Turkey Lurky Yummy Tummy!

[Insert some diddy here that acknowledges that I'm a blog flunkee. Throw in some excuse about Facebook being easier and more rewarding.]

I'm baaaaack! As you can see, I've been absent for some time. See above. I have managed to keep my booklist updated and I've read some real quality stuff these days. And some pure fluff as well. Life needs balance.
Since I've last posted:
  • My kids have challenged me.
  • They've said funny stuff. Constantly.
  • If it weren't for the amazingness that is the YMCA, my butt would have taken on the shape of the van seat. Call me Mommy Bus.
  • I've had fun, fun times with friends.
  • Oh, I had a very mild case of shingles and a whopper sinus infection.
  • Nolan had the oinker flu (diagnosed by me) and didn't pass it on to the rest of us.

Which brings us up to current things I think. We came to The Farm Tuesday afternoon and are here through Sunday. Food, food, food, kitties, kitties, kitties.

This is Big Daddy. He's made his moves on Mama Kitty. Her tummy's getting quite round. He robbed the cradle, too. She's hardly full grown.

My Manly Husband keeping the wood box filled so we can stay cozy and warm in the house.

Like Father, Like Son. After Turkey Naps.






Hand & Foot. I lost. I have an excuse. A 15-month one.

Here he is! He's a bit under the weather. Loves his thumb and belly button. Together. Doesn't so much like one without the other. Makes zipup pj's a hindrance. As are onesies or overalls.

Found Mom's old comic book stash. Life is good.

A doll even though he's a bit 'off.'

Ahhh, I see Avrie's fun face she is making and now I am wondering if Klara taught her or if Avrie taught Klara! It has been her favorite thing to get us to do lately.
