So, uh, anybody out there?

I know, it's been a really long time since I've posted, so you've all probably scurried on over to more interesting, and certainly more 'au courant', blogs. What excuse can I use... hmmm.... um.... yeah, okay, so I've got nothing. But to make up for it, I'm going to fill this post up with pictures! Because hey, what's better than pictures?!

First a couple of shots of the girls looking oh so cool in their new shades...

















Then a bunch taken a couple of weeks ago at the Tulip Festival...






As you can see, they had a blast running around with DoT...






Okay, so that's it for tonight. Does that make up for my long absence?

In any case I'm off to Google me some medical diagnoses (always fun). I have a really cool bump moving around under my skin on my left hand. Doesn't cause me any problems, but it does kind of put in mind of horror movies, or the X-files, and I kind of expect to see thousands of little alien bugs come streaming out of my hand at any time now. Well that certainly would give me fodder for my next blog post. :-)

Blogger's block...

Uurrgghh. I have blogger's block. I know I should update the blog, but I can't think of a single interesting thing to say. Oh sure, I could tell you about the boring, old stuff going on, which I've already told you many times before (oh, will we ever leave the sleep saga behind?!) But I'm getting sick of typing about it, and I'm sure you're getting sick of hearing about it.

Now that the girls are running around, there is not as many new and exciting "firsts" to tell you about. Although on Sunday of this week we all went to their first birthday party. Our neighbours little girl turned 2 on Sunday and we went to one of those indoor play places. You know the kind... there's a big play structure that requires lots of climbing and contortions for anyone with little kids. DoT and I followed A and E around, and around, and around, helping them over some of the hurdles that were just a bit too big for kids their size. Anyhow, they had a great time, and DoT and feel like we did the circuit about a hundred times. I know it wasn't nearly that many, but still, I'm a bit sore today. (Sorry, no pictures since I forgot my camera.)

Also, April 28th was the one year anniversary of when we got the referral for the girls. In honour of the occasion I went back and read the post we made that day, and some of the posts over the weeks following that. Wow, it took me right back. I can't believe it's been a year. It's flown by. Looking back I remember that my biggest fear of that time was that they wouldn't sleep well. Huh, I must be psychic. Well, as worried as I was about that, I now know that when you don't have a choice you somehow manage. And I'm betting that years from now I won't even remember all the sleepless nights...

that's why I have proof on this blog. Yes, A & E, you will have some serious making-up to do one day!

Well, that's it for tonight. I'm too tired to go downstairs and get the camera, even though I know there are some cute pictures on it. My sister's family gave us a Little Tykes picnic table that her boys have outgrown, which the girls sat at for quite awhile yesterday and I've got some good shots. Maybe they'll make it on to the blog next time

Happy spring everyone. Oh, yeah, it's Tulip Festival time and we're always happy to have visitors, so come on to Ottawa if you feel like a get-away.
