Despite everything else going on in our lives right now, we are working fervently to make the Christmas season magical and special for Ali. And so far, she absolutely adores it. So much so that were it not for her birthday two weeks after Christmas, I would worry that she would go into a Post […]
And You Wonder Why I Don’t Have More. . .
I went to lunch with Jennifer and her three kids today. We had a great time, and Ali looooved getting to see “Amy Beff”, until I was holding her, then she didn’t like it so much (she kept saying “Amy Beff Scare you”, but what she meant was “I’m really jealous of Amy Beth”). I […]
Thanksgiving Week Festivities
We have had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend – it all started with having the pleasure of hosting Kitty and Leo (Chris’ Aunt and Uncle) overnight at our house. Ali was in heaven:Then we had Thanksgiving dinner at our house for mine and Chris’ family. Ali moved up to seventh heaven!! She LOVES having all of […]
Pre-Thanksgiving Haze
Well, I figure that everyone has left blog-world and is headed for Thanksgiving world, so that means that I can write a completely randomly generated post, right? Good. Because I (finally) got Ali’s cold, and my mind is only working on the random setting. I started to feel like I was getting sick on Saturday, […]
Twins for the Day
Well, our second sleepover was a success!! Or at least, they are both sound asleep. I better be safe and say that so far it is a success. But I am T-I-R-E-D!! So I’m going to minimally blog and maximally post pictures. AJ was mesmerized by one of Ali’s toys that plays five different songs. […]
A Few Stories from the Weekend.
Thursday night was the first night where we had ALL twelve of our kids there at once. We now have even odds: 12 kids, 12 adults. It was quite crazy! AND number 13 is on the way next year! (No, not me. AJ is going to be a big sister!) Kendall hanging out with her […]
A Day With No Camera
As soon as I pulled out of the driveway this morning, I remembered that my camera was sitting on my desk, and not in my purse, where it must stay so that I may be prepared for any blog-op that comes my way. You ask, how much can you miss by not having a camera […]
"Camping" the Easy Way.
If you haven’t entered yet, be sure to visit my Reader Appreciation Giveaway!!! I know, I know. . . It’s been over 48 hours since my last post. What’s that noise? Gasps and Shrieks? Don’t worry – we’re fine! No sleepwalking injuries or (no-longer-in-existence) gallbladder attacks. We were at an annual camping trip – one […]
My Favorite Photographs of the Week
Obviously, I’m obsessed with taking pictures. And blogging. So It’s only fair that I get to do a recap in photographs each week. So without further ado. . . These first two pictures are from our small group on Thursday night.This is what I would look like with quadruplets:Overwhelming when I consider it, and then […]
CHFND Part 2
If you didn’t read my post last night, you will want to read it first, as this is a sequel. So the rest of my crazy day went like this:2:50pm – Mother-in-Law shows up to keep Ali while I go get a haircut (about 6 months overdue and desperately needed. Starting to look a bit […]
