Introduction- figure it's the right place to start

Hello all- my name is Laurabeth... and my partner's name is Cecile... Yes, I am a lesbian!!

Our family- We have four children. Mia is 11. She loves to dance, is learning guitar in school, and is truly a lifesaver when it comes to running our house. I would be hard pressed to have time to do anything without her. Mindy and Terry are 9. They are mischevious, fun-loving twins. Terry is our Hip-hop dancer. While Mindy is our Kung-Fu queen. And the princess is our Celia Elizabeth... She is almost two and tags along with Mia everywhere she goes... She is also a future dancer and most likely will want to compete in Kung-Fu as well...

Our home- We make our home in Grand Falls, New Brunswick. We bought our first home together this last December. It is a house that was built in 1949 by a man who had 11 children. The children decided this last year, after their parents passed, to sell the family home. The house was on the market for 10 months before we snatched it up. The main thing that was wrong with the house was that it needed to be updated. We put in new flooring and painted of course. We also turned the washer/dryer area into a closet area. We added a patio door. We also built a new entry that extended into the garage. We are so happy to have it finished.

Our day-to-day life- Lucky me, I get to stay home and take care of our children. I get to sit on the floor and play with Célia. I get to roll around and wrestle with my oldest kids. I also get to help with homework, create healthy meals, and give out all the hugs whenever anyone needs one. Cécile, god bless her, leaves everyday around 5:15 to go to work. She doesn't return home until after 5 at night most days. We do miss her, but our time together is enjoyed even more.

My purpose in creating a blog- I decided to start blogging just to give me a space to talk about whatever I wanted. I figure in a blog, I can say whatever I want. Na-na-nana-na-na!! (and as a side note, I started blogging on Gather.com which is where I imported my first posts from)

So, here it is... If you want to check it out- Great!! If you don't- whatever... I will continue to contribute if it's all just the same to you!!
