Playing Catch Up

How in the world do you catch up with blogging after almost a month away?? Well... I'm hoping that this week there will be time to summarize with photos and with words. We've been busy, busy, busy keeping up with school, enjoying family visits, working on projects, loving on my mom after her surgery, and somehow trying to get more then 6 hours of sleep each night. Blogging has been a luxury that there simply isn't enough time to squeeze in. But, boy do I miss it!! 

Many kind thanks to some blog readers who checked in on me. We're doing great! God is opening my eyes to new things and I'm so thankful. I'm looking forward to filling you in on all the happenings around here... maybe even the good, bad and ugly. Wouldn't want you to get an inaccurate picture of a June Cleaver life around here! ;) Somehow, God smoothes out all the rough spots, doesn't He? Isn't that encouraging? phew! 

So, until the next time... this is what life is like around here. 

We are definitely aggressive,  

 and every day is an opportunity to climb and take risks. 

 I often try to hide in my shell to escape it all, 

 ...especially all the mudslinging. Do you realize how dirty boys can get?? 

Bath time is necessary every day this time of year. 

While it may seem that our house is much like a zoo, I wouldn't want to live any other place. 

I love my three little monkeys! ;)
