The comeback!

“It’s been a while”, “long time no see”, etc. etc. etc. Many a time I’ve thought about posting (or started a million different posts, but never finished), and as more time passed, the harder I felt it would be to catch up.  It’s a very viscously stressful cycle, and I don’t care much for stress, or cycling, so I took the high road and just didn’t!  Well, we’re back…hopefully.  Last time I posted I was dressed up like a giant pair of award winning breasts, and now my real breasts, albeit not quite award winning, are still pretty giant and employing a much greater purpose.  Ok, this is the part where I start to hyperventilate, leave my computer, and start another post a few weeks down the road.  Where do I start? What to post?  What not to post?  No, stay strong!  Instead of trying to play a lengthy game of catch-up, I’ll just give a quick monthly run-down- complete with pictures! 



December 2011: We cut down our own Christmas Tree (and by we I mean the men did all the work while we picked the perfect tree.)



January 2012: James completed the Tough Mudder- a 12 mile interactive course with 30 obstacles, including icecold water and electrical shocks.

February 2012:  Akward maternity photo shoot.  (Disclaimer- photographer- awesome, subjects- akward, we are not naturally picture people) p.s Did I mention I was pregnant and having a baby?

 March 2012: I was super prego and slightly freaked out that a baby was coming our way, perhaps the reasons for the lack of pictures!

April 2012- We had a baby.  We figured, why not?  Everyone else is doing it!  His name is Cohen, and we gladly traded our sleep and sanity for him! 

May 2012- We blessed Cohen, and celebrated with a little grub!

May 2012- Ethan graduated.  My parents are the proud owners of 5 high school diplomas.

June 2012- We bought and sold various car parts!

 P.S. I have compiled a list of excuses for my lack of blogging. Pick whichever one(s) suits your fancy!


1. My computer is unmanageably slow these days.
2. Blogger takes a zillion years to upload a single picture.
3. Laziness
4. I’ve become so popular that I now need to hire a professional to blog for me, still going through the application process.
5. Work
6. Pinterest has put a severe dent in my internet usage
7. It’s too hot.
8. I was in a bizarre accident which rendered my fingers incapable of blogging. Doctors expect me to make a full recovery.
9. We got a DVR.
10. I gave birth (ok, so the physical act of giving birth didn’t prohibit blogging per say, but the aftermath sucks the life right out of you)
11. Our power went out.
12.  We moved to Yemen.
