A few changes

Hey. Long time no see. My bad. Or good, depending on how you look at it.

This last month has been very eye-opening for me on several levels. Perhaps at some point I'll blog about that, but for today I just thought I would get back on the blog radar, with a few changes.

First, you'll notice there are no comments. I disabled that in order to keep me from checking 5 times a day to see if someone had commented on my brilliant blog posts. Second, I've deleted my sidebar of my friends' blogs. No offense indicated here, I just needed to make better use of my time than blog-surfing all day.

It's my hope that these simple changes will enable me to blog again without getting drawn into the things that were unhealthy in the way I was spending time on the computer.

And for your enjoyment, here are some recent pics of my miracles.

If you didn't already know it, Josiah is a diehard Beaver fan. He was asking all summer to see the Beaver football stadium. So when we were in Corvallis recently we drove onto campus, parked in a permit only spot with no permit, went on the field after having someone tell us we couldn't, (but they promptly left and there were NO signs that said to stay off the field!!) and played catch on the field at Reser stadium. He loved it!! Oh the things an upright woman will do for the children she loves!!!

Titus is my daredevil. It's funny, because I wouldn't have guessed it of him, but he's the one behind the boat telling Pop to go faster. He tried knee-boarding this summer, but did the classic submarine of not letting go of the rope when he fell. You should have seen his poor little face behind the wall of water as Pop couldn't get the boat stopped fast enough!! I was proud of him though, he got right back on, with Uncle Mark's help, and tried again.

And Abby girl, what can I say? She's got spunk. And if it's pink, she wants it. And if she can't have it, she thinks someone else should get it for her. :) We had a lot of fun in the water this summer. She reminds me of me - always running and splashing and not wanting to get out when it's time to go. A true water dog. In pink.
