Welcome to my new look... and the new blog title! Yes, you are at the right place - the header used to say "Our Little Russian Peanut" and even though the title has changed (for now), the blog address has not! We just recently passed our one year "Gotcha Day" anniversary and are about to enter Alex's senior year and Andrew's second year in our family so this blog is really all about our family. With the help of my sister, we decided "Controlled Chaos" pretty much described our life, although "controlled" might be a stretch!
So, now I have a new pretty blog and the only challenge will be finding time in which to write! I really hope to blog as much as possible about Alex's senior year. We have senior pictures on Wednesday, a quick college tour next Monday and Tuesday, school starts the 10th and a partridge in a pear tree. Did I mention chaos???
We spent the weekend with a sick little boy. Andrew went from fine to sick in a matter of what seemed like minutes. At 11:30 Friday, we had him in a tub trying to bring his almost 104 degree temperature back down. He was congested, lethargic and very clingy. The weekend was spent indoors and let's just say that I think I've memorized Noggin's TV schedule (as my mind starts singing "Wonder Pets, Wonder Pets....") Andrew spent the day home with daddy today and daddy is now drinking a glass of wine. :-) Andrew was bouncing off walls to put it mildly and is definitely feeling 100% better.
I'm off to bed... tomorrow is the first full day of preschool and if last week was any indication, I think Andrew is going to have to be peeled off of me in tears when he gets to his new classroom. I keep hoping it was only because he wasn't feeling well but I think the change is bothering him a bit.
Have a great week!

Loving your new look -- very fresh and inviting!! Isn't it wild, and wonderful, that we are now blogs about life beyond the adoption process? It is a beautiful thing, and I look forward to reading all about your handsome boys' latest adventures...
You are so creative! I LOVE it! The new header is perfect for both boys. Cheers to a great Senior Year for Alex and a smooth transition to a new class for Andrew!
I LOVE the new look and title, Becky! I hope you find the time to blog, because I really enjoy reading your stuff!
Oh my goodness! I love it! How did you DO that? I want to know... so when you find time shoot me an email! I know how busy you are! But like Barb, I miss you when yuo aren't blogging... I love reading all about your life.
Tell us how Andrew's first full day went... I am sure he will get more adjusted as he becomes more comfortable in his class.
Like the new combined look. Alex should have a lot of input being his senior year. Does Andrew realize Alex will be gone next year? Wonder how he is going to take that Big Brother won't be there? Like everyone else, I don't know what's happening without the blog, but definately understand why you don't have time to do it. Sending Andrew BIG box for his 4th Birthday coming up. Love you all.
I too love the new blog! Perfect!
Looks great!!
Really pretty header. Boy you do have two extremes going on don't you...only you can handle it. You are a wonderful Mommy.
Glad that Andrew is better and hope that preschool goes better than expected.
Hope you can rest and maybe watch some adult tv. ;)
I love it! And the new name is perfect!
Great job on the new look and name. Hope Andrew adjusts to the day care soon. It's tough leaving them when they are clinging on. The few times I have had to do that I've called back to check on him and they said that he quit crying and started playing as soon as I was out of the building. This made me feel better so maybe it would help you too.
I love the new look and the new name!! How true it is!!
I'm so glad Andrew is better - that fever would have panicked me!
What a houseful you have between dogs, cats, a teen and a tyke - oh yeah and a husband!!! Chaos for sure!
LOVE the new look!
I hope he has a smooth transition - poor little guy, it's hard at first, but it will get better.
Hang in there (both of you!)
Just wanted to say the new blog looks awesome! I've got to catch up on reading them! I love the new title!
