Hi?

So, I decided to make it a good 4 months since the last post. Just to see how many family members would harass us. I had to be strong. But it was great to look at everyone else's blog in the meanwhile, and wonder when something would happen in our lives... It's been so long, I now hate Oatmeal Squares.

Eric turned 3 in dentalstudent years and 28 in regular people years on April 24th and had the sorriest birthday week ever. I shame the birthday week tradition. He had finals and I had no excuse. I did give him a uber-cool U2 book that he was quite surprised by and quoted Bono in one of his lessons at church. But that was just one of the days and there are supposed to be 7 days of celebration. Oh, yeah we went to dinner on his birthday, too.

I went to church girl's camp as nurse in June and got to be a teenager again - though I don't condone teen pregnancy. The Marjeanator got to come watch Davis while I was gone and got to be a tired mother of a toddler again.

We all went to the Texas coast to be with my parents. Davis went nuts for the beach. As in chasing waves without caution and sticking bananas in the sand. You gotta be nuts to still want to eat a sandy banana. Many beautiful moon lit walks and sandy diapers and we were all spent at the end of each day.

Davis has been kissing again. Actually, he just takes the sides of my head and mashes his face against mine. It kind of hurts and sometimes it gets a little intense (headbutting, grabbing my neck and sticking thumbs into the carotid arteries...). But it's sweet pain. We don't know where he gets his passion - Eric and I must be keeping the romance alive...

Congratulations!!! I have also been on the edge of my seat waiting for a post ... of course, it is no wonder you don't feel like posting. I can do the math ... you've spent the last 4 months pregnant! Hopefully not too sick? :)

So nice to have you back to fill a 4 month gap. The slide show captions are great. The only thing that could be better would be to have more, more, more.

Yay for girls! And you were cleaning my townhouse while you were pregnant! May blessings pour even faster upon you for that one! And BONUS: you'll get your kid in before the end of the tax year! Woo hoo! Hooray for kids. Send the girl vibes our way would you? Aby Runyan, already did! I know ours won't be as close together this time, but maybe we could still have girl pregnancies together. Congrats and good luck!
