Been a long time...

Well, it's been a really long time since I have written anything for this blog. A lot has happened since my last post! We had another baby! "Merida" was born March 23rd, 2012. She has red hair like her older sister and she is a handful! Since then everything has gone CrAzY! Mini is in preschool now and the older two are in school full day! Yeah for me! But it makes for lots of running around:) and homework and activities and really the girls aren't even doing anything yet. What have we done since Merida was born? Well, my dad retired, Thomas played baseball over the summer. we went on vacation and spent a lot of time at home over the summer. Unfortunately this mama was so tired from baby that I didn't have much steam...boo me. Thomas loves anything Star Wars now...Thomas the train has gone by the wayside :(. He also loves football! Red is really into her friends and has the greatest imagination I have ever witnessed! She could down with two salt and peppers shakers and be able to have a party! Mini is a sassy little gal. She's going to give me a run for my money someday! And Merida...well she is high maintenance. I feel bad talking about my babe like that, but it's true. I can count on one hand the people she is totally comfortable with and it doesn't include grandmas...yet. She needs her sleep and she needs things to be done a certain way...her way! She is very attached to her mama...weaning her is going to be very difficult. I can tell you now because she will barely take a bottle at the sitter's and she will barely eat baby food...at 8 1/2 months! But i love her and her smile makes my heart melt. Just like with all my other kids. One other thing that happened...I bought an IPad with some Bday money...hence it's a lot easier for me to post now! That dinosaur of a computer sits in the office and roars at me, but I sure don't use it much. Hopefully from now on, I'll be able to post more often...the good, the bad and the ugly. Ha ha just kidding.
