Not much
So I seem to like the Subject: "Not much". Below is a hodge-podge of everyday info.
Matthew, Carrie and Little Matthew were here last week to visit and attend a wedding of one of Matthew's classmates. To say it was wonderful to have them here with us would be an understatement, but I cannot think of any more descriptive or appropriate words right now. It was really nice to have a baby in the house. LM was so quiet and smiled at everyone he met. The little angel even reached for me when they got here the first day. Of course, that made Aunt Paula's heart melt. Such big, beautiful eyes and curious about everything. What a doll! We really didn't "accomplish" much during the week, but truly enjoyed our time together. It would have been nice to have more down time just to hang out. Next time. We all agreed that it stinks that AZ and KS are so far apart but no one appears to want to budge on that issue at this point. :)
Kids are doing well. Ella is constantly arguing about everything. It's literally a case of her taking the exact opposite stance to us on everything. Still trying to figure out how to get past that. Any ideas? I'd appreciate any.
Rich has now been an "office man" for two full weeks. It's been stressful for him, but that was to be expected. He's a perectionist and hates not being able to jump right in and know what's what. But he's hanging in there.
I've had royal anger issues this week. I think it's stemming from too little sleep (and a funky cycle). Lazy... but I'm going to start taking a nap in the afternoon with the kids again. I'm just too sleepy otherwise. And when I'm sleepy I'm grouchy. Add in kids that argue about every little thing that's going on and ROAR! :)
Mowed the front yard this morning. Need to mow the back. But I'm riding mower stupid. So I probably won't, though I'd like to save Rich the trouble. Learned some really cool tricks about Photoshop last night while Carl and Nic were over and am really excited to practice with my nearly 5000 photos. (Way too many photos.)
Some unedited photos from June through last night. (I think you just have to click on "View show" see a few of the photos that I thought were worth sharing.)
