catchin up

Sorry I haven't been around. Jess left town for a week and i got sick. And sicker. So I've mostly been managing to make it through the day and waste a lot of time staring into Internet oblivion. I thought since I can't really speak right now I could type--I have so many thoughts going through my head right now I would love to get out! But, I think my fingers have a cold, too. Cause they're too tired to type. Just point, click, point, click through etsy and facebook. As I looked through pictures tonight, I realized I had TONS of blog worthy photos that somehow never got published, so tonight is a review of

"THE BLOGS THAT ALMOST DIED IN MY HEAD"

SEPTEMBER: I don't think you ever got to see Sam playing soccer:

Josiah wants to do EVERYTHING like his big siblings. So he was THRILLED to get this backpack from another sweet Josiah at our church who had waited for years for a Josiah to receive all his monogrammed goodies. We happily oblige!

speaking of Si, here's a HI LARIOUS story for you (pardon me if you've heard me tell it, but now you get visuals):

take this naked booty of a puzzle loving toddler:

and this beloved puzzle of Jesus's life:

and you get the line: "Mom, come here. I peed on God."

I bet some of you are peeing your pants right now aren't you? Not yet, well, check this one out:
Josiah's out of the tub, and tells Jess he's cold. Some people might decide to dress him. Others might get the packaging tape out and run it around him a few times and then look at his wife and say "What? He was cold. I fixed it."

And bloggers take a picture first, then yell.
You'd think I'd learn, but the other night he helped get kids ready for bed by dressing Si in a halloween lion's costume. It really is funny. When you're not so tired. Jess and Si are quite a pair.

What about Addie. Adeline gets a lot of face time on the blog. But here are a few must-sees.

A funny face for Aunt Alyse

Adeline Louise was named after her Grandpa Louis Swinger. Here they meet for the first time.


I just love this picture of me and my girl.

I didn't find a lot of unblogged Ella Rose pictures. Here's one of her pre-K class on a field trip:

(Si's in there too)

This is an oldie of us dancing at Dave and Esther's wedding. Ella and Sam had a BLAST.

There. Loose ends tied up. Now to my bed.
