And Now You Know How My Diary Feels

I have a journal in which every entry begins with "Dear Diary, I'm sorry it's been so long since I wrote. I promise I'm going to write more. This time I mean it..." I got that journal when I was in the first grade and half its pages are still empty.

But this is not that journal.

This is my blog and I had been without my computer until Saturday. That is not an excuse. That is my reason why.

Another thing I would do in my journal (after apologizing for my sporadic record-keeping) is write a really, really long, yet completely undetailed/unorganized account of everything that happened since I last made an entry. You know--something like "Merry Christmas! Sorry it's been so long. In May, school got out and I had a fun summer..."

What I'm about to do is very similar. But with pictures...


I looked like this at the hospital just before I begat Adric.


Adric was a little sour at the nurses for making us wait for the doctor to come
before they'd let me push him out.

But he got over it and went to sleep.


Karlee had her 3rd Birthday.

She had some of her 'neighbors' over for a little party. (She calls her friends 'my neighbors').



Kade didn't care much for the party, but he thought the cake was good.


We had a week of the most beautiful warm weather fall has ever seen.



We spent most of that time outside...


Then there was Halloween...

Kade thought the whole thing was pretty tasty.


Karlee thought it was all so fun and spooky.

Adric didn't get too excited. He just slept.


They were all happy to take a bath when the whole thing was over.


What? They don't look happy? Well, Adric was happy to take his first bath.

I love cuddling with a clean baby fresh out of the tub and lathered with lotion.


While I was off being a good mom, Karlee burnt her hand on the element of the stove. 5 days later her hand looked like this. It was too gruesome to photograph before that...

Even with going to the doctor day after day and the Eagles losing week after week, she is still as happy as a cheerleader.

And even though Kade has 3 molars breaking at the same time, there ain't nothing gonna stop a little chocolate pudding from putting a smile on his face.

Or you could just send him outside if you don't want to make pudding.


Oh, and one more picture. The kids were copying Brock when he was doing yoga. Very funny.


Namaste.
