time marches on...

little sister....

A princess all on her own!  She didn't know what to do without her brothers here.  I don't know if I mentioned it, but the old trampoline had to go a few weeks ago (I think).  And, we finally replaced it.  We were very glad to see it go back up, because it entertains so effectively.

Thankful!!

I really need to figure out the new blogger features, but here are some pictures.  I may add a few more.  My two wonderful sister in laws took some great pics of us that I will steal from their facebooks as soon as they are posted.  

been a while, and yes, i should be studying....

fun, fun...

some pictures of the last few fridays...

so...

I am so glad that I decided to make a blog about our family. I suppose I could have just made a powerpoint, but when I take the time to look back a year at the pictures and videos and read what I said, it just amazes me. Time is flying by, well, changes are flying by. I was sitting here trying to remember what I did before school, now I see. Games, paintings (although we have done that recently), video games with Taylor, more science experiments, a lot of stuff that I need to find more time for if this is going to work. We have at least been playing the school game. I haven't started blogging about it on the other blog yet, mostly because I never dreamed I would go back to school with the babies so young, so I thought I would have time to make that blog a professional site, and I don't see the point in trying that right now. The game is really ready for me to at least write a draft of the book that would explain how to make your own, but I am not. I don't even know how to predict when I might be able to start. Maybe never. Taylor is learning and the game is super fun and I am saving my notes, so maybe when I am too old to study physics, or wherever I end up, I will write it. For now, the knowledge that I created it and it works is enough. I am also totally thrilled with a final addition. I was given a lesson planning book and it worked perfectly to record and plan our daily accomplishments. So, I spent two hours filling it in, instead of working on homework. So, I will load pics tomorrow and study spanish ahora mismo.

oh, wow..

so, anyone know what yesterday was? we totally missed it until today, just busy I guess. So, no letter this year. strange. but, that's how it went down. i suppose that is progress? anyway, Happy Birthday Baby Ethan! we love you!

halloween...

We really do love Halloween, and we went to two parties (the usual two) the Saturday before it. I totally skipped the trick or treating mission, because I had some laundry and cleaning to do and a bunch of homework to catch up on. I have to admit I managed to slack off (relatively, mostly due to other obligations) for about two weeks and I am paying for it. Trevor had some appointments, Taylor has been keeping me busy, and I had to participate in some social occasions (they always take so much out of me), but things are going to even out for a bit. I am dreading the holiday break because I am going to be so busy, but I am looking forward to new classes. I have pictures to load and others to scan, maybe a video, too. Hmmm, maybe tomorrow, maybe late tonight, we'll see.
