Photobucket">I baked brownies - Kaitlyn and BooBoo hangin' in the (under-construction) ensuite - Marley likes to sleep by her food bowl just in case any food happens to appear - Sky/clouds here are beautiful - Kaitlyn and BooBoo - Baby sportin' a mohawk - Eva lost her SECOND tooth - Double blended Mocha Frappuccino for my husband - Eva and Daddy enjoying the hot tub - Marley asleep on my slippered foot - Kaitlyn playing at the park after her first day of "Library School" - Kaitlyn and Tucker on the couch - I found Kaitlyn napping with BooBoo after hours of hunting for him EVERYWHERE (including re-hiking the mountain to look for him), and she knew where he was all along...sigh.
I can't believe it's October. I know, everyone says that, but I'm for REAL. I thought my iPhone calendar was broken when it said "Oct 1"...I went in to my settings...couldn't figure it out. Until I finally realized the phone was not broken at all, it was in fact my brain that was broken.
Some highlights from this week include:
-I woke up this morning at 7:00am, trying unsuccessfully to get Tucker back to sleep. Wandered out of the bedroom with a baby cradled in my arms, into the kitchen where I found my husband stirring up hot chocolate for the girls that were downstairs playing legos. My eyes were then drawn to the stove where there was already chicken stock simmering for supper, and then I noticed my pup, passed out on her blanket- which was highly unusual, because she is always uncontrollably hyper in the morning. Upon inquiring what was wrong with the dog, Nich casually said that he took her for a morning jog on the mountain until she was worn out.
Yes, I am married to Superman.
-Today, in the late afternoon, Nich was in the kitchen making his famous chicken noodle soup, and I was sitting on the floor of the living room, with a guitar in my lap, a baby laying beside me, a puppy gnawing on her bone at my feet, and my daughters on their little guitars and shakers, strumming worship songs. Yahh, at those moments, I know I am blessed.
-And, my personal favourite, even though all of the above warms my heart, a conversation I overheard in the girls bedroom last week.
Nich: Eva, can you put away your clothes in the hamper? Mommy cleaned your room and does your laundry, the least you can do is put away your own dirty clothes.
Kaitlyn: Yah, Mommy does a lot!! She made breakfast and lunch and dinner, too!

Mmhmm, that one still makes me smile. A very awesome thing for a little 3 year old to say. I hope you are all doing well. And, that you are finding a lot to smile about in your life, too.
Wowza, lady, sounds like a pretty awesome last little while! I'm glad my bro is such a stellar husband to you. :)
