Sheesh, I can’t believe this much time has passed since I’ve updated this blog. Bad blog mommy.
I’ll be honest, though. There have been many days when I’d say to myself, “I really need to post something at Up North Mommy,” but then I’d get distracted with something and then, swoosh, the idea went right out of my head.
So, since it’s been a while, let me provide a quick update about the family.
First, Sammy is alive and well. The last time I posted here I said she had to go onto another round of antibiotics but what I didn’t follow up with was that three days after this last round of meds, her infection came back again. That was when I called the vet and asked if she could remain on antibiotics permanently, so that was what we did. And she’s doing great. She’s healthy, happy, and active. We’re thrilled.
Littlest One has been a real challenge. At one moment he’s so sweet, affectionate, and funny, but if he does not get his way, bam, he’s screeching bloody murder. Many days I look forward to bedtime. And Little Miss Throwsafit has been enjoying preschool. She now rides the bus home every day and loves it. Little Man loves first grade and has made a lot of friends.
The school system our kids go to was named one of Michigan’s best schools because of its focus on the arts and was featured on The Best Schools in Michigan on WXYZ.com.
Steve has been busy with our business up north that just opened, so he’s gone on weekends. The kids and I will join him off and on through the rest of the school year and will be up north fully time at the end of June. Until then, I have a wonderful babysitter who comes over on most Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to help me with the kids or to just give me a break. It’s heavenly to have some time to myself so I can destress.
Here are a few images I took lately:
They’re saying “cheese.” Can you tell?

This is what Littlest One was wearing tonight as he was scavenging through the pantry for a snack: the same birthday hat as above with his Cars summer PJs and Buzz Lightyear Boots. He’s a sight, isn’t he? What a goofball.

I don’t have any recent pictures of Little Man, but I’ve got video of him with the other first graders singing in the Spring concert. Once I get it off my Blackberry I’ll post it.
