Jessica got braces today. She looks darling. Joshua is now rolling over both ways(front to back & back to front). He's still no where near sleeping thru the night. Woe is me. My Mommy and Daddy are back from AK. I missed them. Jordan's been in town thank goodness. He says he's in a funk. He and I have been taking turns being grumpy. Luckily we can laugh about it so it's working out pretty well. I can't believe school starts on Mon. I'm not ready at all and we're leaving for Price tomorrow to visit Jordan's family. Baby's crying again. I love you people--you are amazing cheer leaders.

No Frills

Thank goodness for sleep. I'm a new woman. Just wanted to explain that there will be no awesome backgrounds, cool music, or anything much creative (or coherent for that matter)--at least not until my kids grow a little more. Can you say overwhelmed. Yes you all can, I know, you've been there. 

I read your amazing blogs and stand in awe at the thoughts you think. You are amazing people! Most of my thoughts these days are "gotta do" thoughts . . . gotta do the laundry, gotta go grocery shopping, gotta change a diaper, gotta get the dishes done, gotta feed everyone (again), etc. And yet this stage of life is wonderful. The way the baby smiles every time he sees me. The way my oldest daughter asks questions profound beyond her years. The way my toddler loves to be funny like that's the point of his existence. The way my 5 yr. old noticed I was quiet yesterday and cared that I was sad. The way my Bina Boo entertains her siblings with no prompting from me. The way all the kids experience the newness of this life with such fascination and joy.

Yup, the sleeplessness and gotta do stage is pretty good. I'll be creative later--it's worth the wait.  

New Blog

Thank you Heather Shepherd for helping a technologically challenged me to overcome my fears. This blogging thing aint so hard. Today has sucked until now. Ive been on the verge of crying over nothing. I'm so sleeped deprived and am sure I'll feel better in the morning. Baby Joshy had his 4 mo. check up yesterday. Poor thing had 3 shots and 1 oral vaccination which made him miserable, but he seems to be recovering now. Baby is crying so ta ta for now!
