Sorry for the lack of posts

Man, I am getting worse and worse about blogging. I am going to TRY VERY HARD to do it on Sundays from now on. No promises though. ;0)

Life is great! I started a paper route and I actually really enjoy it. I love the cold, crisp morning air and those few moments of stillness before everyone wakes up. I am going to have to have Clark take a picture of me in my "paper route gear" because it is hilarious. I wear a ski mask, a big Carhartt coat, a headlamp, and a newspaper holder pouch.

The kids are growing too fast. (Yes, I am ready for another baby!) Will is such a sweet and busy child. Always playing with his cars, legos, tractors, etc. Rosie is talking so much now. The other day, I counted an 8 word sentence! Wow! She loves going on walks and picking the berries from our bush for the birds.

Clark is doing really well this semester and getting excited to be done with school. We are browsing job options and possibly considering the Navy.


Go pokes! We've won our last 3 games!!!


I turned 27. Notice the cute carrots on the cake? Amy (my lil sis) made them.


Recent pics of our family.

We had Rosie say, "Chinchilla" for the picture. We couldn't get a smile, but she loves chinchillas (because of an animal library book) so we had to make do.



Will on his trike. Need I say more?

Maria, all of these pictures are wonderful and it makes me miss your little family SO much! You look beautiful. I wish I could have been there for your birthday.

And yes, definitely, please post a picture of you in your newspaper-delivering gear! That sounds hilarious.

I love you all!

Cute family pictures. And happy late birthday... after all of these years I still remember what day it is (same day as Heidi Ackermans). I would love to see a picture of you in your paper route gear... it sounds too funny! And I figured it was only a matter of time until you would be ready for another baby... I am finally there, too (although I am waiting and trying to time things around a few thing that I don't want to be huge and pregnant for next summer... silly, I know).
I am impressed that you have any time to update a blog at all with 2 kids, so no apology necessary for the lack of posts!

I still can't believe you wake up so early for your paper route. I don't know if i could do it. I love your family pics... You have the cutest family.

I think that is awesome that you get up and do a route. So hard core!! J/K. I hope you don't have to run from dogs! And your family is so cute. Scoping out possible jobs is always nice!
