It's Here! It's Here! It's Finally Here!

My camera that is! And it's technically not HERE, it's at my brother-in-law's house (I think). So it's just in my general vicinity but I'm still excited!

In other news:

Here is what the inside of my UGLIFRUIT looks like! It was really very tasty (a little sour, but I think it wasn't perfectly ripe). On the label it said to eat it sliced in half like a grapefruit, but next time I'm peeling it like a orange and eating it that way.


I HATE croup!!! My head knows it isn't as bad as it sounds and it's just baby laryngitis. But my heart never believes it. Shoshannah is still incredibly happy even though she has a pathetic cough! Unfortunately she isn't sleeping, poor little baby girl,,.and me!

My kids literally ADORE their baby sister! I wish I could remember and document all the little kindnesses they show to her all day EVERYDAY. I hope they always feel that way about her! It turns my heart to mush watching them love on her!

This weather is REALLY starting to wear on me! In the next 10 days it isn't predicted to get above 45° and it's supposed to rain/snow 7 of those days. :-( Come on already spring! Is this the longest winter on record or what?!?

I have been offered a couple new opportunities for this coming fall. I really want to do ALL of them but I'm trying to decide if I really can handle that much on my plate.

I'm SOOO ready for a vacation! Five more weeks and counting.

And now it's time for bed...I'm SO ready! Here's hoping for a full night's rest!

Twins 73 Months Apart

Isn't the resemblance crazy?!
Shoshannah is about the same size Leia was at 4 months.
But they are definitely cut from the same cloth!

Gaius' Bucket List:

  1. Go to Taco Bell
  2. Go to Wendy's
  3. Go to Build-a-Bear

Something New

I've decided to expand our palettes by trying one new food every week. This is what I picked up this week. Can you guess what it is?
Everyone liked it except Gaius.

This Glamorous Life

  • A completely lazy, uneventful weekend! (Quadruple like!)
  • Two kids signed up for baseball/teeball
  • One bathroom closet completely organized!!!
  • LAUNDRY!
  • Too much Angry Birds
  • A little Sudoku
  • A few sibling quarrels resolved
  • Lots of snow melted....and then some returned to us. (Oh NY you kill me!)
  • Income taxes filed
  • The HOPE of spring's arrival renewed
  • One very excited and sassy 4 year old moves up in Sunday school ("Mom you've got to get your booty moving or we're going to be late for church.")
  • Correction for said 4 year old
  • 2 very good sermons that I really needed to hear (plus a Sunday school class).
  • One afternoon nap.
So begins another week.
How was your weekend?!

Leia to Gaius (who wouldn't do what she asked him to do)- "Oh! I hate you!"

Me- "LEIA!!"

Leia to Gaius- "Oops! I meant to say I love you!"

Half a Year


I'm confused when Shoshannah's 6th month begins, was it yesterday? Is it tomorrow?
Oh well! Here's the important stuff:
14 lbs 3 oz.
26 inches
Wearing some 6-9 months clothes
Sitting up by herself briefly
Likes to watch TV (yuck!)
Likes baby oatmeal, rice cereal, and bananas
Still has a gorgeous gummy grin
Is fixated with her tongue (obvi.)
Sleeps for at least 10 hours every night
Super easy going and happy
Hilarious
