If they just listened to everything I said.......

Right after we bought our fancy schmancy camera, I threatened everyone with pain and torture if they touched it, pressed a button on it, picked it up or heaven forbid, took pictures with it!

But if they listened to everything I said, then I wouldn't get pictures like this:





Or this:



Or be still my heart, this:



On a sort of related note, Jeff's younger sister had her first baby on Saturday. A beautiful, pink, round little baby boy that I got to hold for close to an hour.

Then I spent the next half an hour after we left the hospital trying to talk Jeff into two more babies.

He wasn't convinced.

"Just two more?"

"No."

"How about one."

"No."

"How about a boy and a girl. Twins!"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

This coming from the guy, who on Saturday morning cleaned out the garage, and practically did backflips as we loaded baby stuff into the car to take to Goodwill. While I moped and attempted a tear or two for sympathy.

That's right. Cuz who could stand having anymore of this:


Or this:




Or this:



Or this:



It's called emotional blackmail. And I'm preeety sure it doesn't work on Jeff and at all.

And this is why~


Jeff has a really good memory.
But you can't blame a girl for trying, right?

  2. Amy, the girls and I just spent a week going to museums and fancy stores. At one museum there were a few younger kids. The moms were chasing them and saying, "Don't touch that. Stay near me. Do you have to go potty?" At 11 and 9, Maeve and Hilde are free to wander and I am free to worry much less. All of us enjoy it more. I can't say I miss toddler hood at all. I just borrow babies when I need them. :)

  4. I think it's just difficult to move on after so long of pregnancy and babies. I've always loved it, even when it's been crazy around here. So knowing that the time has come at last to just watch them grow up, instead of keep having them, has made me feel "Too soon, too fast, it all is going by too fast."

    But I do enjoy the big kids, and having them get themselves ready in the morning. I just can't help but mourn the passing of time.

  5. on a side note, I am jumping for joy to notice in the background there are toys and wipes and such on the floor!!! I have always wondered how you managed to keep a perfect house on top of everything else that you do :)
