Mostly smiles this summer

The Blog...Revisited?

I've been contemplating starting the blog back up. I took a bit of a break if you didn't notice!
Summer flew by and we are entering fall with more responsibilities than a year ago, but the kids are getting bigger and my mind continues to swim with silly thoughts that I feel compelled to share on the Internet.
Perhaps I'll go private so I don't feel so inhibited....
Regardless, I think its time to get back to the blog. I'll do it for my People! (ha!!!)

Baby steps

I'm sitting here watching Berg take brave little steps around the porch. The walking skill seems to have really kicked in today. He's been taking steps since Easter when he spontaneously walked from me to his uncle Curtis, about 5 steps. Curtis, who loves to play with all the babies, was very proud to be the object of Berg's direction.

Since then the interest in walking has come and gone...until today. Today he has been taking off from the furniture toward other objects. At Silvi's school he launched from the picnic bench to where some kids were playing in the mud. Of course, nothing like some dirt and excitment to encourage the kid to go.

Silvi often calls to me to "Come see Berg walk" but its always been him walking hand in hand with her, which of course melts my heart, but not the sight I was planning on seeing when hearing the initial statement. Now I get to exclaim, "Come see Berg walk" as he sets out on the new adventure of Toddlerhood.

A mom can't help but be proud of her growing child!

Big ONE

Being one is lots of fun.

Accept when its not!

Happy Birthday Bergren!

You are the sweetest mama's boy a girl could have!

One for good measure...

I have not looked at a blog in about 2 months...mine included. My life has gone from wandering around trying to be productive to collapsing at the end of the night exhausted from all the days activities. It was hard for me to forsee the "busy" mom role, but its here now. I blame 4 days of preschool and 3 hour conference calls!

Anywhooo... I'll try to be back, if not for my blog nation but in an attempt to capture some sort of family history. In the meantime here are some pics for your viewing pleasure!

Check out those chompers!!!

Until next time.....
