*Sigh*....

Well...if it isn't completely obvious from my lack of communication, I haven't been in the blogging mood.....this pregnancy has been heading to the bed at naptimes and fairly soon after the kids are in bed for the night....and also frustrated with long bouts of nausea....It's worth it for sure, but I'm ready to be over with this phase of the pregnancy!
I also did a super long update for you, and for some reason it didn't post...so I was bitter. =)
We've had a busy summer.....harvesting apples from the tree, hosting visitors =0), weeding the garden, going for walks, and trying to keep up with the little darlings of ours.

Here's some of our visitors this summer...

Auntie Squisha, Uncle Jason, and Tyson....who was born a day after Grace. He's got her beat in the body mass department!

My brother Paul....the Las Vegas showman....spent the day with us in Bellingham.

My parents took us all to Anthony's for a special birthday dinner for Paul....just the grownups!

Daddy's been on a few fun fishing trips....

Josiah's  had a few fun rides this  summer....including some tractors, an asphalt paver, a fire engine, Daddy's truck, and a riding lawn mover.

And, of course, little miss "I've got something in my mouth".....probably something she gleaned from the garden....rocks, rotten apples, dirt, green/red boysenberries....she's had fun tagging along everywhere....anywhere where her brother is. She calls him "iah" and follows him like a shadow....squeals of terror or delight are sure to be heard from every corner of the house. Sometimes from her mother too...as she discovers Grace's latest "get-in-ta". =)
