Scarce.

Yeah, I know. I have the same reason as so many friends.

Baby #4 is due in April!

Stay tuned for my Christmas Mini-Shoot Announcement tonight!

Finally! A picture post!

With Abbie in school all day, it provides for a lot of nice, quiet "down-time" with my younger two. I find that I don't mind playing "When Dinosaurs Attack" for about 10 minutes at a time, and I can even tolerate more than that with something constructive, like Legos or blocks.

Good thing, too. They're Miles's favorite.
And he's definitely your typical BOY.
He is shooting me with his LEGO gun. Great. He also appreciates the value of a good Lego sword.

And lest you think that I'm not playing with Anna, she's there too. She's just not all that into shooting others with large plastic blocks.
But holy smokes, look at those eyes! And really, she's just so darn pretty.
And finally, Miles has been doing speech therapy with his lovely therapist for one hour each Monday afternoon right smack dab in the middle of naptime. You can imagine how well this is going. You really have to get to know Miles before he will open up to you. For example: he doesn't say words for my best friend. Only for me, his sisters and occasionally his dad will he let loose the flood gates and make us aware that he now says something like 20 words. So, when she comes, Miles doesn't say A SINGLE WORD for her. I think she's getting frustrated. I know I am. But now I have proof.
But really, I'm considering recording him. Stubborn little kid!

Gah! Tagged.

I was so excited because the "8 Random Things About Me" Meme was passing through bloglandia and I had somehow dodged the bullet. Thanks alot Joanna and Ginger!

1. I do not enjoy cooking. Like seriously, probably my least favorite thing ever. Even more than cleaning. However, if I were to get a maid or cook... I'd get a maid. I think.

2. My birthday is next week... woot! I'll be 28. OLD. Ok, not really OLD persay, but OLD ENOUGH.

3. I'm a book cheater. If I'm reading a book and can't stand the suspense, I'll flip forward to find out what happens. EVERY TIME. I guess, going along with that, I am a terrible secret keeper and will go to extensive lengths to find out what my birthday and Christmas presents are beforehand. I think Matt has surprised me ONE time in our 7 years of marriage. It was a Valentine's Day gift.

4. I have only take 3 pictures since I returned from Utah. I'm just feeling creatively stifled.

5. I leave in 2.5 hours to pick Matt up from the airport. He's been out of town for the last 4ish days in Austin, TX attending a conference. I miss him desperately.

6. We are in the market for a new cell phone/provider. We're currently with TMobile, but aren't opposed to changing. We're considering either staying with TMobile and just re-upping our plan or moving to Cingular/AT&T. Anyone ever sign up online? We want the great web deals you get on the phones...

7. My favorite movie of all time is French Kiss. My second favorite: Return to Me. Obviously, I enjoy a certain girly genre.

8. I'm saving for a new camera. Hello, Nikon D3!

I'm not gonna tag anyone, because I think it's mostly made the rounds.

Are you so excited??

Christmas special coming soon!

I'm still here.

I promise! I'm still trying desperately to get caught up from my unexpected trip.

Abbie started Kindergarten! Yay! (No sadness here!)

Anna's driving me crazy with her constant requests to go to ______ (the park, the movies, the gym, grandma's house, McDonalds). And the only place I want her to go is to sleep!

Miles talks! Ask my sister, Rachel! He said, "shoe, cheese, more, two, hi, bye, and ball" to her on the phone tonight. He also said, "Abbie" today for the first time. You can imagine the giddyness that ensued.

I'm up to my eyeballs in laundry and dishes... anyone wanna come help? What? No takers?!
