"Do not yield to discouragement in the face of difficulties and do not abandon yourselves to false solutions which often seem the easiest way to overcome problems. Do not be afraid to make a commitment, to face hard work and sacrifice, to choose the paths that demand fidelity and constancy, humility and dedication. Be confident in your youth and its profound desires for happiness, truth, beauty and genuine love! Live fully this time in your life so rich and so full of enthusiasm."
"Let us look with greater hope to the future; let us encourage one another on our journey."
~ Papa Benedict XVI

Raise your hand if you're waiting for photos...
Ok. put your hands down! ; )

So now, Blogger has changed things on the posting/creating end of things, though you don't see it on the blog side...and i need to figure out this whole mess! Why do they change things that work?  Why can't they just leave me in peace?  i like peace...and quiet - anyone know where i can find some?

We're still here...

First
Happy Birthday T-bot! ; )

Now...
sorry we have been MIA - we have had a real problem with computers lately.  I (yes, I) dropped our working laptop (which happens to be my husband's) and since then things have not been pretty.  We manage with the kids' desk top but still....
we have lost stuff again - yes, i know...back it up! - but most was able to be saved. 

We have been busy here with baby (5 mos now!) and school, legos, and life.  Thanks for checking in!
