yooo-hooo…anybody home?

i can finally come out to play! 🙂

ok, so i’m obviously late for the party. and there really is a good reason why too.
let me ‘splain.
no, there is too much. let me sum up.
2 birthdays. both sets of grandparents in town. spring break. double ear infection (lincoln). sinus infection & ear infection (me). and buttercup is marry humperdink in little less than half an hour.

well, you get the idea.

it was actually kind of nice to let the ‘ole computer gather some dust this month. i highly recommend it if you ever find yourself being sucked into a vortex of unconscious clicking until you don’t know where you are, how you got there or how to get back. my advice…just drop the mouse and walk away. drop the mouse and walk away. 😉

it has been a jam-packed month. here’s the play-by-play.

ella’s birthday was a huge difference from last year. we are welcoming 3 with much gladness and bidding 2 a fond farewell. just watching her expressions full of girlish excitement was all we needed.

and the easter egg hunt was mostly successful. ella only wanted pink eggs. go figure.

i tried really really hard to finally get a family picture but only so much cooperation can happen at these ages!

and that about wraps it up for this month of march. except for the sickness but i’ll spare you the details of that.

oh and of course i didn’t forget…i promised a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for y’all. i’ve got that up my sleeve and i’ll post it later today.

whew. good to be back! 🙂

    I know its weird hearing that from someone you don’t know, but ask Tara-I’m okay. I am only weird because I stalk your blog waiting for updates. that’s all. I am really pretty normal. as normal as a mom of 7 can be.

    Andi is one of my bestest friends in the whole world. We went through Jr. High, High School, and beyond together. She married a guy I grew up with (lived across the street from me my whole life) and they have 7 cute kids. She’s a great person. I guess I can vouch for her! LOL!!!
