update

Benjamin was going through a box of old stuff a few weeks ago and he found an old journal of mine. After reading through some of it, laughing, and cringing, I've started writing in it again. I've been pretty casual about it. Sometimes I write multiple times, sometimes I miss altogether but I keep in on the counter and write as I feel the need to purge my thoughts.I've discovered that because of that I haven't blogged much. Usually the blog was the place for the brain dumping and cute picture posting....now I suppose it'll be mostly the latter.

Friday is our anniversary. For those of you counting, its been 5 years. We still laugh and still like each other a lot....what more can you ask for?

Its French Open time....anyone else watching?

Natalie is a climber. This last weekend she started with her kitchen. The first few times she climbed up I resisted getting her down, hoping that if she kept getting stuck, she would stop. Well at about the third time she decided she would just learn how to get down herself. It was funny to watch her feel her way down with her feet, looking for a place to put her weight. A cute little wall-climber in the making.

Natalie likes noodles (sometimes).

still hormonal

I watched this and cried....and cried. I am so blessed and need to live my life more gratefully. I'll also add that I know the things said in this message are true....I have no doubts.

brain dump

I was glaringly reminded today that I have yet to find "my thing". This seems to be a running theme with this blog....I must bring it up once every few months. Perhaps my thing is having daughters that only look like my husband. I do that pretty well, and doing it twice might qualify right?

I was introduced to the greatness that is this blog today. Thank you Janssen for FORCING me to waste precious nap time reading :) . "That wife" uses a beautiful term called "brain dump". I like that term, and almost daily feel like I have got to stop having the same 3 thoughts running through my head over and over and over again. I suppose that's what this is, since this post was started when I walked in the door tonight, handed Benjamin the baby immediately, and said "take her, I have a couple blog thoughts I have to get out before I forget them". And here I am....rambling.

Oh yeah....I do these....they're cute. I would GLADLY do one (or any kind of cross-stitch, as that IS as crafty as I get) for anyone that would like something. All you have to do is give me the pattern...and maybe ask nicely.

i have a need to gloat

I need to document that at 3.5 weeks old, Samantha has slept through the night twice. 1130-7......two days in a row. I am in heaven. I'll gladly take the kicks and punches from other, more tired mothers, along with all this glorious sleep. Even I can admit that this is ridiculous!

I'm 2!

We celebrated Natalie's 2nd birthday this last saturday. I can't believe she's 2. She is loud, cute, and very sweet to her baby sister. We love her and she is definitely our favorite first daughter.
