Popping In

I'm playing catch-up big time. I have numerous posts in my drafts folder that I just can't find the time to complete. Too much of life to sit at this silly computer trying to chronicle the events of that life.

As I go prepare for everyone to get to church this morning, I wanted to leave you with some images of my children's love for one another...

Welcome Home Betsy!

Taken yesterday ~ from the hospital and then upon arriving on our street!

What a homecoming!

The Wheels are Off

I want to learn how to put comments on a picture with arrows to the objects of note, but since I can only do it in word and not transfer it to my blog post you will have to use your imagination.

First, I will let you take a gander at the scene around the house as we were leaving for Birmingham last night. What do you see that you find disturbing?

Now for the objects that we have noted as comical ~ hey we've got to keep laughing or we are not going to enjoy the ride...

* doggie vomit ~ Norval was notorious practical jokes ~ vomit being one of the favorites ~ Frank walks by the hearth and says "that's some pretty good fake throw up" to which Steve replied "that's not fake"
* bag of Christmas trash that had no yet made it to the dump~
* house plans ~ Frank wanted to make sure we had the house plans, ruler, and paper at the hospital so we could work on drawing cabinet elevations
* random assortment of children's toys and discarded clothes

Really Anywhere...

How many times have I said that Stephen can fall asleep anywhere he gets still ~ Here's another picture of proof... Just in case you are wondering, I was in the dining room vacuuming Mary Frances' carseat so that I could get them all back into the car to head to the lake. First I heard screams of frustration that he couldn't undue the buckle followed quickly be snores.

The Simple Things

We arrived home from dinner Wednesday evening to find Mary Frances asleep like this...
I think she likes her new backpack! Kindergarten is going to be a wonderful adventure for all of us.
