ARGHHHH

Let's see, why have I been gone so long AGAIN?!

1) School started and we have a total of 51 kids

 I'm going to say....think of spending all day, every day with a five year old.

Now multiply that by 51 and teach them all to read, write and do math. Yeah.

51 of anything is a LOT. Especially when they are all live and wiggly.

 2) We were in SC for a WHOLE WEEK, meeting baby Vera.

Some of the people I love best in the world. Sort of left to right, if you don't count Rach's right foot and Travis' right arm.: Pop Pop, Travis, Vera (in papoose sling on Travis), Rachel, Avery, Zoey, Trevor. Not in pic: Sarah (taking pic), me (hiding from camera)

We got to see all our grands together...OMG, it was so much fun, even though poor Zoey broke her leg!!

This is her splint, because they would not cast her leg for a few days. It was stressful, because she was not supposed to stand on it. Tell THAT to a 2-year-old.

The day before the broken leg. I held  babyVera, aka "The Caterpillar", so much that my arms felt empty when we left. Very sad for me.

3) Speaking of breaking things: our dishwasher, our washer, our truck, our AC. EXPENSIVE and not a blast to replace and/or repair. Sorry, no fun pictures of money flying out the window.

4) Still working on my new WEBSITE! The web designer's husband BROKE HIS BACK, so we are on hold. (Geez, I hope she didn't "catch" the breaks from me!!) You'll see the site soon enough. It is going to be AWESOME, lotsa wonderful tutorials, that don't require an embroidery machine!

I will try to do better about posting. But honestly, I don't like to promise things I'm not sure I can deliver! Subscribe to my blog and you'll get updates, which might be better than checking back constantly. Google Reader is GREAT, BTW. Thanks to my friend Linda for that tip.

Thanks for stopping by! Off to a funeral service. Arghhhh
