I'm unsure if that title sounds like a a good thing or a threat!
Anyway I have been meaning to get back to blogging again but since I had fallen so behind the thought of catching up was a bit overwhelming. I guess I have misplaced my motivation - if you happen to run into it please mention that I am searching for it. I have made an executive decision (hey, it is my blog after all) and will not even attempt to post those old updates. Therefore I apologize for no Christmas photos (nor January photos nor maybe even February photos!) but this way I can get back to doing what I love... sharing all our priceless moments with you.
I hope you will all start checking back more often now that I have returned. Oh, and don't forget to comment. I enjoy the ego boost!

Childhood Interpretations
I just love how children interpret everything so literally.
For example, my son had Tuesday off from school last week because it was a built-in snow day. I was excited to have an additional day to sleep in so you can imagine how annoyed I was to hear him up before 7:00. When I crawled out of bed to investigate his early awaking I found him staring out the window. Before I could open my mouth to reprimand he turned to me with a look of despair. "Mom, it's a snow day and there is no snow on the ground," he moaned. It turned out that the excitement of making a snowman had him up extra early that morning.
Two days later, while preparing breakfast for the kids, little Sis looked at me and said, "Mommy, you know that shampoo they show on the T.V. that makes babies not cry any more? It is weird." I guess she had seen a Johnson & Johnson No More Tears Shampoo commercial. I could almost picture her twenty years older calling and proclaiming "Mom, I used the magic shampoo but the baby is still crying. HELP!!" Wow, I am thankful the the opportunity to set her straight while she is young!
