So, I finally got a new header up (thank you Aaron!) now I just need to do a new post! I'm just feeling uninspired about posting! I've started a post with more pics that I took before Christmas, so hopefully that one will be up soon.

Aaron surprised me recently by ordering a new lens that I had mentioned to him (thank you again, Aaron!) I used it to take the pics in my new header, and I must say....I'M IN LOVE!! Speaking of love, this picture seems "Valentiney" to me with the pink and red in it!



So I'm still here! Thank you if you're still coming back!

Under Construction...Still!



.....really just a remodel, but I apologize for the mess here! If you were notified yesterday and today, that I had updated my blog, like, 20 times, you probably knew that was a mistake. I don't think I've updated my blog 20 time in the past YEAR! This has taken longer than I thought since my husband has taken over the computer at nights working on his 20 year high school reunion. So, my computer time has all been limited to during the day when there are kids to homeschool, noses to wipe, fights to break up (and reconcile!), meals to make, diapers to change, books to read to little ones, etc, etc, etc, and blogger freaking out on me! Oh, and that laundry! It keeps on popping up! Didn't I just wash those same clothes two days ago? And putting up the clean clothes that my children put in the dirty clothes basket when they are "cleaning" up their rooms....oh, I'm digressing!! What was my point...oh, I have about five minutes here and there to get this blog put back together, and I'm not getting very far, very fast. Bear with me. Hopefully soon it will be new and improved!!

One the plus side, I did bake two loaves of bread, cook 10 lbs. of hamburger meat to freeze, and am smelling a huge pot of chili cooking for dinner. Ahh...something productive!

Conversation with my two year old


Tonight I had the funniest insight to what kids really think of parents. It went something like this:
Ava: "Mommy!"
Me: ignoring
Ava: "MOMMY!!!!"
Me: "What?"
Ava: "COME HERE A SECOND!!"
Me: noticing there's no real urgent sound to her call, "I'm busy!"
Ava: "NO YOU NOT, YOU MOMMY!!"
Can I change my name to "Busy?"
