Jack loves to sit with Josh while they play video games (normally basketball or football)

What you'll see on our front door.....

Yesterday morning Morgan had this posted on our front door before I could even get out of bed. And yes, she CAN write in neat handwriting (just was writing too fast I suppose- the sign was too important to take her time).

Apparently the fertility isn't just limited to the humans in this house...

see three kitties!!!! more details to follow....

It's really hard to hold your sister when she weighs more than half your weight. (Jack weighs 21lbs and Gracen weighs somwhere around 12 or 13lbs.)

and one more of the new little princess- she doesn't like the flash on the camera.

I swear I don't set out to kill all of our appliances....

They die on their own!!! Our dryer went out yesterday. :( I think it's just a heating element because it will still tumble but not heat up, but I need Josh to look at it to be sure. So.....I've done 4 loads of laundry so far (including a load of diapers) without a dryer. That's not so bad if you have an outdoor clothesline with plenty of space, but since we only have an indoor line it's not so cool. I've always hung regular clothes to dry and when I only had one in diapers I hung all the diapers and cloth wipes to dry, but I've never before hung underwear, towels and sheets. I like those dried in the dryer. So....here's some more pictures for your viewing pleasure. I had to make use of all the space (including the extra laundry baskets!)



And now for a little humor. We will be married 7 years in June. The first year of our marriage I didn't kill any appliances. In the time since then.....I've killed a washer (after Josh had already repaired it twice), half killed another (Josh fixed it), killed two dryers, one refrigerator, clogged a dishwasher and seriously clogged a sink disposal (to where Josh had to take apart all of the pipes underneath). Ok, I'm sure I've done more that but that's enough for now. Don't forget- I didn't really kill the 5 year old fridge- the valve just went out in the water dispenser in the door and flooded the entire house- we had to have all the hardwoods replaced only 1 week before we sold thehouse and moved out. Oh yeah- and the washer I killed flooded our entire new laundry room 1 week after we moved out of previously mentioned house and into the new one. (Thank goodness for laminate flooring in the laundry and not hardwoods!)

So either I'm hard on appliances or the darn things just don't last as long as they used to. You can decide. :)
