Some Holiday pics that I can't adjust the size

Shaking The Dust Off Our Feet

Hello there. Remeber me? Yes....I'm a bit dusty...and so is my house. A good friend of mine had to light a fire under me and actually remind me that I have a blog! Life has been adventurous and I am feeling quite old these days! The top picture was taken in July (obviously...I don't make my kids wear red white and blue all the time!) and the bottom picture was taken in December (again..obviously) I can't believe how much kids change in such a short amount of time. It's nuts. Nico just turned 4 and Lulu is 2 1/2 going on 16. I found her baby in the corner today...and I said "Lu what did your baby do that she had to stay in the corner all day?" her reply..."She just pooped me out mom"....alrightyyyy...feeling like mother of the year of here. Just seeing her doll in the corner made my heart hurt..but...gotta tough love 'em through it right?!

Charlie and I have a lot of laughs. Just when we start to feel like we are hitting a stride with this parenting thing...we trip an fall over and end up with road rash all over! Parenting continues to humble us in ways I coulndn't have ever imagined. Hearing my children express themselves..(positively or negatively) provokes so many emotions in me. Here are these amazing little souls that are filled to brim with the energy f life. They are my purpose. I have never loved anyone or anything as much as I love this family. Never thought it was possible...period.

On a different note...I can't stop laughing because when I was trying to wrap my mind around what a blog was...and had to have a certain wonderful friend educate me over and over and over....I can't stop giggling! It's like I'm from a different planet (which I'm not ruling out) but it was so abstract and completely off my radar and out of my comfort zone....and yet here I am. Typing away so the world can peek into my life. Crazy.

Well...it's hard to cram a full year into a couple of paragraphs so I will end for now. I have to try and figure out how to post more pics...this was the best I could do after 20 attempts :)

Until next time
