long time, no post

OK, OK!! I know it has been forrreeevvverrrr since I have posted, but I do have some good excuses!!

• I started my 25 hours a week the week of our Vermont trip so I had to actually get in 40 hours before we went away. This is tough to do working at home with 3 kids. I managed, but alas did not have any "free time" to do frivolous things like post on my blog.
  
• I then was away in SNOWY Vermont and didn't post because I was having too much fun enjoying the winter we never had this year!!
  
• This week, uggg...my computer froze and needed a trip to KOPs Apple Store Genius Bar. Thank goodness for them, but unfortunately they had to erase my hard drive and therefore, I have been spending all this week, putting everything back on (I don't recommend this to anyone)!! I also had to fit all my new hours in the short Wednesday-Friday!! Fun!!

Soooo...here I am exhausted at 11:00 at night and still need 10 more hours for work. I have posted a little "teaser" of the trip. Lizzie was bribed to smile in this pic. I promise more in the next week. We have a ton!!

Quote of the day: "Lizzie, when will you learn to obey the first time?" Joe said as he was trying to keep his patience with a little girl having trouble at dinner. "When I am 5 Daddy!!" --I had to cover my mouth and its brief smile.

"poor buddy boy"

Lizzie affectionately refers to Jackson as "buddy boy." Jackson woke up Saturday night sick and was feeling better on Monday and then has had a bad bout of the runs for the last 2 days. He complains of his belly hurting and I have to change him quite a lot. Lizzie just keeps saying "poor buddy boy."

Here is a picture of him the other morning sleeping in.
Quote of the day: "There is a party in my belly and the milk is the pool." --Lizzie said after dinner the other night and followed up giving credit to the show "Yo, Gabba, Gabba" apparently they said this on the show.
