Beautiful Sunday Morning




Well, with everyone home, things have been a bit chaotic, but I love having all my birdies back in their nest. (as my mom put it) :) Gideon is getting cuter by the day. He is 9 months old now...crawling everywhere, into everything and eating everything in sight! As I type, he is eating his waffles. Baby food is a thing of the past. He despises it! Last night he ate a chicken nugget! I am not quite sure how he manages to chew everything up being that he only has 2 bottom teeth! But, he finds a way! The kids laughed at me the other day...guess it is a bit funny looking back at it. We were sitting here eating dinner, talking, laughing...Gideon was eating a french fry...well, he started to choke and I was in the middle of a sentence and just reached over and without missing a beat, got the french fry out and still managed to finish my sentence like nothing had happened. I guess I've done it so many times before, I just don't have it in me to panic. (he wasn't choking bad, he was just doing the gagging thing) But the kids were cracking up...that's what happens after 8 kids, I guess.
OK...so unbelievably, Elliott will be THREE next month! Where did those 3 years go? Eric is getting him a hair cut today. Time for the curls to go. *sigh* I know they'll grow back, but I will miss them. (I'm so silly) I guess there isn't much more to report. I worked on photos all day yesterday and now have to upload them to my site. Some of them are real good (if I may say so) I was able to get some terrific pictures while at my mom's. I can't wait to share them. Kids are all good! Bo had a fever last night and a stuffy nose...so he caught something. He was up until 1 am feeling blaaaaaaa. His cheeks are still red this morning, but he seems to be feeling a bit better. (my world traveler) OK...time for some more coffee and to figure out what we are going to do today!
