How did this happen?

Most days I'm still trying to figure out how this happened?...well, I DO know how, but the part I'm still trying to fathom is that I have 3 little monkeys and they are growing rapidly.  I have so many sessions of bathtub photo shoots. Here is the most recent.  This is, after all, their favorite place to be and honestly the only time in any given day that they are contained in one place other than in their car seats. They are always up to something...that would be their Father's influence.  Bath time is always interesting!

I was reading my beautiful Cousin Jaime's blog today and she was apologizing for being about a month behind in her blogging with the holidays and all.  Well, I'm about 2 years behind...last 1/2 of my pregnancy + Kai now being 20 months.  I managed to make a post last March and at that time I sat down and made a list of 25 photo entries I wanted to post. I still have it somewhere in a drawer.  Our 2010 blog book was so beautiful and I cherish it and I am still in awe of the fact that I can document our lives and have a 12x12" bound book for every year that goes by sitting on the shelf when the kids have all grown and left the nest.  But that leaves 2011 and 2012 and a very daunting to do list that may require some alone time for this mama to focus.  I mentioned to Marlie that I might actually take a weekend and go away somewhere to get it done and she suggested daddy go instead.  I guess that pretty much sums it up.  These three need me and my goal for 2013 is to be more present and engaged with them.  Even though we spend literally every minute together I still don't think they get the most of me.  So I'm going to pat myself on the back for little victories like this blog post and get back to the  movie hour with HP and Kai.
