yes, i'm still alive.

wow, 8 comments, maybe dixie's on to something with this whole "no posting" thing! no, seriously, i hated not to post, but life's been a bit insane for me lately. i'll quickly bring you up to speed.

first, a few days ago we had to have one of our dog's put to sleep. her name was abbie, and she was the first pet jason and i got together 10 years ago. so we are sad, but we're making it. ellie was sad also, and annie keeps talking about "when we go get her in puppy heaven". we are talking about getting a puppy, but not quite yet.

second, i've had some awful stomach bug that has come and gone and then came back with a vengence! it wasn't pretty, so i'll leave it at that. except to say that i think it's really gone now. let's hope!

third, i have been cleaning house (sorry celeste, i usually DO neglect it for blogging!), we had some friends over, and then we were hosting Father's Day lunch today.

and then, of course, there is all of the normal craziness! but don't worry, i'm back now! we had a wonderful father's day today. jason put on his coca-cola apron and grilled a TON of steaks for all the dad's and everyone else. some men might think that was too much work for him on father's day, but not jason! he loves to grill and use all his gadgets. so we grilled and visited and relaxed, and then after everyone left ,HE took the girls to the lake for a little bit! and left me at home alone with a sleeping baby and a quiet house! this is better than mother's day! it melts my heart to know that he wanted to spend this day with his girls. and it makes me so happy that he just loaded them up, and off they went!

Happy Father's day, to the man i have loved since i was 18. I love you more and more with each day and each child! (not that we need anymore!) You are a wonderful daddy to all 3 of our babies and a wonderful hubby to me!
