Ups and Downs

We've been having a few rough patches with all the illnesses and grouchiness, but it's worth celebrating that February, the longest short month is over and we are welcoming the spring and summer. My kids bring me joy and laughter every day but sometimes (too much lately) they can bring out the worst in me. Still, it's more up than down. Oh sh*t, I think I might be the Rush Limbaugh of Moms! At least they'll know my craziness and not a stranger's.

These pics are ones Daddy took, making Baby E laugh. They aren't the most becoming photos of her, but they sure make me smile. The year between age one and two is truly magical. She's such a hoot!
