I'mmmmm Baaaaaaack!

Okay, I know I've been a terrible blogger lately... but, I had a terrible case of blogger's block. There's been lots going on, but then again there's been a lot of nothing going on too.

One great thing that has happened is this little guy.....

This is Jude Michael Perkins ... our new cousin. Isn't he sweet? Patti's really been into babies lately... she loves holding her new cousin.


Cal's been dressing up as a princess... he can stay in this dress all day. He begs and pleads to put it on every morning .... what do you do? One evening he picked up a sword and was chasing Patti around (wearing the princess dress).... Patti played along and screamed, "Oh no... a pirate!!" Cal quickly stopped in his tracks, got an angry look on his face, and replied, "I'm not a pirate!!!!! I'm a PRINCESS!!!"

Patti got sick one evening (throwing up, fever, etc.). She was so tired and so sad that she didn't feel good... it was hard for her to go to sleep. Daniel went in to try to comfort her.... he was gone for a long time, so I decided to peek in and check on them. It was so sweet.... I just had to get a picture. The room was dark - I had to turn on the hall light to be able to take the picture. Great flash, huh?


My picky-eater found a new favorite snack.... Jeh-woh.

We always love playing with our cousins..... I don't know how Chloe managed to talk Cal out of the princess dress.

Check out those muscles!

I was such a fabulous mom and wife this morning.... I made pancakes and sausage. The only reason that I finally blogged something was to toot my horn and share these cute pictures with you.
