We have been so busy! The house is a mess and we're trying to get it straightened so we can have friends over for a grill out tomorrow. Of course, we also need to get it ready for my mother and my aunt who are coming to stay with us for a week. They arrive on Saturday. Poor Kurt has been doing most of the work while I tend to the children. I'm ( Read more... )

Matthew is walking around so much more now! Since about last Friday he's really started getting into his walking. He'll walk halfway across the room before falling.

Especially if single parents have pets that need to be cared for as well. I actually managed to get the cat boxes cleaned today, but nothing yesterday or Monday. By the ( Read more... )

Matthew's still suffering from the occasional colicky episode, poor baby. He had a real bad one today. I basically had to stay out of the sanctuary during church while I was trying to calm him. By the time I had calmed him and he'd finished his bottle, I'd missed at least half of the sermon. Fortunately, they record the sermons. :) Otherwise, ( Read more... )
