I'm Baaaaaaaaaack!

Did you miss me?

I sure missed all of you! But I didn't miss starring at the computer screen!

Boy, I cannot believe know it's almost been a month since my last post. Geeze!

We have been SO busy around here this summer and I love it!

I wanted to update you all on everything that has been going on in the past month and then I will catch up on all my important posts!

It took the girls awhile to get over that hand, foot and mouth disease and you wouldn't believe it but Tim's feet are STILL peeling! I know - CRAZY! What a horrible virus that was!

Then Tim left for Maine with his Uncle Russ for a 6 days. He had a blast but it was really busy for me. The first few nights I barely slept because I was just nervous being by myself with all the girls overnight, alone. I know, I'm weird, but I don't like being by myself at night, especially when I have to be "the grown up". Don't even get me started if a big thunderstorm comes! Anyway, Tim's wonderful Nana and Aunt Bonnie came down to help me out and it was a lot of fun! Of course my awesome MIL helped a lot too! We had a lot of fun at her house and playing with the girls - photos to come!

Then almost as soon as Tim came home (that day, actually) Madelynn came down with a stomach virus and let's just say it ran it's course through our house and we went through more diapers in that 1.5 weeks than we do in a whole month. Between diapers, wipes, Clorox wipes, Tylenol and laundry detergent...it was a crazy week!

We made a trip to the doctor's office on a Friday afternoon and the weather prediction was for really bad storms and sure enough, after almost two hours at the doctors office with four very sick and upset children we had to bunker down in the halls because of the tornado warnings. There were a bunch of confirmed tornadoes but luckily we were fine. The girls all got weighed though and we officially have two little ladies in the 2o0bs! I cannot believe it! Madelynn was 20lb 10oz, Claire was 20lbs 2oz, Natalee was 17lbs 10oz and Emily was 14lbs!

We have been going to the park, going on walks, playing in our pool (at our house and at Nana's) and enjoying the company of good friends!

Oh and our internet has been out for two weeks and that is why I haven't been blogging or commenting. I apologize! It's going to take me awhile to catch up but I promise I will!

Now just for some randoms:

1. I cannot sleep anymore! I have insomnia so bad. All night! Err!

2. I have about 10 friends that are pregnant. I am so happy for them all. Even though I felt like I was pregnant for two years straight, I still miss it. There is nothing in the world better than growing your child in your belly. Maybe, just maybe there will be a fifth baby one day. I go back and forth. I would love it so many levels but I also feel complete just the way we are. Only time will tell.

3. Even though I haven't been blogging, doesn't mean I haven't been taking photos! :)

4. So looking forward to our mini-trips and vacation coming up. CAN.NOT.WAIT!

5. My sister finally moved out of my parent's house. Can I get an AMEN?! Like, AMEN! She has a cute little apartment in a neighboring town that is just perfect! Me and the girls visited last weekend while Tim was working and had a blast. She even let me escape to Target for a little while and that was awesome!

6. Bad Mom Here - Still haven't taken Emily's 4 Month photos, opps! She will be 5 Months in 11 days. Oh golly!

7. Because every post isn't complete without at least one photo...
