it's been a while...

4 almost 5 days without blogging...
I've missed you all!

It's been packing packing crazy around here...
that and a FULL 2 day homeschool conference.
errands.
park play dates.
visiting with family, friends & even a fellow blogger.
and trying to eat everything out of the house! {grin}

My camera is FULL of pictures...
although not many of them are from the past few days.

We took these pictures last week...
in an attempt to catch the perfect 10 month pictures of the girls.

as you can see...

Nolia discovered how fun it is to stick her tongue out.

Fun... yes! The picture I was hoping for... no!
but that's okay. {grin}

and Eliza was fascinated by her wild brothers.
Nolia has learned how to wave and it is positively adorable!
and now Nolia is fascinated by her wild brothers


and then they just decided to eat grass and sticks.
they really enjoy eating nature... a LOT

okay... I feel better now that I have blogged. I was feeling withdraw... and I know you were too! Ha!

Now it's back to doing everything under the sun in preparation for our big.long.fun.exciting trip.

For those who emailed about meeting us along the way... I have not forgotten you. You will be receiving an email from me shortly!

Hopefully it will be before FOUR in the morning... which is how late-early I stayed up last night. It is just SO peaceful in the middle of the night! {grin}

  7. Drive so safely!

    I'll be thinking about you!

    Packing x 8 must be a daunting task.

    We're living out of backpacks for awhile...but that's only packing x 2!

    Busy days ahead for your family.

  9. A friend of mine (IRL) was saying that she admires you because you seem to manage your house hold so well..."SIX KIDS, HOW DOES SHE DO THAT" she just kept saying.

  10. So cute......love that first one, which shows a lot of possible personality! It will be fun for you to compare that shot with them in about 10 years!
    Have a fun and safe trip....we're flying to WI tomorrow....so we'll be there, if that's on your way......Particularly if you happen to be driving on I90/94 from Chicago through WI towards Madison............

  11. I have to say that I think you DID capture the perfect 10 mo. shot. It's the last one of them eating grass and sticks. etc. That is just too much. LOL
