I Know It's Been Awhile...

So I know I'm totally behind on our blog. We had some birthdays, a trip, and even a baby shower that I still need to write about. And I'm sorry. I will get to it hopefully sometime soon. And I promise lots and lots of pictures for those of you that just can't get enough of our little family (come on, you know you can't). I just need to find time to upload them all onto the big computer, which hasn't seemed to be an easy task to get to lately. Once I rescue our house from the messy tornado that has hit us (that comes from a combination of two kids, one being a newborn, moving and me trying to adjust, along with my laziness), conquer the mountain of laundry that accumulated during our week and a half vacation, and have found time to remove two mutant, but very cute, leeches (the smaller one is all stuffed up and is having a hard time napping or laying down), I promise an update. And it wont be small-so consider yourself warned. I am now off to try harder to get a little one to sleep so I can shower (I am typing this one handed).

Oh, and I really do love those "leeches", and wouldn't trade them for the world. I don't mind them attaching themselves to me too much, but it makes it hard to get anything done. Anyone who can tell me how to get anything done without the bigger one smothering the little one to death, I'd love to know!

And this blog isn't a complaint of all I have to get done, just a warning I'm still adjusting and an apology to those who are waiting for an update. And a way for me to not go crazy with all I need to do. An update is on its way, hopefully sooner than later.

Weekend Visitors

Ben's dad wanted to meet Payton, so this past weekend we had Dan and Kathy here for a short visit. I hope they will come visit us more often since things seem to get done when they are here (this time Ben and Dan fixed a pipe in the front yard, and even got the grill cleaned so it could be used for Sunday dinner. I'm sure they did more too). We had fun with them while they were here. Here's a few pictures from the weekend:
Dan and Payton

Of course there was plenty of swimming this weekend. Baylee gets in the pool any chance she gets.

Baylee still can't get enough of Payton. She's always wanting to hold him.

Kathy and Payton. We finally got a picture of them together!

Baylee and Payton laying together on the couch. Payton seems to like Baylee almost as much as she likes him.



Dan with both the kids.

We can't wait to see Dan and Kathy and even more family in a little over a week!
