Love this post!
Looks like you had an eventful absence. 😉
And I hear you on the blogging thing. Totally.
You crack me up. R seems quite a handfull…I wonder who she inherited that from?
Don’t you dare quit blogging, I will cry.
So many numbers, I would have ran out of fingers to count on a long time ago.
HF & M is poopy. Very, very poopy. Sorry to hear that R had it.
Yeah. I can’t count this high.
Glad to have you back…?
Whoa. And I thought thing were crazy around here.
I am strongly opposed to you quitting blogging. How will I keep up with your life if you quit? 🙂
Okay, I stopped cold at hand foot mouth. Nothing is worse than that. Sorry to hear you went through it, and I hope it doesn’t happen again.
I’m so sorry things have been so rough lately! I hope things settle down soon. And I’m proud of R! She was a bigger girl about it than I would have been.
Wow sounds like you’ve been busy. Ok you’re off the hook, especially since you took such good notes.
