I’m Ba-ack!

Hello Hello Hello!! Did ya miss me? Goodness I feel like I am so out of the blogging loop! We left a week ago this past Friday for Kansas and just got home late last night! Well, Sunday night that is. Time is running together as it is 2:15 AM on Tuesday as I sit here typing! Yikes! I’ll pay tomorrow, believe me. I have no idea what is “wrong” with me tonight but I can NOT sleep! One would think I would be exhausted after being gone for days and days and then coming home and having to unpack and get everything put away. It only makes since that I should be sound asleep at this crazy hour, but for some reason my mind simply will not shut off!

Anyway, I have a bazillion things to get done all of a sudden it seems! That is probably a large part of my no sleeping issue tonight! Gentry’s big bash is in less than two weeks and although I have done a great deal of the prep work already, there are still several projects I want to complete! Oh, and then there are the 1274 pictures I took while we were gone that I need to sift through again. And yes that is the actual, real life number. Ay, ay, ay!! I deleted the obviously bad ones on the camera during our countless hours in the car, but I need to nix some more now that I can see them on the screen and then edit a whole lotta of ‘em! And then just life in general. My internet hiatus {other than Tweeting from my phone and checking a couple of blogs a couple of times while we were gone} did us all good and my goal is to keep off the computer pretty much all day while the kids are up and moving! If they nap I’ll peek in and of course I’ll check my email from time to time throughout the day, but it was nice to step away and have the chance to really re-evaluate!

A bit of randomness:

I replied to a ton of emails tonight but if you sent one and I didn’t respond, write me back. I have two different email accounts and was checking them both while we were out of town and if for some reason yours got lost in the shuffle, I’m sorry! And I am also sorry that most of my responses to you sweet blog readers were so short! That is really not typical of me at all {just ask my husband!!}, but I guess I am feeling a bit frazzled right now and thought that a short response was better than none!

Yes, I am still doing my “sweet giveaway.” I was trying super hard to get it ready to go before we left but it obviously just did not happen. It will though so don’t fret!

I also have an entire post typed up on Huntler’s Barnyard Bash but need to fill in some details before I publish it. That too will happen.

I took Gentry’s three year portraits while we were back home and OH.MY.GOSH. did I ever get some keepers! This is just the TINIEST little sneak peek of our trip! I have SOOOOO much to share but considering it is now 2:40 AM, I am going to wrap this up and try to get some sleep before my favorite little people wake up!

And the four cousins!! We had SO much fun the night we took these! Once I started looking at them on the camera I was kicking myself for not putting shorts on Gentry, but then I thought about it a little more and realized that this is her. Fashion diva. LOVE these little ones to pieces!

    Good to have you back! I love the pics of the kids. And I like that Gentry stands out from the crowd! It makes the image more interesting that way I think.

    Welcome back! I love the last photo and wouldn’t have changed a thing! It’s my favorite :)

    What is the “sweet giveaway”? Does it have anything to do with those adorable party favors and decorations for your girls’ upcoming party? :)
