STRESSED, but here's some pictures!


I apologize to anyone I haven't answered e-mails to or commented on their blog or facebook, etc. I have found that trying to work 40 hours a week while still taking care of your 2 kids under the age of 3 and keeping a tiny apartment that houses 4 people clean is VERY hard to do, and very stressful. I almost envy those moms that get to drop their kids off before work and not have to worry about them til they pick them up at the end of the work day.... almost. I still am very grateful to be able to be home and experience all the giggles and new steps in the kids life, but boy has it been hard trying to do it all. Managing will definitely be worth the free rent + salary until we get some medical bills paid, but I am not so sure how much longer we will be doing this after that. SO, until then, don't expect too many blog updates... I will try hard, especially for the grandparents, but try to cut me some slack if I lag. To make it easier on myself, I think I will just post pictures we have taken and save some time by not always writing a huge long explanation, like so:

Crab Water


Don't worry, we are still here! Life has been CRAZY busy to say the least.

Anyways, just thought I'd post a real quick update and say that after Sept. 15th things should start slowing down for us, hopefully, and I will start posting more often then! In the meantime, here are some pictures I took the other day of Jackson playing outside in the water fountain that is really close to where we live- our apartments we manage surround this little man-made lake and there is a fun water fountain to play in. Jackson calls it the crab water because it has all these hoses that shoot up and into the middle, which to him looks like a crab I guess. Anyways, here they are:
