The Year So Far

It's official. I'm a blogging failure. Work/grad school is crazier than I can even begin to explain. Add in a husband, three kids, and a houseful of animals and I just have to prioritize for now. Unfortunately, that means I haven't even been reading people's blogs in weeks.

Since I totally failed at posting Christmas pictures, and I'm too lazy to dig for the right memory card or to pull out the external hard drive where they're backed up, I'm going to share a random hodgepodge of the very end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013.





Her hair is getting long... When it's wet and straight it's down to her butt.

Marker on her nose, enjoying the snow!



Bwahahaha. A Christmas Story, anyone?




Trinity's Christmas thank-you pictures.

Jackson, the son of our friends Dave and Michelle. Isn't he adorable?!

Playing at the museum.

My baby is too big... :(

Michelle and Jackson.


Jackson was helping Dave to take Josh's money.


Dave adopted one of our rescued iguanas years ago. He spoils him rotten.



Seriously the dorkiest kid ever, but I love him.




I get this face a lot lately.


Princess dress + sandbox = happy kid.





Love when they play together!




We got a (used) bouncy castle from my friend Kathy. They love it. It's big enough for Josh and I to use!


We've been cleaning out and donating a bunch of stuff to the free store. It's not stopping the kids from chasing each other. The bags and boxes just make for a fun obstacle course!

He's getting way too big...








Yes, she went out in this. In February. In Kentucky. And she got lots of laughs and compliments from the wonderful citizens of Rabbit Hash.





On a horribly bittersweet final note, Trinity will be four this weekend. How the heck is that possible? I'm moping. That last picture is her recently, holding one of the preemie outfits she wore in her first weeks. Sniffle. Happy early birthday, my sweet girl.

It was such a nice treat to see a post in my Google reader from you. I can't believe how big the kids are getting. I think it's been nearly 2 years since I started following you and 2 years makes a huge difference in Tiffany and Gabe. I can't hardly believe how big Simon has gotten.
All three kids are just precious.

Loved seeing the pics. Take care!!!

Who would read blogs when there's this to do with their time?

Mine are teens now, but when they were little, I was down on the floor with them.

You are a wise mama--it is gone in a blink of the eye.
