Rewind

Boy, it's hard to get back to blogging. I think maybe I've got blogger's block. I sort of feel like it's all been said. Also, my thoughts are mostly occupied with "serious" things lately. I'm not sure they're good blog material. Ultimately, though, I have to remember that the main reason I write this blog is for my children. I want them to have a record of their mother.

Anyway, I'm trying to get back into practice. I thought I'd share some pictures from the "lost months", the months I haven't really blogged.

This is a picture from the day Phin and I came home from the hospital. Blythe had come home from the hospital the day before. Lots of emotions that day. It was good to be back together.

 

Dude! (Note to Nony:  This reminds me a lot of your Parrain. Hee, hee!)

 
My friend, Sharon Colomb, bought the blanket (top) for Evelyn when she was born. It turned out to be her special "blankie". Two years later, Mrs. Sharon was appalled at the condition and could stand it no more. She bought a beautiful, new, exact replica for Evie. Evelyn wll have no part of this "new-fangled" blanket. The first blanket is Evie's Velveteen Rabbit. 

 

Evelyn loves her baby brother. We've been blessed that none of our children have gone through the "not the baby anymore" blues.

 
Remember, we are not to covet. Check out Blythe's eyelashes with a little mascara on them. I hope she appreciates these one day.

Yes, that's right. Another broken arm. I'll be sending the orthopedic doctor a Christmas card this year.

 
One more for today. Since she was old enough to care, Claire has had an obssession with baby equipment. Strollers, car seats, pack and plays, etc. set her heart aflutter. Don't ask me why. This is her doll's car seat from when she was little. Sweet little Phin fits perfectly. 

 

Maybe some more pics tomorrow.

Wow, what a fall! So much has happened, and you've lived to blog the tale. Evelyn and Blythe are growing so much and growing so beautiful. Frank says Blythe can use those eyelashes as an extra pair of hands. Oh, and I'm pleased that Jade decided to grow his hair out; he looks absolutely hippy-fab. He would make my parrain proud! And it looks like Claire can wear her hair pretty much any way and look beautiful. Can't wait to see more of Phin. I think Emma has outchunked him. It'll be so fun to put them side by side!

By the way, Emma's "blanky" is her burp rag. We can tell when she's sleepy b/c she starts burrowing her face in it and cuddling it. We call it her "lovey."

Those eyelashes...oh my word. Gorgeous.
I understand about the blanky thing. None of my kids have ever had a "special" thing they needed. But Addison does. Her auntie bought her a soft fleece dolly. And it turned out that this doll is Addison's "woobie". I searched high and low for a replica (Target had no more) and ended up paying highway robbery for a duplicate. However...I wash them both together so they both are getting "well-loved".

Ya-ay! I knew you'd be back. :) The pictures are fantastic. That's so funny about Evelyn's blanket. My little guy used to get so mad when I washed his. Like I was taking away it's "delightful" scent.
