um...we've been kind of busy

this picture about sums it up. 

But let me just say that we are all moved into the new house, we did NOT get a moving truck so it was all done in small trips with help from my mom and brother.  Tomorrow I do a final walk through of the old house, take a few more raspberries, wax the floor and turn in the keys.  Once the kids and I kick this cold we got (again, I think a month of GO GO GO has caught up with us) and normalcy returns maybe, just maybe I will:

1. finish writing the thank you notes for Natalie's birthday
2. work regularly again
3. start sleep training Natalie so I don't get kicked in the face all night and she's not up until 1030 every night, seriously what kind of bad parent lets their 13 month old stay up until 1030??
4. plant the trees Roxanne brought us
5. sew something in my new craft room, yes I have a craft room (that I share with Loren's office and is becoming more and more office as I fail to claim my space, I need to go up and mark my territory)
6. read a book, maybe the one I just got... Our babies, Ourselves... I don't even know where it is...
7. wash the floor, haven't even done that yet!
8. knit.  I started a soaker, by the time I get it done it won't fit her
9. re-connect with lost friends... we miss you pre-school buddies!

and now I will go make dinner with a toddler on my back because separation anxiety has set in full force around here.

I haven't forgotten you all... I'm just running around like a chicken with my head cut off.

just for fun

Aiden is posing


He requested this picture, and set it up himself. " I want you over there and I'll sit on the steps while you take my picture" it turned out well, too bad he's naked

Natalie chilling with me in her blue bathing suit. Why does a not even 3 month old need a bathing suit you ask.... because it's so darn cute that's why!!

it's really a fake tankini... Modesty is important in our family, can't you tell?

lost in the leaves

look at how cute her tushie looks!

Yesterday in the yard Aiden was doing tricks while I video taped him. There was another video with lots of tricks but at the end he came over and farted bu the camera then announced it. I decided it wasn't the big finish I was looking for. We have been keeping cool in the kiddie pool, Aiden likes to trow things in it not actually play in it but oh well. Natalie has been keeping cool with cool baths at night and lots of nursing. I don't see how she could be in the 25 %, look at her! but oh well. Hope you enjoy, Happy 4th everyone!!
