Are you there blog?
It’s me, Kathy.
I know you were told my break from you would only be over the summer (so that I could spend all my time with the boys), but the freedom has been VERY nice!!! Almost too nice… In fact, I have even thought of shutting you down. Watching Nate turn 4 this summer made me think about how fast he is growing up and with Preston in the picture…well it is going CRAZY fast!!!
Then ~ A Epiphany ~ I wanted to know when Nate started sitting up by himself (since Preston started last week). Wouldn’t you know it…I don’t have any info written down!!! {I know…BAD mama}
So here I am again, when I should be sleeping (will I EVER learn?)
A lot has happened since the last post. {I’m not even going to mention the date…but Nate’s birthday was in JULY!!!}
YIKES!!!
I promise I will come back more often and update.
But for now I leave you with some pictures of my favorite activity with the boys…
Just BEING!!!!
