Happy Family

Whenever I stop writing I find that the guilt I experience because I haven't been writing - keeps me from writing!

So the easiest thing for me is to just start with the present and not obsess about what I missed...

So here goes!

Life is crazy, busy and amazing these days. Maris is 9 months, Maddie is 7 and Wyatt is 5 and they are some fabulous kids. I don't know if it's because I'm so much more comfortable in my parenting or if it's just because Maris is an easy baby - but I am enjoying her so very much. She is so incredibly funny and silly - she keeps us entertained all day long!

We've had a busy summer - almost 3 weeks down in South Florida with my folks, followed by a week with Mike's mom at the Emerald Grande in Destin. We've spent the rest of the summer hiding in the house from all the thunder storms. 

That's it for tonight - I'm tired... But it's a start, right???

Beach day

Every day I watch in wonder as my children 

Sixth Pic Tag...

Courtesy of my friend Lindsey on Granola Chicks...

Here's how it works. Go into your photo folder (or for me I just pulled up iPhoto) and post the sixth picture.



This is a picture of me and Wyatt when he was 8 months old :) awwww!

Now once you're tagged you must of course tag others - how many is up to you - but I'll try to tag six people :)

and this picture must be posted in this one because this picture is what got the many silly faces photosessions started... it's of me and my best friend Becca...
