Kaylee is such a princess! Of course, she can be a total tomboy, too. I think she celebrates the best of both worlds. I think Pixar's new film "Brave" is going to be right up her alley.</div>

<br />
<br />FYI: I am not frustrated right now, nor have my husband or children done anything wrong. I'm just making an observation and expressing gratitude.

<br />Thank you for your time.</span>Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12341331386509266033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816059181830965205.post-49442929688322277892011-08-17T18:23:00.002-04:002011-08-17T18:27:00.106-04:00Jacob's DreamMy eldest son shared with me a dream he had about a month ago, in the midst of all of the ridiculous debt ceiling nonsense. He told me that in his dream, he and his friends managed to earn all of the money needed to pay off the national debt. They took the money to Washington and gave it to the government. But, instead of paying off the debt, Congress decided to spend that money on a monument to themselves.<div>

I remember this time last year, I <i>could not wait</i> for my children to get out of my house and back in the classroom. (In retrospect, that might have had something to do with the fact that it was one of the hottest, and most humid, summers on record in Georgia, and I was eight months pregnant). This year, however, things are a bit different.<div>
<br /></div><div>I've had a great summer with my kids. We've been to the gym, we've been swimming, we've been to baseball games (both t-ball and professional) and have been on several walks and hikes. I've really enjoyed spending time with the little munchkins. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>We've also had fun getting all of their school supplies together, going to before-school assessments and picking up lunch supplies. It seems that about this time of year, every year, I am stressed out of my tree trying to buy last minute erasers and school shoes. I'm so on top of things this year that I am sitting her, at the computer, blogging. I'm trying to invent things that need to be done. It feels good, yet at the same time, I'm starting to panic that I've forgotten something and that I am wasting time. I'm beginning to think that along with all of the great rewards of motherhood, we are burdened with a lot of unnecessary stress. Pft.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Well, I'll let you know how the first day goes. We're way excited, even the kids!</div>Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12341331386509266033noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816059181830965205.post-51957583915398037482011-05-03T13:37:00.002-04:002011-05-03T13:44:06.281-04:00A ChallengeJarum has issued me <i>A Challenge</i>: if I complete a 12-14 week exercise and nutrition program with him, he will get me a prize.<div><br /></div><div>I won't tell you what it is, but I will tell you this much:</div><div><br /></div><div>It starts with an i.</div><div><br /></div><div>And ends with a Pad.</div><div><br /></div><div>And looks like this:</div><a href="http://graygoo.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ac1fee3ee0ba0beb0fbad52e46af7a6d.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 392px; height: 580px;" src="http://graygoo.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ac1fee3ee0ba0beb0fbad52e46af7a6d.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><div>Keep me honest People!</div><div><br /></div>Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12341331386509266033noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816059181830965205.post-2629122646635990132011-04-29T21:47:00.007-04:002011-04-30T00:13:59.531-04:00Easter<div>What a whirlwind Easter weekend we had! First we had a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt on Saturday morning (<i>I</i> <i>know! A Saturday!</i>) where we got to run around in the falling snow, picking up eggs with hundreds of our closest friends. Then we had our own hunt at home. On Sunday we went to Church and I experienced probably one of the most spiritual Easters I've ever had.

They were so helpful with my last pregnancy and now they are helping me out while I am laid up in bed with what I can only assume is a type of the flu. Jacob made dinner for everyone and he and Kaylee are taking turns watching Isabelle. Kaylee even brought me up some cereal and juice so I wouldn't have to come down to the kitchen. She then hooked up the baby monitor in my room so that I could call down to the receiver in the living room if I needed something.<div><br /></div><div>I think I might keep these kids!</div>Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12341331386509266033noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816059181830965205.post-37238982448056219222011-02-16T18:08:00.003-05:002011-02-16T19:34:49.656-05:00A Blast From the PastEver since Isabelle was born people have been commenting on how much she looks like Josh. I would always agree, but most of the time I thought she looked just like Izzy. Then I came across <a href="http://naomiboyer.blogspot.com/2007/07/and-that-is-that.html">this old blog entry of when Josh started crawling</a>.<div><br /></div><div>Now I see what everyone is talking about.</div><div><br /></div><div>Keep in mind that Josh is only <i>one month older in those videos than Izzy is now</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Have a nice day.</div><div><br /></div><div>ETA a recent video of Isabelle from a few weeks ago.

Kimmy is a great friend and makes me laugh like nobody's business.
