just some sentences.

we've been gone from home for the past SIX weeks!!!  crazy!  ((more on that later.))

right now i'm averaging less than 5 hours of sleep a night.   i often wonder how much better i'd function during the day with a full nights sleep.

the fires in our beautiful state are heartbreaking.   the news coverage makes me speechless.   today its smelled like a campfire all day.   pray, pray, pray!

who else is excited for the olympics?!   for the past 3 olympic games we've had a new baby in the house.   not sure how much longer that trend is going to continue.

another trend we're not sure will continue for much longer...unintentionally all of our kids names are also counties in kansas.   some counties/names that won't be used as possible future kids names: chautaugua, trego, kingman.

we came home the other day (from being gone for nearly 2 months) to our lawn being taken over by a fungus.  lovely.

loving these free prints with verses that are decorating our fridge.

in the past six weeks i have developed a full-fledged addiction to coffee.   it is one of the first thoughts when i wake up in the morning.

i'm feeling confident enough to say, gage is potty trained!!!   woohoo!!   we still sometimes have accidents from time to time but not enough to keep track, we're newly potty trained but not really in training mode anymore.  i'm a happy happy mama!!

we're back in business with a computer.   thank you...you know who you are.  there aren't enough thank you's we can say!

lane knows all the planets.   my favorite to hear him say is jupiter.

every year as the 4th of july approaches i say to myself that i need to learn how to photograph fireworks, maybe this year i will?

looking forward to blogging again:)
