Yep - Kyle tells me that I should make it official, so I have, indeed, given up laundry for Lent. It's very freeing. Although it means piles of laundry. Everywhere. I'm fine with that.
I've been terrible at updating this blog lately! I've got two videos that I'll post today. Sometime this week I will download the countless pictures I have on my camera. And, I've got some fabulous pictures of Graham at the beach to post - taken by one of my favorite people, Courtney Vogel. For those of you with access to Facebook, I've posted a link to some of the pictures. Kyle, Graham and I went to Nags Head with my college roommates for the weekend a couple weeks ago. We had such a fabulous time catching up, laughing, introducing all the newest kids to each other, but I must say life is definitely different these days! 16 adults and 12 children all under one roof. "Sharing" was also a theme of the weekend - almost everyone caught the same stomach bug. Luckily Graham and I were two of the few who lucked out - no stomach bug for us. Whew! Anyway, while we were down there, Courtney graciously took pictures of all the families. She's an incredible photographer! If you ever need to hire a photographer, I highly recommend her - http://www.courtneyvogelphotography.com/.
A Graham update - he's growing like a weed! We think he's between 15 and 16 pounds. He's talking ALL the time, giggling when we tickle him, waking up at 4:30 am again for a big feeding now....what happened to our nights?!, rolling over (twice), and wiggling everywhere. He makes us laugh all the time!
Update on my girls - I've been very worried all week for my sweet little Kona. We found a lump on her belly about a week and a half ago, and I've assumed the worst ever since then. And been rather sad. Lucky for us, Barrett was in town this past weekend and he was able to pull out part of the lump to look at it under a microscope. (Biopsy?) We haven't gotten the results back, yet but Barrett thinks the chances that it's a fatty tumor instead of a malignant tumor are high because of the "looks" of the stuff he pulled out. (How's that for medical terminology?!) If it's malignant, then we go to one of Barrett's partners who can do surgery. Good news - Kona seems completely oblivious to what's going on.
