going back to school...

not me...kendall:) kendall went back to school today, yay for him for keeping on keeping on! we are doing well here, and i am determined to have a good day because i knew this was coming and being sulky isn't cute, so...we are doing well. avery has had a 30 minute nap which i still don't understand, but i have accepted and decided not to fight, because it doesn't help if i do, anyway, and ethan got a tv show taken away today because he was fighting with me, so i think i've handled things well so far. we'll see how it goes.

avery is very excited to eat "real" food. whenever i'm eating or drinking and i'm holding her she opens her mouth, puts out her hands and makes wanting noises. we are trying to stave off starting solid foods, until i get my mom's older camera in the mail, as ours is belly-up. i know that's not a super great reason, but i already couldn't take my own pictures at christmas, i'm not going to have another "major" event in our lives without a camera! as you can probably surmise from my posting this, we got a new computer and it works fabulously. so no more shutting off.

although, we gave ethan the old keyboard and mouse and put a pillow for the monitor so he could "work" on his own computer and now every few minutes he says, "oh, man! my computer turned off!" wonder where he got that from?????

avery was officially 5 months old on saturday and time is flying! i can't believe we have been together that long. it's amazing. Saturday was also an anniversary of ours. it was 9 years from the time that kendall and i became a couple, when we had our DTR...kind of funny:) but we like to remember that date:)

Jon went back to school today too. Sigh. So I know how you feel. At least there is an end in sight for you, right? Only three more semesters? I don't even want to count how many "first day of the semester" Jon has left.
Anyway, good to hear from you. As soon as you get that camera, be sure to post some pics of the kids!

Christopher isn't back to school but don't worry...we are in the "not getting any student loan money woes" right now....it's always something!

If you want, I can come over and take a slew of pictures of Avery eating solid food...we could even get some on video! Just a thought...let me know!

I just wanted to say that I always enjoy reading your blog because your speaking voice is strong in every post. Everytime I read something written by you, I can hear all those little side comments you make in your style of talk. It's great!

jeez, 9 years?! I can't believe it's been that long. I think holding off solid foods till you get a camera is pretty funny, btw. How's your mom doing?
