As far as summer goes, it has been good, but I think my kids and I are ready for school. The boys are getting bored with all of this free time and I am ready for some free time. Max is now 7 months old. He started crawling last month and now he is pulling himself up to furniture and constantly falling down and getting hurt. He also loves to put everything in his mouth. So when he is awake I can't get a whole lot done. He is so smiley and happy all the time. The boys are all so good to him and love him too pieces.

it has been so long since I have posted I barely remember how to blog
wow, I can't believe it has taken me so long to finally sit down and do this. Dave is not going to be home for a few more hours and Max is asleep so I thought I would give it a shot. I am going to try to get a few pictures on here, but I have not figured out how to get them off our camera or my phone. But, alas I shall try. I will never give up. Well unless it takes too long. First I will start with a few random thoughts. My sister in law, Laura made me a book a few (well like, 8) years ago called a, thankful book. The idea was to jot down a few thoughts of things you are thankful for. I did it for a while and then misplaced the book and found it today and vowed today I would start to use it again. The first thing I put down that I am thankful for was my washer and dryer. Every week I think, " this is the week I will conquer the world and get caught up on my laundry!" and every week. I fail. Then today I had the thought, I can never get caught up on my laundry because we have too many clothes. and then it hit me, like a can of beans, we have too many things? how ungrateful is that statement? what if it only took me an hour every week to do laundry because each of us only had a few things to wear? and then I felt very ashamed and grateful at the same time. I am so grateful to first of all, have an abundance of laundry which means we all have plenty of clothes to wear and blankets to cover us and towels etc.. and second of all, to have a washer and dryer do all the work for me and not have to wash it all by hand. I am also grateful for my nanny who folds and puts all of this away while I go have a pedicure. Alright that last part was a lie. anyways, I am trying to look at the glass half full instead of half empty. So thank you Laura for my thankful book.

Don't stop now! Keep going....
Go Natelli, go! I agree with Kathy. We should get our babies together. He could teach Brielle how to crawl. She's so close. I don't know why I want her to, it only means I won't be able to take my eyes off of her for a second. Glad to know you're alive and well.
Nat you are one of my all time favs!
Did you end up getting milk????
YAY! YOU'RE BACK.
I have had that same feeling this week. I have a neighbor that ALWAYS has a spotless house. ALWAYS. She let me tour her master bathroom when I just stopped by. No one is allowed in my room if you just "drop by". I decided that I can't keep my house clean because I obviously own too many things. So, I sat down to an episode of hoarders, which always makes me want to throw away everything, then I took a huge box and started filling it up. This week, I went through all of my kitchen cabinets. I now own about half the stuff I did before and can find everything that I do own right away. It's AWESOME! There is someone that will appreciate the things that I have taken for granted! Plus, there are fewer dishes to do! Woot! Good luck with your laundry! My next battle will be Jeremy's closet, little does he know!
