Adam's Back!

By -
Adam just got back this morning from yet another LONG trip to Brazil and Chile. Everybody is excited when he comes back...it's always fun to have him back, but the question is...What did he bring us???? Almost every trip he takes to Brazil, brings me a new pair of shoes, and he has gotten soo good at picking out shoes for me.... He didn't let me down this time, and I have another very very cool pair of shoes! He usually brings Lily back some chocolate kitty tongues (not really, that's just the name) and Joey gets some bites of Adam's left over candy from the airplane ride. :)

Things happen fast around here...almost everytime Adam leaves for a trip, Joey or Lily have some sort of major milestone. This time I cut bangs on Lily for the first time!! Lily loves getting her hair cut and so it actually took three separate days worth of cutting her hair to get them how they are now....she keeps wanting to cut more off so she can get her hair done, but I have to put the stop on it before there are no bangs!! She looks adorable with them and tells me all the time how much she loes having bangs!!...as for Joey....he gave me a scare yesterday when he fell and hit his chin on the coffee table and was bleeding inside his mouth for a very long time...no worries though, just one of the many many cuts and bruises he has acquired during his first year! He usually says mama and dada but this week he also said 'Juice' and 'All done'!

It's been a while since I've written...sorry for the blog slacking (is that the technical term??)  I've been wanting to write for a while, but I've had severe case of blog-writers-block!  I'm just going to try and push through it though, thanks to all my supporters out there who have encouraged me (you know who you are!! :) ) Lily is so excited to wear all her new clothes she got from Auntie Heidi...Heidi picked up some amazing deals at the Children's Place outlet in WI Dells and Lily got about 5 new dresses and she changes outfits about 5 times a day so she can wear everything!  This is a picture of her modeling one of her dresses and showing off her artwork. You can see she really loves the dress... Speaking of artwork, while Lily was painting she said "I am an artist just like Auntie Chrissy!"  Watchout Chrissy, there might be some competition coming! :) Anyway, I will try and do better with updating...I promise!  Check back often!!

Another dress for Lily

I had a stack of pillow cases given to me today, so I couldn't resist trying to make Lily another dress...Lily can't have anything without fairies or princesses so this dress has fairy ribbon sewn at the bottom and tied around the waist (and yes, we are in Wisconsin where it is snowing out today, but Lily somehow is never cold!). To anyone out there who might be under the wrong impression that I am a good sewer, I will tell you again I am not... This will prove it... While I was sewing today on the sewing machine I actually sewed the needle right through my entire tip of my pointer finger!! ouch!!! Would a real sewer do something like that?? :) Luckily Lily was right there to get me a princess band-aid!

Although I have 5 kids under my roof today, somehow I am blogging?!?... I wanted to quick tell about our adventures and post some pictures today just in case Heidi happened to check!  Let me start with this...anyone who knows me knows one main fact about me and my kids...we have MAJOR sleep issues in this house!!!.. I have always looked at the Justus kids and known they are perfect sleepers...Heidi and Eric can take them anywhere and they sleep.  They go to bed somewhere between 7:00-8:00, and it seems for the most part sleep all night.  I have witnessed this anomaly on numerous occassions.  However,...my children do not.  I've always thought it was something in the genes, however after last night I realized kids who are around me don't go to sleep!!!  I started the 'going to bed' process at 7:00....I herded all 5 kids upstairs to get ready for bed (Joey was very resistant because he had just woken up 1/2 hour earlier from a nap!!...) Got the 2 boys down, 1...
