Ethan and I went to the park the other day.  It is funny how kids today don't know the same things we knew as kids.  We knew how to pump a swing.  Ethan is 6 and he doesn't know how to pump a swing.  I had to teach him.  He knows other things, though.  He knows pop culture, technology, music, among other things that didn't even come into my realm of thinking until I was much older.  I love this kid!

when i think about this paper i have 2 write i sit back and seriously think about my life and the people around me...

Am I really going to undertake this again???

Maybe to a certain extent, yes. We will just have to see. I have papers to write and kids to raise and miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep.

4 months later

WOW am I a slacker or what. Not sure who is still even checking this after 4 months of non-posting. I am going to download some pictures today from Xmas and hopefully put them up later today or maybe early next week. I'll start the new year off right an try to post more often. You know you can find me on facebook. It is a little tough though. I used Cynthia Lazo and not my more commonly known moniker "Syn-D". Anyway...
