I resolve...

I'm resolving to continue blogging.  I think it's more important for me to look back on my week and remind myself that my life isn't just laundry.  And it's not.  It's so much more.  I'm so blessed!

1) The Boys:  
Jacob and Zack (along with cousins James and Silas) earned their God and Me religious merit badges in Cub Scouts.

The boys are perfecting the photo bomb...
Here they are sneaking in the pic of Lydia with her girlfriends.

Jacob is getting so big!  He can give piggy back rides to Lydia, Eliza and Zachary!

Zack having a Purple Minion kind of morning...  What a goofball!
2) The Girls:  
Lydia is a little mama and loves ballet with her best friend Lilly.  Eliza mimics everything, every word, and every gesture of her big sister.  She also loves to hold Anna Kate, calling her "Nana Tate".  Anna Kate is 7 months old now and has finally learned how to roll from her back to her front.  We're working on sitting up as well.  She is a bit delayed due to mild low muscle tone, but she should continue to meet her milestones just on a delayed schedule.  This is completely unrelated to her Nystagmus (wobbly eyes).  We are still being evaluated for that.  She had an appointment with Neurology and an MRI of the brain which were fine.  We have another test coming up soon with a pediatric ophthalmologist who specializes in genetic disorders of the eye to confirm the diagnosis of Albinism.

What a sweet ballerina!

The sisters in their new ("experienced") ballerina pajamas!

She has such personality!

He's such a good daddy!
We're working on sitting up!

I loved reading the blog this morning...you are right your life is so much more than laundry. You have a house that is full of life and love and fun times and a few laundry baskets every once in awhile :)
