I'm still around!

Hi!
Sorry for the lack of updates. I have just been so caught up with trying to make it through the necessities each day that everything else has been shoved to the side. . . Sorry! I won't promise it won't happen again though because I don't see anything changing in the near future.

School has been crazy busy. Its hard to get everything done between the kids bedtime and before I become too exhausted to function properly let alone read 3 chapters of Cultural Anthropology and 4 chapters of US History! Elijah hasn't been falling asleep until nearly 10 pm and I usually try to get myself into bed by 2 am since he normally wakes up for the day around 5:30-6 am!!!! Ughh! So, that doesn't give me much time to do anything but the most pressing homework. The poor house is looking worse and worse! Its so hard not to let it bother me but school is more important!

Not much else is going on. . .

Guess who snuck out of his room in the wee hours of the morning:

Yes, thats all my flax seed, wheat germ, almond flavoring, and various other ingredients all dumped and ruined! Whatever is all was must have been a bad combination because it stunk!

Eli chasing me with grass!

"What do you want?"

Its nearly impossible to get a good pic of the boys together!

Here Elijah is looking, Sam is not.

Sammy is looking AND smiling but Eli is not (he was actually trying to get the chap stick back from Sammy).

Here they are both looking at the camera but do they look happy? NO!
(Eli got his chap stick back and resumes sucking it out and eating it)

Eli finally has enough and books it outta there!

OMG!!!!!
They are both looking AND smiling!!!!! (Sort of. . .)

Too Fast!

I had the awesome opportunity of seeing my parents for the first time since January! If you are not aware, they are missionaries to Kosova. Dad had to come home for some meetings in Chicago and Mom was able to join him! Mom got into town last Thursday and Dad went to his meetings then joined us on Saturday. Sadly, they were only able to visit through Tuesday! It was a whirlwind of a visit but it was SOOOOOOOOOO nice to see them and visit with them again! They got to get to know the kiddo's a little better (Sammy was only a newborn last time they saw him) and the kiddo's got to know their amazing grandparents a little better!
I am sad they had to leave so soon but so thankful I was able to see, hear, and touch them all at the same time again! I adore my parents! They are completely amazing (now if we could only convince them to be missionaries here. . . )!

Awww! I'm going to get this one printed off to hang by Eli's bed! :)

Mom and Sammy (yes, Sammy likes being upside down!)

Mom playing with Elijah and Sam!

Dad was working on a project most of the time he was here but we still enjoyed having him around!
