Over Two Years Later

It has been over two years since I've last posted. Orin is now about to be 9 years old; Ben is about to be 5. I have had little Jacob now, who is trying to be potty trained. :)
Thomas left and never came back, basically. It took me months to let him go completely, but right after Jacob was born, I had had enough.
In the months after that, I came back in contact with a good friend and we have been inseparable ever since. We got married this past November and we are doing well.
It's been a terrible struggle, with more than my fair share of obstacles, but with Aaron by my side the entire way, I have gotten to a brighter life.
My children are happy.
Orin is A/B Honor Roll in 3rd grade.
Ben is one of the smartest in his Pre-k class and he is the best conversationalist. He still has trouble with certain sounds, but professionals assure me he is right on target.
Even little Jakey can pop in a DVD and play it without help and tell the waitress what he wants to eat.
I will try to post more now that I have access again.
