Hi Veronica and PositivelyMommy,
I'm doing well...and have been having a great weekend with my older boy. We miss having his baby brother with us this weekend - but I'm sure he's having fun with B's family...so we just focused on making the most of our time together.

I think we may have found a new apartment yesterday - and S11 was very excited about it - especially the view from what would be his bedroom. We just have to wait to hear from the building owners now and see if I meet their standards....

During our drive to the dumpling house last night, S11 and I had just an amazing conversation. Out of the blue he told that he thought I didn't look complete when I was still with B. He said that I had this look on my face like I just wasn't complete. I asked him what he meant by complete - and if he thought I still had that look - to which he said that I look a lot more complete to him now. As for what it means to be complete, his suggestion was to "go with the flow more" and just try to live in the moment...I told him that I might have to kick his butt for figuring out at 11 what took me 38 years to learn...he loved that.

I'm hoping that my boys will be able to meet some other kids when we move. It does make a huge, huge difference for them to have friends. S2 has his little collection of friends at his school - but I'll still have to make a point of getting out more and spending time with other people that have kids. That's a great reminder, PM. Thank you.

I have a bothersome cold this morning...hopefully not the flu (which S2 had all week) - so I'm going to have to wrangle S11 into making breakfast this morning...

Happy Sunday to all...

-Carlos.
