I'm eating popcorn right now and it's... good

Yikes!

It's been a long time since I blogged. Life has been hectic and surprise surprise I haven't been online much in the last week or so. And the time I have been online I've been editing photos for the many different people I've done sessions for in the last few weeks..

We bought fireworks today. Abby thought they were candy and tried feverishly to stuff as many into the cart as she could as fast as she could without us noticing. K&K were well loved too and I was pleasantly surprised that my stroller could navigate the aisles as well as it did. We decided to go earlier in the hopes that it wouldn't be crazy busy. There were plenty of people but it wasn't too bad.

Onto exciting news. The occupational therapist is so thrilled with Abby's progress she is bumping us down to every two weeks and we are going to start phasing her out of going to therapy at all! We can still call if we need advice or come in if there are issues but Abby has made remarkable progress and we are so thrilled. It will make life around here much easier too without so many appointments to go to all the time. I can use the break! 

Kiley and Kara are both standing up while holding onto things. They love to clammer all over me and they even cling to Abby (sometimes she isn't too thrilled about that) Kiley crawls all over on her hands and knees and is remarkably fast. They follow me around the house now and sometimes it's hard to get things done because they love to be holding onto me. With one baby you can pick them up. With two they almost have you cornered! 

We had to cancel Kiley's feeding appointment yesterday because Abby was running a temp of 102 and she was so miserable and sick. Turned out to be a good thing because I ended up feeling worse and worse as the day went on and Kara came down with it too. It was a good day to stay home and rest! We certainly needed it after all of the running around we've done lately.

Yesterday we went down to my parent's place to celebrate Grandma Renae's birthday. It was a fun little family gathering and I made an ice cream bar cake (yum). I'm glad it turned out because they were all angry and clinging to me while I finished it. And I wonder sometimes why I don't cook more? 

What we've been up to when I wasn't posting...
(At a waterpark we went to to celebrate Tom's birthday... it was short but a lot of fun!)

Everyone is a genius. but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it is stupid...

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
