For my one noble follower I hope I make her day :)

Dakota with staticy hair on the trampoline..enjoying gorgeous fall weather!!

who's being silly??

burning of the "Love Shack"

before picture..it was an old house that wouldn't be lived in again
so we burned it down to clean up the lot. Fun for my hubby :)
our baby Rachelle at 10 months old

Ofcourse my pictures will be on top of this post and I don't know which ones I'm posting yet...but I guess I can tell you this one is the girls...and this one is the girls...and ohh...this one is of the girls..hehe...my how they are getting bigger...and..so..on..and..so..on :)
We are doing ok...I'll share alittle about what I've been up to..although its not much. My days are home with the girls mostly, a few trips into town for the odd reason. Although Tuesdays are a give-in since its our reading hour at the Library. Its nice to go to something that is for the girls although I benefit from it too by getting out of the house and seeing other moms. Another s-a-h mom and I drag our kiddos out for lunch and have a grand time..well I guess chasing kids and trying to get them to eat and fitting in broken conversation is your definition of grand, this is it. Any way its good.
Rachelle got all 4 top teeth in one week that was pretty big this last month..needless to say we've both been sleeping better :)
I love being a mom...well for most days :) My girls as we "speak" are playing house with their babies..they have given them bathes and now are being really really quiet while Rachelle sleeps, they are very good at it and if they aren't I pop in a movie that helps :)

Last weekend we went to Gr. Forks to have our Christmas pictures taken at Target. They were fun and the girls did well. We got a couple okay shots that will do for Christmas. I'm glad that's done. After the pictures I was able to do some Christmas shopping done and got it almost done. Guys are hard to buy for so I'm stumped for a little bit. I have another chance to finish this coming weekend and I will be very glad to have it done. This will be a first for me for I usually struggle to get it done a few days before Christmas. On Sunday we got up early again and made a mad dash to International falls to see Elise, Derek and family. I'm always glad for a chance to see my sister! It was special to see Rachel and talk baby with her along with Jenni, Keith,Elise, Derek, Darla and Sheldon..hehe...I always am amazed that some guys stick around and participate in the conversation. I always leave conversations like that wishing that I was more a fly on a log then sharing details that I wonder if anyone wants to know. But like all battle wounds its interesting to compare them :) We haven't had a busy weekend like this in a while, it was fun but exhausting. Nice to get back to routine.
I miss my old friends! Being without close friends makes me realize alot about myself, its not easy for me to make new friends or to keep them. I have to admit my faults...I hate not fitting in its hard on me. I feel left out and rejected then I take it personally...very crushing to me. Maybe you say get over it and keep trying... Why does that seem so hard to do?? I think back to my old friends and I am sorry that at sometime or other hurt them with my words or actions. My old friends were good to me...polite, kind and forgiving..something that I yet to learn and have to work on. I am sorry.
Well its getting close to lunch who knows when I will update again. I'll post a few pictures to keep you updated :)

so am I your faithful blog follower? I enjoyed the read and the pictures! and I know what you mean about "old" friends....the ones who really know you, etc. Like the old saying...."Make new friends, but keep the old. The one is silver and the other gold." I'm glad you're my friend. =) See you at Christmas?

Yeay! I was here and read it all. Great pics of your sweet little girls and it was fun to see you all in person finally! I hear you about fitting in and being in a new place. It takes a lot of time and can be really challenging to make new friends. Keep blogging!!

I was wondering about that one noble follower as well. I'm here! I'm always happy when you post pictures and updates since I see you so infrequently.

As you know, I'm getting ready to move and I'm already dreading the loneliness. I have been so blessed with friends like you and others these past ten years. Even though I'm moving "home", I don't know many people and am trying to be positive about the opportunity to make new friends, but know it will take time. See you at my wedding?! =)

Hey Melissa,
I'm here and I'm not to far away! It would be so nice to do that tea house get together, or if all your girls are along we could meet at my house. I know what you mean, it takes time to break into areas where people have been friends all of their lives. In some ways we never are really from here, right. That's okay because we're northern gals:-) I'd love to see your family again, and we haven't met Rochelle yet. Just to let you know though, we won't be here over Christmas, because we're heading "home" to Pennsylvania for Christmas. Notice I put home in quotations marks, that's because it is where dad and mom and most of my family are. I sometimes wonder where my home really is, but have come to the conclusion that for now, it's right here.

Kendra - I am planning to come to your wedding ..yay!!
Tammy b. - it would be fun to see you again sometime.
