lazy this morning

Well, the boys are gone, and I'm at home with a baby who is supposed to be napping.  It is VBS week at church.  Caleb is participating in VBS, Mark is the speaker for the week, and Micah is going to the VBS childcare.  That leaves me at home with one cute little baby.  I have several things to accomplish this morning, and I haven't done anything yet except sit around and order things online.  I could do so much this week with the boys gone.  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the prospect of trying to do so much.  I think first I'll take a little nap...

Well, so much for my blog...

Okay, it's officially been a YEAR since I last blogged.  A lot has happened in this last year.  I'll try to recap, but I'll probably forget half of what has happened.

First, and most importantly, last August we found out we were going to have another BABY.  Yes, you read that right, another baby.  This from the girl who said over and over that she was done.  I actually had several friends laugh when they found out.  I completely deserved it:)  Anyway, around the same time we found out, three of my other friends also found out that they were expecting.  Then, a most exciting thing happened.  All four of us found out we were having girls!  As my friend stated on her blog, "we thought we were boy-breeders", so we were stunned at this wonderful news.

On March 21, 2012, (three weeks early - usually I go late, so we were stunned by this too) I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with tons of dark curly hair.  (whose child is this anyway?)  We named her Naomi Noelle.  We brought her home and proceeded to fall more in love with her every day.  Her brothers have been so sweet with her.  It's been four months, and they still fawn over her constantly.

We also celebrated Micah's second birthday and Caleb's sixth birthday.  Mark and I celebrated our ninth anniversary. (kind of, I mean we had a new baby at the time)  The boys have been growing like weeds.  Caleb recently lost his two bottom front teeth, and Micah's vocabulary has been exploding.  He has been counting, identifying colors, and speaking in complete sentences.

Well, Naomi's crying to be fed, so I must go.  I'll try to come back and blog a bit more about our summer some other time.  Thanks for reading!
