What was I doing again?

As a new mom (again) I often walk around saying to myself, "what was I doing again?" Then I walk around the corner to find my baby in the highchair waiting for his next bite, or maybe I open the dryer to find a load of clothes that was ready for folding a couple of days ago, or there are the times I forget to eat even a single thing. It's as if I am walking around in a trance... lulled by the sounds of Lego Star Wars on the wii, or the "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" toy playing it's tune for the 100th time in a row, or is it the clothes dryer, the dishwasher, Elmo singing his ABC's? Whatever my excuse, I wonder if my husband runs into similar problems at work? He sees my life as a bunch of "little adventures".... Ha! I'm so adventureous that today I may take the kids to play tennis and forget to cook dinner... again!

"Her Highness"

We call McKinley "Your Highness" because good things always come her way, and she is our Princess. She is happiest when surrounded by her friends. She is a talented performer and loves to act and sing. She is so helpful with her brothers, and is a natural Mommy. She's often thinking about the underdog and is a friend to everyone. She has a special place in her Grandparent's hearts, and chats on the phone with them with ease. McKinley knows Jesus as her Savior, and loves to teach others about Him.

Big Mountain, Big Brother

Everest lives up to his name! He keeps us laughing, and is always thinking of his Big Sis! When he's not playing with her, he loves to play with his Best Buddy, Sammy. Everest is a natural engineer, builder, creator. He loves building Legos and collecting rocks. He has a tender spot in his heart for Hagen. He is Hagen's resident binky placer, music maker, seat bouncer, poopy detector. Life without Everest would just be "flat!"

Our Little Lamb

Hagen fits into our family so perfectly. God knew just what we needed. He is "our baby".

I'm giving up Not Blogging for Lent...

So here is my first attempt at trying a regular blog. I'm just 5 days late in giving something up for Lent, but better late than never!

I know I will look back at this fleeting time and wish I had some sort of record of all the sweet, smart, innocent, and insightful things my kids have to say on a regular basis, so that is my inspiration.
