M.I.A...

So, we've kind of been M.I.A. lately and for this I apologize. Seussical is now done and I must admit, it is wonderful to be able spend about half a second with my husband when he gets home form work! For the past 2 months, I've been having to leave to rehearsal or a performance as soon as he gets home from work. I think he's pretty happy about having me back too. Anyways, Seussical was amazing and I am so grateful to John for making me audition for it!! I hadn't done a show in over 2 years before this one, and let me tell you how nice it's been to be back on stage doing something I love!! I have made so many good friends that I seriously hope I'm able to keep in contact with. Thanks Steph for casting me and letting me be part of something so amazing!! Thanks Tammy for giving me confidence to do something I'm terrified to do. Thanks Candice for letting me violate you, accepting the love I have for you, and for helping me with Curtains. Thanks Debbie for being so much fun and having a stinking cute baby for my baby to play with. Thanks Elisha for also being my "family" and for teaching me how to put on my eyelashes. Thanks Lorri for being my twin, my backstage/make-up/treat buddy and for the great faces on closing night. I could go on and on about every single person, but I think that might make for a very long and boring post.

So instead I will post humiliating pictures of myself thanks to Kate Johnson(who is an amazing photographer!)
"I'm Gertude McFuzz..."

"I'll have the biggest tail!"

I just don't even have words for this photo...

"The One-Feathered Tail of Miss Gerturde McFuzz"

"Notice anything different?"

As for the rest of my family... Lucy is walking all over the place!!! I love it. It's so much fun! I don't know if it's just me but it seems like literally overnight she went from being my baby girl to a toddler full of attitude. She's not a baby anymore. She's a little girl. She talks so much and loves to sing and dance. She is also the BIGGEST diva and drama queen I have ever met. She must get that from her daddy...hehe ;) Other than that, things are pretty laid back here at the Matern home. John's busy with work and scouting, Lucy is a diva, and I get to love them both and have a blast doing it! Seriously, does life get better than that? I don't think so...

She was mad because I took away a clod of dirt she was eating... I'm the meanest mom ever:)

This is just cute. She does this all the time. She just takes a little rest when she's playing...
The 2 loves of my life...
