and i am back again.

i am trying to be a better blogger and post more pictures (since i know more about this laptop and have my picture uploader thingie).

we went to the city park today (where we had the boy's first birthday party) and the kids had fun. shorty girl was goofing around and totally bit the dust, but she fell on a soft surface so she is ok. it is amazing to see how both of them are growing and are able to climb, jump, and run so much more!

we are settled in here at grandma's. we are back on our routine and the kids are finally sleeping through the nite again. richard and i went out and bought new dishes for our new house which was a lot of fun! we bought them from khol's - they are clay and hand painted! pretty everything we have had before was either from a thrift store or stolen from friend's houses. (sorry guys) it's nice to be able to buy new stuff. (and i will be watching to see if anyone tries to steal my new plates.....)
