I realize that I haven't posted anything for a loooong time. So, since I"m sitting here and trying to multitask I figured what the heck. Here's what is up with the fam:

Elie is sick. Think she might have allergies, but we're not sure yet. What I am certain of, however, is that I am SICK AND TIRED of her being sick. And, I'm sick of doctors being incapable of doing anything preventitive to help her. It appears that all they can do is tell me that everything is fine, but if "condition changes or gets worse, feel free to bring her back in." Then what the heck is their job? I want someone who helps keep her healthy, not a drug peddler who gives me medicine after she's already sick. AGHHHHH

Emma- Love her. She is sooo dang smart.

Isaac-- Love him. He is smart, responsible, honest, cute, talented.... a girl's dream (in about 15 years)

Mark-- my love, my life, my best friend and my life-line amidst life's storm or just the craziness of everyday life.

Halloween Haunts and Spooks

Halloween. When did it get so crazy-hectic? When the kids were younger, all I remember was making sure the kids had a pumpkin bucket and a warm, cute costume. Now, it's "What time is your party again," and "Did you pick up some more candy," and "What do you mean you don't want to be a knight anymore?" We left the house at 8:43 a.m. on Halloween and got home well after dark. But, despite all the running, the kids had a great time, the booty was plentiful and I got some great pics. So bring on the season's "scary" haunts and spooks. I ain't scared of you, no sir.
