Now wait a minute...

I know, I know....I'm supposed to be on a break...

You thought I had left for good, right??

Aw, come on, don't look at me like that...

(hey, Uncle Kenni - doesn't this totally look like "Heeeeey, Jooooe!")

I'm a techie girl ~ every time something cool happened around here, I felt the need to share it with y'all!

When faced with this kind of cuteness, I simply *have* to share, ya know?!

Plus, I like to document all this stuff - yes, even the stubborn defiant moments (they are both supposed to be wearing SHOES for goodness' sake!) - so I can remember how awesome my life is!  Especially on the *really* hard days when I feel like giving up.

So I'm back.  Mostly.  I'm gonna try to focus more on blogging about our day to day life, and less random facebooking - which steals my time quicker than ANYTHING!!  How can I spend so much time reading about other people's lives, all the while quietly ignoring my own life?!  YUCK....

Hope everyone is doing FABULOUS and is having a terrific spring!  My garden is CRAZY ~ pictures to come very soon.  Until then, I'm off to live my life with those adorable kiddos up there.....it really is an awesome life!!
