Hello!

I am returning from the dead :)
Sort of. On my list of daily jobs (which is an ideal which is NEVER perfect- but at least I have a goal) I include cleaning off my desk. Well, I also need to include updating and checking blogs. Sigh. This picture depicts one of my kids' favorite pastimes during the holiday season- sneaking up on grandma's candy counter and raiding. One good reason the holidays are over ;)




This picture depicts a positive and wonderfully deceptive photo experience. Adam's sister captured every smile on camera- they were amazing, but it sure doesn't give a very accurate depiction to how frustrating 3 year olds are while trying to take a family photo. Marci said- wow, you're kids were so good! after looking at all the darling pictures. I laughed. Really we were all at our wits end. But, Lissa is amazing and we have a new wall full of cute photos.

Adorable family picture Catherine! We can't take a decent family picture to save our lives. Three is a tough age. I'm right there with ya.

Hi Catherine!! I love your family picture!! What have you been up do besides chasing 3 year olds? Are you doing preschool again??

I love your family picture. It is so cute. I have taken pictures of kids that age. I know how hard it can be. Their smiles are great.

Thanks guys! I am doing preschool- but a much more mellow version. It is just my kids and a nephew for two hours twice a week. When my kids or I are sick I call her and say, "sorry, today won't work." That is nice. Also, my sister in law won't care if my kitchen is a mess while I teach where paying customers expect perfect professionalism. She also trades off and watches my kids while I sing with a women's choir once a week :)
