Whoops!

With all of the birthday stuff and surgery for Katherine, I totally forgot to upload the pictures to my webpage for August. It's done now and I also added September photos.

Things are going well around here. The kids are testing us right now but I think we are getting a handle on it. Other than that, we went to Busch Gardens today and it was nice. Katherine is finally tall enough to ride the River Rapids so she went first with Woody then twice more with me. We all got soaked.

She's eating better now too. The dr. who took out her tonsils said "they were huge and chronically infected. She will probably sleep better now and eat better too". Granted, I thought her was nuts but so far, he's right.

We let Spot and Louie go last week. I found a beautiful golden tree frog on our screen and Katherine decided she wanted to have him instead of the lizards. She gave the lizards hugs and kisses and released them into the wild of our front lawn. She's figuring they will stick around and say "hi" occasionally. If I were them, I'd run far far away...quickly! So now we have a golden frog in the terrarium. I hope he eats crickets since that's all the reptile food I have right now.

Katherine is healed and back in school so we are all getting back into our routine. It's so much easier around here with a routine. Everyone, including me, was off of their game for the last few weeks.

We are working on getting Lauren to sleep in her sisters room. So far so bad. It's not going well at all. But, last night I was rocking her and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She started whispering it while pretending to be asleep. It was too stinking cute for words.

I may actually miss rocking my babies to sleep. If you'd asked me that two years ago when I was still rocking Katherine to sleep on a regular basis, I'd say you were nuts. Now, there is an ache in my chest when I think of them both going to bed with no help from us.
