I'm slowly making my way back, I'll have to visit Traci when I get a moment too.
We've all had a massive fluctuation, it's insane. I got two jobs on the go, both part time as none are able to give full time. One for the post office and another as a pharmacy tech. I can see the possible reason as to why Nicky isn't around much, working a lot I'm assuming. @gaz still around? I'll have to check as well when I get a minute.
The kids have changed so much. They are doing good, I have my youngest showing that she's like me more and more for the creepy things haha. My son is in his preteen years - a fun and interesting rollercoaster. My 2nd child is very sassy still, she's 9 with the attitude of a 15yr old. There's still time to help her through these emotions XP
How's your niece doing?
I haven't seen Gaz on here in a while, but I think I follow him on Instagram and see a post every now and then. I think we've all gotten pretty busy in the 3-D world!
Glad to hear you have one out of the three who likes the spooky stuff! My sister got my other sister some horror movie icons in Christmas ornaments for her tree because she likes Halloween so much. I think at least Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers?
My niece starts 1st grade tomorrow! Crazy how the time flies. Not to mention how early school starts here. She seems excited, though. It's been fun to watch her start to blossom socially through kindergarten to now. She's made more friends and knows a ton of the people in the school. Of course it's a double-edged sword, because she had birthday parties all summer long, so I feel like I hardly got to see her. I'm sure that will only get "worse" as she gets older, but hopefully she'll never be too cool to hang out with her aunt Katie. ;)
We definitely are busy in the 3D world.
Those christmas ornaments are awesome! I have seen them before and many other horror type ornaments as well but man are they expensive.
I'm sure your niece will always love to hang out with you. You girls are close and you always have made it a point to spend time with her and that sticks to a kid. It changes as they get older but they still like to be close. My one niece is soon 20 and she still comes to visit and have sleep overs :D
