Yes. Yes. Yes.

OK, that's hilarious. Let me know how the veggie talk goes. :-)

My girl is really something special!

Kara, I've read this twice and it made me laugh out loud both times. That little girl of yours has so much personality! Thanks for sharing.

Kara,
Once again you have struck a chord of special times tucked far back in my memory banks. Our Dad, Great Grandpa Uhl to Sophie, James and Owen, was gone a lot because of his job in the Air Force, but I do recall taking turns standing on his feet and dancing around the room to the music. We also liked playing "air plane" with Daddy lying on his back, balancing us on his feet (one at a time, of course) up in the air, wiggling and giggling to our heart's content.
It's great to create the memories you are with Andy and the kids and I know that you already appreciate the importance of spending that extra time with them, even when you are understandably tired from the day.
Enjoy these times, dear heart.
Love Aunt Cheryl

Kara, you don't have to feel guilty about scheming to get some time by yourself. No one questions how much you love your family or how much of yourself you willingly give to everyone. But, don't forget that your family wants everything you want for your kids for you. As the primary role model for your kids, you have to be happy and well adjusted for them to be happy and well adjusted. If that means you need an extra hour or two occasionally for yourself, grab them. We all want you to have them.

Kara, I have been loving the kindergarten stage! I, too, am extremely excited for the next few years and what they hold for our family.

I can relate as I use to pretend I was an ice skater and skated in my socks in my bedroom on the linoleum. She is one clever little girl!!

Oh my dear one. It only takes seconds! Three minutes was a bonus!

Honestly I'm with the boys on this one. :-)
Though, after a good laugh I would hand her a small broom while I held the dust pan.

My Gabby loves the moon too! We sing hello to it every day.

We experienced the same thing with Connor's Thomas tent. All the kids who come to visit seem to gravitate to it.

How precious. How do you keep a straight face when Sophie comes up with her Sophie-isms? She is incredible.

Love
Aunt Cheryl

This excellent. "I'm going to be that girl," makes me laugh more than it probably should.

The past two days Catherine has been starting sentences with " it appears that..." For example, this morning she said, "It appears that someone was watching a movie last night," when she turned on the t.v. and it was not on the cable.

Sophie on the snowy slide reminds me of how
her Pop Pop (at about the same age) would bundle up and swing~~no matter how deep the snow was.

I didn't know you had identical twin brothers, Karen! Or if I did, I've forgotten. Love your commentary re the last two photos. :)

Re: Owen & James’s Hospital Pictures

Kara Uhl — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:56:13 -0000

I, too, love that one!

Re: No One Is Sleeping

Kara Uhl — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:55:28 -0000

Any better yet? I though things were better and then I had a midnight tantrum last night ... times two. Sending good sleep thoughts your way!

Re: No One Is Sleeping

Kara Uhl — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:54:57 -0000

We do! Let's plan one soon.

Re: No One Is Sleeping

Kara Uhl — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:54:44 -0000

Thanks for the reminder, Aunt Cheryl, and I think you're right—those teenage years + worry will be much harder for me, I suspect.
