As of late...

I do apologize for my lack of blogging... but in all fairness, you have been warned of my inability to commit to this thing! Anyway, it's been a while and life has unavoidably progressed! So to catch you up...

CONGRATS to Morgan for becoming a big sister on Friday! (oh, Ali and Brad to, not for becoming big sisters, but for having another baby!) Here is my pretty new niece, Miss Violet Patricia... that is right everyone, my kids now have 2 cousins!

Also, we had Halloween...

Tanner was sick for two very long weeks and got addicted to Mario Cart while he laid around. So when it came time to decide on a halloween costume, he, of course, chose Mario! (thanks Shannon for the picture... Tanner has recently broken my camera.) Anyway, his little neighbor buddy was Luigi! I thought they were hillarious! Kate was a red mushroom and Luigi's little brother was a green 1up mushroom! Unfortunately they didn't win the costume contest! Oh well...

To mention other things that have recently broken...

We came home from Cory's parents house last Sunday to find that my clock fell off my wall, hit the shelf below it and obliterated my things that were on the shelf (to protect them from Tanner.) Needless to say, I cried... mostly over one thing, but I have such a limited number of nice things... and the number keeps getting smaller, daily. Oh well, it is just stuff, and no one's fault because we weren't home.

The changing table... not sure how, but both shelves are broken through. I am guessing that it has something to do with a little monkey that starts with T and ends with anner! Oh well, I guess it is easier to part with things when they are broken!

The kitchen chair... actually this thing is just old.

The rocking chair... another Tanner special.

I am getting depressed, we won't be talking about this anymore...

Kate is crawling, don't know if I have mentioned that, but she is crawling up the stairs, into drawers and cupboards, under stuff, and Tanner loves it. And she is so funny when you catch her because she gets a sneaky little look and tries to do at least one more thing before you get her. She is turning out more like Tanner daily, honestly, I am a little worried! So until I get a new camera or something... Sorry for the lack of pictures! (I will keep stealing the from other people!)
