Yes, I'm still alive! A lot has happened since my last post in February. Soon after my last post, I found out that I was having another baby! I was so looking forward to posting the first ultrasound pictures, etc. Then came the nausea and fatigue, needless to say all of the gumption I once had was lost and I went into survival mode. Soon after, Ryan decided to walk. I know the usual phrase is "learned to walk" but at almost 14 months old, decided is more fitting. Anyway, it's funny how blogging cute updates about my family was bumped off of the to-do list very quickly.
I am now 25 weeks, having a girl, and starting to feel a little more get up and go. I hoped to be back on the blogging band wagon until my camera didn't seem to want to let my computer see any of the pictures I've taken in the last five months, so for now we'll just have to settle for words.

Winter fun


Abby with the snowman she made.

Ryan's new tricks



Ryan is climbing on everything these days and is thoroughly proud of himself!

Abby and I found him on the table one morning before school. What a stinker!

Happy Birthday Baby!

Our sweet baby enjoyed pulling tissue paper and clothes out of bags and boxes and throwing them all on the floor.

My camera wasn't charged, so I only got two pictures out of it.

Top four reasons I haven't updated my blog recently.

4.Our little "Gonzo" keeps me on my feet!

3.Every time I turn around someone is pestering poor Ryan.
(This time, Abby used her greasy rice krispie hands to spike Ryan's hair. )

2.Even when he's innocent, he looks ornery. How am I supposed to know when it's safe to leave him alone?


1.This winter has meant almost constant Bronchitis, colds, and other misc. sickness in our house.



Christmas






We had a great Christmas! The kids were very grateful for what they got and seemed to understand what we were really celebrating.

Abby lost here first tooth about a month ago. She was so proud to have made it to this grown up stage of childhood. It seems like just yesterday the she was screaming and drooling to cut the same tooth.
