You know how sometimes something seems like a really good idea in your head, but about two minutes into it you are wishing you had never ever thought of it???
Exhibit A:
It's hard to tell in the picture but there is boiling hot tomato bisque all over the walls, floor, and cabinets.  Also all over me.  Burns.  

We are getting ready to leave for vacation tomorrow so today I had a long list of errands to run. I noticed there were quite a few tomatoes ripe on our vines, as well as some in our fridge that we hasn't used so I decided I would made a giant vat of Tomato Bisque and freeze it in individual portions for Loralie's lunch box.  Isn't that so very domesticated of me?  An hour later and my kitchen looks like a crime scene, I narrowly missed electrocution and third degree burns... But I have soup, by George!
I will not be making this again without an emersion blender.  Period.

Goodbye

It's amazing how your life can change in a single minute. One minute you are laughing and having fun, and the next minute your legs have given out from under you and you are sobbing uncontrollably in the middle of the Tropicana casino while everyone looks at you like you are insane. One minute you are on a date with your husband and enjoying your vacation, and the next minute you are listening to the phone call that will flip your life on it's ear. One minute you have a father, and the next minute you find out that he is gone. I am on an overnight flight right now, heading home from Las Vegas. This is not at all how I thought this blog post would go. Tonight was me and Calebs last night in Vegas. We were supposed to leave for home tomorrow morning. We had a great trip and decided to spend our last night in Vegas listening to a comedian. We had literally been laughing for the last hour and were just walking out of the theater when Calebs phone rang. I knew right away tha...

Simmin' in the Simmin' Pool!

So, our outdoor baby has a new love of her life- "Simmin' in the simmin' pool!" I think she would be out there all day if I let her! In fact, I have to watch her really carefully when we are just playing in the backyard, cause she has been known to crawl in by herself fully dressed! She likes to splash and kick, and play with her watering can and rubber duckies. Mama is going to have a good tan by the end of this summer!

The Cousins Visit!

Loralie has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of her COUSINS! Starting last week she has been constantly asking when "Michael and Daniel gonna come see me???" and on Monday night THEY ARRIVED! Tuesday morning Caleb took his brother Levi with him to work and Robyn and I took the kiddos to the Under the Sea playland at Crown Center. They ran around like crazy for a few hours, enjoying the seaweed forrest, the mermaid house, and the pirate ship! Then we went to the crayola store and did a little doodling. Lunch was delivered via choo-choo at Fritz's (man, that place is LOUD.) Then we went home and took much needed naps! The evening brought more fun and energy exertion at the Moonbounce place at the Zona Rosa. Loralie was excited that she could do the big ladders and slides all by herself. She liked it when Baby Matthew would "watch" her go down the slide. Then the daddies arrived, and we strolled over to Tom Fooleries for dinner. This time the kids ate o...
