Come Back

Thoughts, they run through my head all day. "Am I doing this right? Was that the right thing to say? Why didn't I say this, or do that?" The thought of returning to the blog world runs through my mind once in awhile and tonight I thought," I'm coming back, I need a little blogging therapy." I enjoy FaceBook and the connections I've made with people, but it's not what it use to be.......so I'm returning to my blogging roots.

I was kinda surprised to see my last post was in 2013? I thought for sure it was "pre Audrey" days. The long lost blogger has returned. Now to update that awful background design and get some recent pictures up.

Defeated

Yesterday *sigh. Yesterday was Saturday and by 1:00 I felt defeated. The kids won this one.
It all began at 1am Audrey wouldn't go to sleep Joaquin decided to join us in our shrinking bed. They both were asleep  at about 3:00am  and then the 2 roosters we have began to crow at 5am and the sun wasn't even up! Bella came into our room at 5:30 and said the roosters were keeping her awake.
Then 7am came around and Audrey and Joaquin and Maddie were up! No sleep for this mama. By the time lunch rolled around I was trying to make a simple phone call (you laughing because I said simple? ). As I was one the phone the neighbor kid knocks on the door asking for Parker, I tell the kids to go get Parker, of course they can't hear me because I'm whispering. Then they all need my instant attention by then my husband walks through the door and exclaims the soup is boiling over and why was I letting it boil over? I say good bye hang up the phone, and I sit on the couch. The attempt to make a simple phone call was the straw that broke the camels back. I was defeated.
I pick up Audrey and sat in the warm sun on couch by the window and closed my eyes. Audrey sat still sucking her binky and her warmth combined with sun rays shining on my face calmed me.

Maddie can fly

Snow!

It snowed last night! I cannot remember a time when is snowed so close to Christmas. You know when you watch those old Christmas movies and you see the scene of a lit Christmas tree with snow falling on the ground out side....I got that this morning. A beautiful sight, thank you God for a beautiful gift. When I woke up Bella for school this morning she went running to the front window and lifted up the blinds and gasped in excitment SNOW!!!!!

Audrey is now 9 months! She crawls (started late 5 months) and can stand for about 5 seconds on her own, walking is just around the corner. It's hard to believe she will be a 1 year in 3 short months. I just gave birth? She is sweet and she likes to make people laugh, she also waves "bye bye" and says "mama, dada, and by by." Alright it's shower time, kids are still asleep.

I'm suppose to be designing a poster right now, but I don't want to. I checked out a few blogs and thought (once again) I need to blog. I have thoughts I want to write down. But now those thought have escaped me.
Where am I now in my life? Audrey is 9 months and she is crawling everywhere. As I type this she is cruising around the office bumping into my chair much like a bumper car.
Joaquing in watching a the movie Aristocats, he likes any show with talking animals.
The girls are at school and Parker is in highschool.
Must go......Audrey wants to be held:)

Well here I am  blogging... we'll see if I can get back into this time.

Life......it's racing by and I wish the days were longer to enjoy each one of my babies. Isabella is so grown up and loosing her baby teeth. And we have new one to add to the bunch. Audrey Marie Baker was born March 5th 2012. She is the sweetest of the bunch (for now) smiles, laughs, sleep through the night at 2 months. I hold her and I'm calmed. Here's a picture of her when she was just a 2 weeks old and now she is 4 months!
