The New Year

Well, the New Year has been a little bit chaotic so far, but mostly we've just been trying to recouperate from December. The kids weren't happy about going back to school, but they've survived. As you can see, I've been working on my blog today but really my time should have been spent organizing. Saturday, we started re-arranging the kid's rooms, and there's a lot to be done. Lauren moved in with Tess, Zach got Lauren's queen-size bed, Ella got a new day bed/trundle that we will use to store toys, and I'm re-organizing what used to be our desk area to a new coloring/art area. We'll see how it all works out...I should be done maybe by summer, ha, ha!

Last week Lauren and Ella were sick...Lauren had Strep and Ella had Croup. Poor girls, they were miserable. On Monday I got a call from Tess while she was at school. She called and said, "Mommy, my belly hurts" and then nothing else, she hung-up. So, I called the school back and I asked them if they had Tess down in the office. They didn't, so they transferred me to her classroom. Tess answered the phone, but she was crying at this point so I asked to talk to her teacher. I asked her teacher if I needed to come pick her up, and she quickly said, "Yes, I think so....Tess' belly was hurting and she just threw-up all over the phone!" You have got to be kidding me, right? NO....that's Tess for ya! Poor Tessy, and her poor teacher who had to clean vomit off of the phone, YUK!

Well, I now need to go and get dinner started, but here are some random photos of us this past month....Love to all, Kim

What sweet pictures! If i had a list of things i thought i would never be able to handle as a parent,it would be throw up! But i suppose i've learned how to deal, although I'm very dramatic when I have to clean it up: "Oh geez, oh gross, stand back! oh man!.." hope she is feeling better, poor thing.

At least it was at school and not all over your carpet!! That's why they get paid the big bucks! jk. :)

Love all the pics of your adorable kids. I also love catching up with you. I miss our old times. Life was simplier it seems - I am ready to go back to fairview street!
Hugs and kisses!
