As I am sitting here(at midnight)blog stalking, waiting for my (what feels like) millionth batch of canning, and missing Neil who is working in Utah, I have made a shocking discovery. IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER THREE WEEKS SINCE AN UPDATE! So here it goes. Due to our recent loss of a camera (thanks to little miss Avery), and the misplacement of Mom's camera chord. I will just have to jot down a few of my thoughts.

I am not going to lie, I have been a little melancholy (is that a word) lately. It seems that life has taken on a whole new phase for me. I took this little guy to kindergarten for the very first time. It was a little overwhelming as he walked into the room without even looking back. No need for his mom anymore. I was half proud and half heart broken. Sad that Nic was not there to carry on with me about how cute he was, and very grateful that I could go home and tell Neil all about it.

And it sure didn't help that this little lady went off to college on the same day. Who is going to bring me Diet Coke at midnight now Carl? I sure am missing you! Come home soon! (and maybe bring that crazy sister of ours with you)

I am a little sad to see them both grow up, and excited to see what they will do next. And hopefully I can get a new camera soon so I can put up some current pics. That little red headed baby of mine is getting cuter by the day, and his dimples are just getting deeper and deeper.

Since my poor camera was broken right before the trip here are a few random photos I stole off of Che's blog for you all to get a little preview! (sorry to those of you that read both of our blogs)

The trip was so much fun, and thankfully the babies were all good for most of the trip. We were quite a sight to see though. We were asked more times than I can count if they were triplets. People just didn't want to believe that every one of us young girls had a baby. When I told them I actually had three that just sent them whirling. I guess they aren't used to how us Mormon girls operate, but we did fit right on in with the Amish :)

Here we are the four amigos having a little afternoon sampling of Mexican food before touring the library of Congress. Which turned into a tour of three babies screaming, and then a run in the rain. Only to find out later that there was an under ground tunnel we could have used!


Me and Che in front of the Amish village.


Oh what cute fruit.


And here you have the three babies shoved in the back seat of the car. Which left the front seat for the four of us.

I will post more pics as they are sent to me (or as I can still them off the other blogs)
Thanks Che (Dodi) for letting us come. It was a blast as usual. Love you
