I'm a bad blogger...








I'm a bad blogger, but a good mother, maybe... at least that's what I keep telling myself!

This is LONG past due, since my son is 3 months old this Friday! But you see there is this whole taking care of a baby and toddler thing while balancing a new job to deal with.

Ok, of course posting the pics for all my babies' fans out there.

SO... I had Caleb Dec. 21st which you might recall is close to a MAJOR HOLIDAY. Did I think that this would be a problem, of course not, because I am the eternal optimist and thrive on doing 101 things at one time. Could I have waited until after Christmas, yes, but I thought, "Hey, who wants to be preggers on Christmas when you could be holding that baby OUTSIDE OF YOUR BODY?!" (Do you put thoughts in quotes, yes, now you do.) Are you with me?

So, it was one thing after another... got that beautiful baby boy, got a sinus infection, took meds, I was allergic (not pleasant AT ALL), also dried up my milk (got it back, praise Jesus!), got NO SLEEP (even in the hospital), cried on Christmas (pathetic, but I was so sick), family went back home, Savannah got a stomach virus, I got that, then we found out we ALL had strep (mom, dad, Chanel, Brian, Jared, me, and Savannah), blah, blah...

We are well now and just basking in the blessings and sleep deprevation of being a family of FOUR! What?! I feel like I'm 40 years old or living someone else's life! It really is so wonderful.

I also am the youth intern for Fellowship Bible Church, and it is a dream job! I write the curriculum for Wed. night Bible study, lead the 10th grade girls, encourage the female leaders, etc. I still wonder when they'll figure out that they're paying me to do what I'd do for free. ;-)

Ok, everyone caught up? Miss you and love you so!

Ohmagah, I can't stop laughing at Caleb's face in that first picture...

"These crazy ladies...Are we done yet?!"

He looks so much like Jared!

And Savannah's toothy smile - Chad went through that phase, when "smile" meant open your lips and put your teeth together.

SO FRICKIN CUTE!!!

Give them big smooches for me.

Love you all!
