Dear Blog,
     Its been 8 months since we have spoken. I am so ashamed. What will the children say? I better catch you up. 

So in October we had a baby girl turn 5 months old. Is she a cutie or what?! Of course now she is 12 months so she got even cuter....

 We had friends over in late August everyday! We did bubbles and other fun stuff.

This one time Samson got ahold of a marker and turned it into makeup... thank you Lord for washable markers.

 I don't know if I mentioned we got a cat. At first his name was Jafar, now its Lukey. We saved him, he was a little feral kitten. We aren't even really cat people. But he is cool, low maintenance except for the whole leukemia positive thing. He only likes me and Shirley. Which is good because she follows his fluffy tail everywhere and then pulls on it.

 Casey taught Samson how to play magic cards! Okay not really, its a really hard game. They just pulled out the strongest looking Dragons and "fought" them. Just another day in my nerd kingdom.

 We made bread a lot. And when I say made bread I mean put all the stuff in the bread machine and walk away.

 Every once in a while I get a photo with me and whatever kid jumps in.

 Ten dollar keyboard from thrift store. Worth. every. penny. Feel like we got hours of fun out of this. My house is really messy in that photo and I could lie and say it doesn't look like that but I won't. I'll say this, my house never looks like that; when I take photos.

 I took Shirley to work with me a few times. There we are campaigning to save higher education. On the right is a throwback of Samson and I doing the same thing a  few years ago. Same ergo different kid. Long live the ergo! ;)

I cleaned my fridge and it totally still looks like that.... not.

 This is Samson waiting on his Poppi. He is going over to play. Sweet blessings! We are so thankful to live a mile away.

Well that is it. Next post will be Halloween, Thanksgiving and if I am really motivated Christmas. This catching up thing is hard.
