Through The Years

Since this is the time of year for reflection, I give you the kids through the years. It begins with Davis' first Christmas because that is when we first had the digital camera. We have a scanner but for some reason it does not work. So I can not put pictures of Emma's first Christmas's on here. Besides, seeing Emma on her first Christmas might cause me to fall into a depression.

Here they are:

Davis on his first Christmas. ~2004~ (sniff, sniff, where did my baby go???)

Davis on his second Christmas. ~2005~

Davis on his third Christmas. ~2006~

Emma on her fifth Christmas. ~2004~

Emma on her sixth Christmas. ~2005~

Emma on her seventh Christmas. ~2006~

Davis obviously looks very different from each year. Emma you can see, looks almost the same from 2004 to 2005. But then from last year to this year.....she looks older. Both of the kids look a lot bigger and older this year than last year. My kids are growing up. And no one asked me if it was okay.

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...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
