I may be learning!

This morning was heaven! I got up, got on my gym clothes, got Michael up, dressed, and off to school, got the little ones dressed and took them to my friends house!!! Then I went to the gym by myself and WalMart by myself and didn't even lose any precious time with my husband. Usually, when I go to the store by myself it is because he is watching them. For some reason, it has taken me nearly 7 years to realize how important good friends are, especially when you are a mother of young children. By the way, I'll be taking her kids on Friday, and we will be doing this for the unforeseeable future. We're each going to have a kid-free morning each week. It will be FABULOUS!

So maybe I can keep my sanity through these next several years. And I am sure my friends and I will adapt to our changing situations, because we'll need friends after our children are not so young, right?

More old and random pictures

Here are some random photos taken when we went to CA for a visit and a couple afterwards. Totally random but cute nonetheless.

Photo #1: Playing scum at Grandma's, aka the game with a new rule every five minutes.

Photo #2: Seth and Sadie doing their favorite thing. Nope not bathing, that would be too predictable. They LOVE to toss the water out of the tub.

Photo #3: Michael doing his favorite thing... playing on the computer.

Photo #4: Me and the kids outside a friends house after swimming. Mmm... I love my look, don't you?

Photo #5: Seth helping Sadie over the treacherous weeds to the garden or trampoline, whatever the case may be. See them holding hands... aww, how cute!!

Friendship

Ahh, a moment of peace in at Grandma's house. Taylor and Sadie just have this natural camaraderie. I don't know why, especially considering the age difference, but they just love each other.

Yeah, OK. The picture was taken about 2 months ago, but I am making an effort here, people. Watch for more to come.
