I'm sure the longer I sit here the more things I'll think of. I realize how boring this is for everyone except me. To me it's hilarious, especially considering I have three SLEEPING kids right now (babysitting another kid this week and next) and I'm wasting time on the computer. Not to mention I haven't even cleaned up the kitchen, thought about supper, done all the basic stuff to keep the house running. Sigh. Ha ha, but I love it of course. I love lists and accomplishing things. I think now that I have it here I'll be a bit more motivated.
Last night I was wasting time here on the computer like usual, only this time it was looking at old pictures of the kids. It was SO funny watching Katelyn learn to talk and walk, you forget those little things so easily. Here's some newborn pictures of both kids. Big round of applause for anyone who can tell me which one is which. I think they look totally different but I'm interested to see what other people see. Mom, don't give it away if you figure it out right away, you're biased;-) Ryan, I realize how boring this post is, I'll try to think of something clever and interesting next time, but no promises.
