Uh-Oh

Oh dear. Evidently I'm not the only person who exploded coffee lately. Every once in a great while I look at the stats for the blog. I was looking at the referring searches--it's fun to see what people (in the most general sense--it doesn't tell me any details about individuals) are reading. People have checked in to look at Cat in the Hat hat cakes lately and turkey crafts. One individual typed in "microwave stopped working after coffee exploded in it." If you've stopped back by, I hope your microwave is working now!!

Keeping Busy

Still playing the waiting game on the house, so I thought I'd change out the header... Something to keep me busy other than mentally arranging the furniture in a house that may not even be ours.

As I was setting it up I came across my old ones.


Look at those itty bitty girls. Of course the little boy is absent for obvious reasons! I love that picture of Kate with that tiny mop of curls and such a genuine smile.


Then there is this one with the tiny fellow.

New Header

As a part of Gitz's You: Create this week I made a new blog header. The kiddos are growing (at an alarming rate) so I thought it was time to put up new pictures of them.

Here's my origional header--Gabby was smaller than Nate is now in some of these pictures!


Bye-bye old header:

Look at that little-bitty guy.


Hello new one:


I know you can't see Gabby's face, but between the fact that this picture is so representative of her personality and the fact that she doesn't like to have her picture taken these days,


(She's either blurry--trying to get away--)


(Or refuses to look at me)

I decided to go with it.

Kate has been hamming it up lately, so it was hard to choose for her:




And the baby is always precious:


Sometimes he even gets to wear clothes


Like when hasn't pooped through them.

In news related to that--my laundry hamper stayed empty for about an hour yesterday before he decided it was time for a change.

Happy Thursday!

I Won!

Yay! I entered a blog drawing at Tales of a Peanut last week after making my way there from Kelly's Korner and I won three books Miss Match, Cool Beans, and Off the Record. Jennifer has more give aways this month in celebration of her daughter's birthday. Maybe you can win too.

Thanks Jennifer!

Slide show

I finally updated the slide show (on the right sidebar) to include Nate. I needed a little while to get a variety of pictures. I can't get over how much he's grown already. I'm guessing we're already about double his birth weight! There are newer pictures of the girls as well. Enjoy...or ignore. :)

Lookie!

Gabby and I stayed home from church today because she was grumpy and running a low grade fever--probably just a side effect from her MMR shot, since they told us we might see a fever a week later. While she was napping I played around an updated my blog settings!
