I don't know if anyone is still checking this blog, but i think my blog break is done and I've got some stories to tell.
Some highlights of the past month have included:
A trip to Whistler. Here's Soph & The Davies girls there:
I love how Hillary and Jon are smiling at Soph smiling at Tessa who is smiling for the camera...and I think Rebecca is thinking about the time she danced with the fairies.
Audrey came to visit and (of course) got Soph the cutest dress. Soph also happened to name her new toy puppy "Ralph", So here is Soph and Ralph and Audrey's dress after bathtime:
Nice smile, eh? Apparently not so much, as we took her to the dentist and the dentist asked if she sucked her thumb. No. Never. Yeah, so that wicked overbite that you can't really see yet? You know it's bad when on your kids first dental visit the dentist says "Make friends with an orthodontist." Yikes.
Also, last month, Steener, Audge, Jamie, Ange and Leigh were all at my house at the same time. See?:
I wish you were there too.
We went to Alberta and while we were there Wade cooked a meal for his brother's 40th birthday. This is the prep sheet he made of all the things he was cooking and all the ingredients.
It is only due to breast feeding and genetics I don't weigh 400 lbs.
I also found this bandaid in a random old bandaid collection we inherited. What ARE THESE THINGS ON THE BANDAID CALLED? MY sister Liz had one, I'm sure. Are they Popples? Who knows?
And Eleanor is six months old now. Here she is on her half-birthday.
She really is this happy almost all the time. Except when she is not and then she SCREAMS. In a weirdly connected moment between the last two thoughts, my crazy mom sentence last month was "Don't stick bandaids on Eleanor's face."
We also taught at Mission Adventures twice and when we finished people affirmed us by telling us we were all the things that we have been aiming to be for years. It was such a satisfying moment that it made me realize the days when I am a raving lunatic screaming at my kids are service unto the Lord.
I officially still have a great life.
Later skater.
