Bye-bye blog?...

I've been a bad blogger lately. My posts are sporadic and I don't put much thought into my words. I can't imagine they're all that entertaining to read either. One of the biggest reasons for my blog inattentiveness is Miss Claudia's lack of napping. Generally my only computer time during the day is when the girls are nestled in their beds. And they haven't been doing much nestling, or the nestling has been short. In fact, I'm quickly typing this between return trips upstairs to toss her back into bed. So I guess what I'm saying is if CJ's naptime continues to be nonexistent then my computer time will become nonexistent and therefore so will my blog. Sigh.

Well I best get back up there to make more fruitless attempts at putting CJ to sleep. At least I'm getting in an extra, unplanned workout. I chase her (jogging), I swoop her into my arms and carry her back to bed (weight lifting) and then we start the whole thing over again (reps). An hour or so of this a day and I'm sure to look like Cindy Crawford in no time. I may rename 'naptime' 'exercise time.' They're just about as exhausting.

I'll leave you now with a picture of my two wild monkeys actually sitting still. Seriously, this is one of those moments I knew I must snap a photo because it doesn't happen all that often. So here it is. Soak it up because you don't see this very often.

I would miss the daily Craft update! I look for it every day. However, I know how utterly impossible it is some days. Lincoln's naps have been getting shorter. I'm not looking forward to the "staying in bed" battle once he moves out of his crib. :op

Your blog doesn't have to be everyday. Once or twice a week is good.

Oh, I don't want to quit the blog. I'm just having troubles finding time to put it together. I am definitely going to keep it up however my posts may be a little infrequent.

October things...

Image
It has not been the easiest October on record. Kate had a couple of hospital visits to Rochester but she is somewhat better at the moment. She continues with chemotherapy and has not been back to school for quite some time but she is doing her best to set aside time for online school work between naps, loving on cats, and hanging out with her family. I was able to get the girls to visit their great grandma in western Iowa a few weeks back. Here's Claudia shortly after arriving at great grandma's house. She is very into jewelry and lots of it. Grandma had several questions for her about the number of bracelets and thankfully Claudia loves talking about them. Many she has made, some were gifted to her...it's a lovely hodgepodge of middle school girl goodies. Clearly the girls and I were blessed with height genes from relatives not named great grandma. We spent time relaxing, taking four wheeler rides, eating candy and we also received a visit from my aunt and uncle. Aunt Deb ...

March Madness 2024...

Let's talk brackets. I love a good competition. I love to win. But when I don't win I can typically move on quite quickly from a loss (unless we are specifically talking about Big Six Swim Offs, but I digress.) We have a family group on ESPN for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and it's "high stakes" with no entry fee, a chocolate rabbit for the winner and most importantly bragging rights. While I've never won, nor have I ever been close to winning, I thought I'd share my rationale for my picks through the first round of play. You should not follow this advice but if you so choose to, don't blame me when you too lose out to a cat with it's own bracket. East Region UConn 1 v Stetson 16: This is a silly way to start because it's a 16 v a 1 seed and clearly we know the very likely outcome of this game. But if I could, I'd choose Stetson cologne over a Huskie dog because Huskies kind of scare me a little. Regardless I am going with the ...

The dark day of June 27th...

 June 12, 2023 We typically don't share a lot of updates about Kate's health, primarily because she wants to remain "a normal teenager." However, we still get asked how Kate is doing and I started thinking maybe it's okay to share updates now and again. Most people care about her and our family, some others could maybe be labeled as "tragedy junkies," but I'm going to operate under the assumption that most people have the best of intentions.  Today is June 12th and we are quickly approaching the dreaded dark day of June 27th. Have you watched, "Gilmore Girls?" It's a witty, comforting television show from the early 2000's. In it one of the main characters has what is dubbed, "a dark day." This is a day the character dreads each year and in response he goes into hiding from the world with no communication. Well for Kate, and the rest of us to some degree, the dark day of the year is June 27th and that date is closing in on ...
