Post Title Here

(It's too stressful for me to come up with post titles...)

So I know I'm back in the swing because it's 2pm on a Sunday, Matt's watching the Bengals (even though the offense apparently decided to not show up to the game), and I'm sitting at the computer trying to find ways to procrastinate on making this week's lesson plans. Sigh. It's good to be back! ;-)

Robby rolled over last night -- from his back to his tummy which I consider to be tougher than the other way. He'd rolled from his tummy to his back at Grandma & Z's this week. Hannah doesn't really show signs of doing this yet but doesn't seem frustrated by that.

Went to my sister's bridal shower yesterday. It was a lot of fun and so good to see everyone who was there. It was mostly my mom's old friends (w/ my aunts and grandma and my sister's good friends), all of whom I consider to be like family. All of whom I have sort've grown up with having around a lot and all of whom, I am pretty sure, are nurses! We tease my mom about only being friends w/ nurses! Matt's mom came too and she is, of course, a nurse as well!

I brought the babies and they behaved pretty well. Of course, there were like 20 women there helping me to hold them so that was definitely helpful.

We're really starting to feel the "crunch" of those last 2 months before the wedding. Fri night the babies and I went over to my mom's to help her and my sister finish up the invites (George helped too). So those are in the mail and we're trying to finish up all the details as we can! My sister has her first dress fitting this week which is pretty exciting! Hey the link to her cool blog is to the right there -- "Cinnamon and Lemons". Check it out if you get a chance!

Faith and Mari start preschool this week. Mari goes a half day tomorrow. Faith doesn't do her half day until Wednesday. I'm nervous for Mari -- she is so unpredictable at times. I'm leaning towards her being totally fine and not even realizing I've left. But part of me wonders if she'll melt down. With Faith we knew for sure she'd melt down -- no surprises there. So we'll see with Mari. She's taking a good nap as I type this so that will help that she'll be well-rested.

We'll see how Mommy does with it all. Both the emotional part of realizing half my children are in school now and the physical part of getting everyone where they need to be!

Just to keep it germane--I can't believe you guys have four kids and that you haven't lost your minds yet. The other reason, to appologize for not letting you know about the new site--I thought I sent an email, but it must have been to an old address. But congrats on being the first comment to the blog. Be sure to visit frequently!

We shall visit often and hopefully others will too. As far as losing our minds...yeah. To quote Ford Prefect: "I went mad for a while...did me no end of good."
