Keep me responsible, be it a light or heavy load.

I hope this post will appease both my Godmother and Kim (and no, I cannot do a meme)!
My days are so full of children, church, freezer meals, and the occasional Mike's Hard Cranberry-Lemonade, there isn't much time for anything else. We have added so many new things to our home and family in the last month that my head is swimming:

1. New ENORMOUS wooden plaything in the backyard. The thing is bigger than our first apartment. Thanks to the Grandparents Russell for making that happen. Pictures to come.

2. Two HUGE picnic tables w/ umbrellas....enough room for ALL of us to sit down to dinner. Our backyard now looks like a bona-fide park. Thanks to Miss Anon. for the picnic tables.

3. Another part-time son! My cousin and her son, Johanna and Josiah, moved here from California this month. Their apartment is just a hop, skip, and a jump from us. We are thrilled to be having Josiah here most days. He is four years old(almost five) and has been a delight. He still dresses so "California" but he's just as cute as he can be! Now if I could just get him to eat my guacamole...
We are enjoying getting to know both of them better....they will be SPURS fans soon, I am sure of it. Bless their hearts, they think they are lakers fans!

4. A part-time dog! Josiah's wiener-dog, Titus comes to stay w/ us when he does. After we explained to Luther that Titus wasn't a rat he had to kill, they have been good buddies. I thought it might help Luther fuss less but now they just fuss together.

5. WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS!!! GO SPURS GO!!!
Yes, I am one of those freaky people that sleeps in a SPURS t-shirt, wears a pink SPURS cap, and has a SPURS antenna flag, sticker, AND license plate cover on my van....because the SPURS need me, y'all!
Excuse me while I go drink my Dr. Pepper encased in my SPURS neoprene bottle cover.






This is Sam, meeting his kin for the first time.

Is it me, or did Nathan make those same faces Tim is making...only ten years ago?

Dad, I was just going to say that! Boys are so strange. Love the pics, Aub. And I wish we could come have dinner in your backyard.

Great pictures! Glad to know that all is going well :-) We hope to make it there sometime this year after the baby is born, so we'll see how that all works out!

I was about to point out that not only is He risen/risen indeed, but that He'd already gone back to prepare a place for us and made sure the Holy Spirit had wrecked the place where the apostles were...and you hadn't updated. I mean, c'mon, I saw your post a few posts back - you're not busy - what gives?? HA! BTW, isn't Josh strong enough to hold all the kids on the pyramid himself?? Miss you. I want to come to dinner in your back yard.

You're the woman Aubrey! Great pics of all the kids!

BTW, don't count on Johanna becoming a Spurs fan anytime soon! After nearly eight years of living here, we're still Kings fans, although, the Spurs are growing on us! Still, our loyalties belong to the Kings....sorry! I know......bless our hearts!!! ;-)

Can't wait to see ya!
