Again, crazy time in life!! I feel like I run from one thing to the next, and in the middle of it all I stand in the kitchen “at the ready” to make breakfast, lunch and dinner and all the snacks in between. If I am not wiping a nose, I am wiping a butt, if I am not doing laundry I am putting laundry away, and I always feel like we are out of milk. I am afraid that if I buy too much milk it will go sour, so I never have enough and end up making a 10:30 run to Smiths Saturday night for milk. Steve has tried to pull a fast one and make up some “Powdered Milk”, and I admire him for his ingenuity, but the kids are smarter than that, so then the powdered milk sits in our fridge for another week until I finally throw it out!!
In all the craziness of life, we have done some really fun stuff, we just got back from Newport were we always have a great time. Steve and I also got to go on a little weekend getaway which we have never done (not including trek) and we went snowshoeing with some really good friends and are going to make it a monthly event, if not more often!! I finished reading a number of great books (please join me on Good Reads) and for the most part the kids seem happy and most of the time think that we are pretty awesome parents (until we ask them to do something they don’t want to do), which I think is pretty typical for a kid. Sam told me that I was pretty the other day, which completely made my day, and then Bailey told me that I needed to go on the “Biggest Loser” which slightly brought my spirits down a bit. (Since I am not 400 lbs). So, on my emotional daily roller coaster it is nice to have good friends, good family, good books, DVR, and a grocery store that stays open late.

Welcome back. . . even if it is to craziness we are glad to have you home. Lets get together for games sometime soon.
I love the things kids say. They usually leave me laughing, but occasionally they can be a bit too honest as well. You definitely are NOT biggest loser material.
Can I just say how amazing you are! You have the most beautiful family. You guys are always so put together--I just adore the girls' hair when you've curled it! You always have activities going on and places to be but you are always with your family! On top of all that you find time to make a sick friend the most delicious homemade meal including DESSERT! How did I get so lucky to know you??? And can you please rub some of your amazingness off on me?
Thank you Thank you Thank you for being such a great friend! I can't tell you how good that yummy soup felt going down my throat and the kids devoured it! What a relief it was to not have to worry about dinner for a night! Thank you Kathi! You are the best!
I love to read what is going on in your life....it gives me a nice break from mine!
