My Babies and Me

meandthekids2

This is us. Us at the Davolt Family Reunion this June. Sometimes Mark can make it down and sometimes he can not. This year due to the Costa Rica trip, he was not able to. Hence why he is missing from the photo.

I first got my DVD of photos last week. I browsed thought them and was depressed. Yikes, I do not photograph well and it seems my tummy flab is hanging out in all the pictures. Got to love having kids. Not to mention we were at the lake so there are plenty of pictures in a swimsuit. Not cool either. For me anyway.

But as I was looking through the pictures, I always can not wait for the family shots. Every year we take a family picture, in that all that made it to the reunion line up and take a big family shot. There are about thirty or so of us and the kids are growing so much. It is really neat to see how much they change from year to year or how much they have changed since the beginning of this family reunion which took place in 2001. And each year for the photo we have new shirts (thanks to my sister, the KIKI) and we usually pose somewhere different. I would post them here, but due to privacy of other family members I will not. But they are really awesome to see.

Here are my kids and me struggling to keep them under control is the norm. Sometimes all you can do is laugh......

I LOVE that picture!

And don't worry at all about how pictures look. Easier said than done, I know. I have some pictures of me a couple years ago, and I was sitting in a weird position, and my stomach looks really gross, but I was actually really toned then (only time in my life!). Cameras do weird things sometimes, and that's not what really matters anyway!

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

I Need A Break Before *I* Break

Damn.  There is so much swirling around in my little brain.....So. Much. I am getting ready to enter my most personally difficult time of the year.  Emotionally.  I am also entering my most difficult semester (and LAST!) of college.  Oh, and trying to train for another half marathon.  There are many days as of late that I am not sure how I'm doing it or even why at times.  I am trying to keep it together, trying to keep a balance.  But sometimes I am not sure I am doing so well.  With so many plates to juggle, even if they are ceramic plates, I often feel as though I am dropping one (or more).   I am trying to figure out what I want in life.  What is important to me.  What I need versus what I want.  And how it all fits together with various parts of my life.  I'm learning that sometimes what you think is important is not so much and things that you didn't pay much mind to are actually more importan...
