I Just Gave Up

This post here is me throwing in the towel. I promised myself that I wouldn't do anymore blogging until I was caught up with my pictures. I can't do it. And I was so close to being up to date ...

I also wasn't transferring the pictures off my camera until I was caught up on Flickr uploading. But once I got to around 300 photos on my memory card, it started slowing the response time of my camera's preview capabilities. And this just would not do.

Plus, I've got some really cute pictures and more photo opportunities planned in the next few days.

I don't have time to type up the stories, but you can feast your little eyeballs on these and reassure yourself that we are all recovered and enjoying East Tennessee in Spring.

Playing with blocks ...



Playing with play dough ...
I was trying to see how long I could keep them in their seats while I cleaned the kitchen during breakfast time.
Answer: From the time they sat down to eat breakfast to the time they finally tired of drawing and play dough ... almost THREE HOURS!! Not bad.




Playing with the new toy vacuum ...
Julia helps Mommy rethread the vacuum cord every day

All done!

Playing outside ...


I've forgotten what she was asking about here. The question is "Where did it go?"


A visit from Uncle Keith, Aunt Kathy and Kristin ...

And Dax was sick for a little bit ...

But he was better the next day ...

Playing with the focal length and point on my camera ...

Playing at the zoo with Uncle Christopher ...




Eating our snacks outside while watching the roofing guys next door ...

Throwing the ball for Echo ...




Playing on the slide ...

It's not all fun and games for Mommy's Little Helper ...

So does that, like, imply that you vacuum every day????! [I am feeling shamed!]

wow - love the new pictures. How do you like your camera? You can definitely tell a difference, they look great. :)

AL-Just the living room rug because that is where at least 75% of our day is spent and it shows every single speck of dirt. And I walk around barefoot and cannot stand to have bits of things sticking to my feet! :)

Tab-love it. love it. love it. I'm a little bit wishing I had waited until I had saved up enough to get the newer lens so it would focus as quietly as my old lens, but then I would have missed a lot of great shots!!! And thanks!

Those are some terrific pictures. I can't believe you vacuum even one room every day. And I could easily still play with playdough for three hours.
