And......hello!

Well hi! It's been awhile. Sometimes life hits you full-force, as I'm sure it does for each of you from time to time. But I'm back (at least until I take my next extended blogging break, right?!)

Well, my two-month-old of yesterday is now 5 months old! And I love him. He is happy happy happy and I'm loving his cooing, strangled bird sounds, and belly laughs (which also faintly resemble some sort of bird or duck sound at times). He sleepeth in his own crib now (unless the weather turns chilly and he needs some extra snuggling) and yes, that makes 3 kids in 1 room. So far, so good.

Here's the little Grant man, who we sometimes call Humphrey (Why, you ask? Not sure really, just seemed like a good idea at the time).


Keri is doing well. She is funny and cute and dramatic and willful...but she's two, so that's to be expected. And because she has the shadow of an older brother to reckon with, she sometimes finds herself wishing she were four years old and not two. Maybe that's why I am loving this picture (she dressed herself...doesn't she always?).


Here she is back in her own clothes:


And then there is my Braden. He is full of imagination and ideas and projects that he has envisioned that must be done right now. Today he asked me if we could make some robots out of tires to sell like the Michelin man? Ummmm...sure. Not sure where that idea came from but I asked Tom when he came home and he said there is a Michelin man at Costco they saw or something. Anyway, below he is dressed up as Captain Moroni and the tie-tied-to-a-wooden-dowel is his Title of Liberty. You know, in case you couldn't tell. There is nothing I love more than kids using their imagination!



And now I'll get working on some more blog posts here very soon. Hope you are doing well!
