear whatever he wants, he's not hurting anyone. I suppose he has a point but it is just so bizarre. 1688 While morning sickness is no picnic, I am truly blessed to be pregnant again! 1687 A beautiful little girl was granted to us. We named her Honey because she is just sweet as can be. 1685 Dang, Augustus sure grew up fast. No savoring the joy of cuddling a baby or that sweet powdery baby smell. Makes me really glad that we lost no time making the next one. Alvin is such a dang fool. He was out searching for aliens all night and came in absolutely blue with cold! 1684 I couldn't help myself. Alegra was so cute and friendly at the pet shop, I just had to bring her home. She's a bit of a nightmare though *sigh*. I don't think she's the sharpest knife in the drawer. She isn't housetrained, chews everything in sight, and made herself a complete nuisance in general. We had to build a pen for her outside until she learns to atleast pee outside. I think she is atleast paper trained, as she wet on it. Or possibly just showing her displeasure at being out in the snow and peeing on the only thing available that she could find. 1683 We had a little delay with the conception, but finally our baby was born! And a son at that. I just know he is destined for great things and gave him a stong name for it. Meet our son, Augustus, isn't he precious? 1677 What a wonderful day this was! We had a beautiful wedding, the whole family came. It kind of sucked that Alvin had to leave in the middle of the reception, but it paid off. He was promoted to game designer! 1676 Alvin proposed during his graduation party. We moved into the cutest little house, just on the next street over from mom and dad. We're planning to get married right away. 1674 I've dated quite a few guys since I started college. On one hand, I feel guilty cheating on Alvin. But on the other hand, I think it was a good thing. It sounds weird, I know, but I never truly appreciated Alvin's kind and thoughtful character until after dating guys that weren't. 1672 Alvin and I headed to college together. I was accepted at Sim State University though, while he went to La Fiesta Tech. I think I'm glad about this. We've been together forever, and I probably will marry him some day. But that doesn't mean I can't sow some wild oats before then ;) 1670 Karen has left for college and I have our room alll to myself YIPPEE!! But not for long though as I'll be headed to college myself soon enough. 1667 I can't believe they forgot my birthday. Then again, atleast dad didn't throw some lame geekfest and call it a birthday party. And people can't figure out why teens want to be rebellious. Poor mom is knocked up again, how embarrassing.
