Yes, still neglecting the blog. I'm consistently inconsistent, and you can take that to the BANK. Would you believe that I have not taken ONE picture since we moved to Texas? Not one. Not of the kids. Not of any kids. Not of our new house. Not of spring (but there's a good reason for that...spring doesn't exist). But I will. Probably. One major depressing thing is that right after we moved, we had to back up our hard drive to an external drive (is that even real computer-speak?), and now can't seem to get it to talk to us. This means all our pics that were on the computer are effectively gone. **sniff, sniff** And that is probably why I'm hesitant to take more pictures. The pictures won't commit to me for life, so I'd rather not get attached. As soon as I get over this (mostly) irrational fear, I'll try to get some shots of the kids up on here.
So lately...
*Molly made dinner, by herself, for the first time ever. It was scrumptious, and she did a great job. My plan here is to quickly work myself out of a job. Well, one anyway. Wonder of wonders, she hates diagramming sentences (which is as pointless as learning cursive) as much as I do. But FI.NAL.LY she is getting a grasp on her multiplication facts. whew.
* Warren lost his 2 front teeth, and sounds so funny w/ his temporary lisp. love it.
* Henry lost his first tooth. he was underwhelmed.
* Carrie now knows all her letters, their sounds, and a some blends. she is not, however, interested in school. this is fine with me. I am not interested in adding a new student yet. ever.
* Liam went pee in his new little potty. he was very excited, proud, and happy about the Skittles we gave him. that was 3 days ago, and he will not sit on the potty again. that is fine with me. I am not interested in potty training a new student yet. ever.
* Dave is awesome, though that is not a new happening, just thought it was worth mentioning.
* I am enjoying having a produce co-op again, and loving the raw milk co-op! I like to get my milk before the government gets their hands on it, but that's just me.
Better start Wednesday, now that it's halfway over.

Kristen, I always love your updates, but, no pressure. I think if I had to move half way across the country (or even down the block) with 4 (or 5) kids it would put me out of commission for a really long time! On another note, I am SO sorry to hear about your pictures!! Argg! How awful! Hopefully, you can take it somewhere to get them back...?
I demand that you get serious and pick up the blog pace. Glad you are getting settled and are enjoying most everything. Weather not included. Love you!
know how you feel about the pics. . . it stinks and I'm so sorry you lost yours.
haha! That elvis comment was from me . . didn't realize I was signed in as chris, he never logs out!
stop blogging. it makes me miss you bad... ly.
Never lose hope! You can always take your drive to a data recovery place. Those pictures may yet be saved (in a non soteriological sense.)
Just Google "Data Recovery"
I hear you about the disinterest in adding new student. Anywhere. Ever.
Interesting about the milk. What all do you do with it? Off to google "raw milk co-op".
Joanna, we use raw milk just like you would use your store-bought milk. we drink it (well, I don't, but I'm not a milk person), bake w/ it, eat it on cereal, etc. we like it so much better, plus its so much better for you (which of course is why the government would like to outlaw the sale of raw milk).
LOVED it!!! Can't wait for us to catch up....
I love your posts - even pictureless! :) I hope you're enjoying San Antonio for the both of us!
