We had relatives come to stay this last week. (One of the many reasons I have not been on my blog in a while).

Here we have the Farmer and his older brother.
They are being slightly goofy for the camera. There was a lot of this going on this weekend.
When the other brother is in the mix, it is one grand time!














Here they are being, slightly, a bit more, serious for the camera.




















These are the sons. Our boy is on the left. Cousin D is on the right.
These two are the only boys in the mix of with 9 girl cousins.















I just love this picture. Now that lil' cousin is old enough, the 2 boys had a fun time doing boy stuff around the house. Our Boy had a shadow and I think he liked it!

    Isn't it interesting when the older brother comes to visit? My husband's only living sibling is 15 years his senior. When he comes - well, they get goofy!

    And my boy can totally relate on the cousin front - he's the only male cousin on his Dad's side of the family. He feels mighty outnumbered when we're able to gather together! Although I think he's pretty relieved that the husbands of the older cousins are pretty cool guys who like to include him in their shenanigans! :)

    Cousin D just giggled when he saw the photo of the two boys. "How did you get that on the compouter?" was his question. I have yet to download vacation pics.

Success!

I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...

Life is full of Surprises

So here's one picture from my birthday that I *forgot* to put on that post last month. Surprise! I have had mixed feelings about this for some time. But after my first doctor's appointment this week, I am much more positive about this big change in our lives. We finally told our other 4 what was going on. Now they understand, maybe, a little bit more why Mom is always on the couch sleeping. And they are super excited. I don't think they remember what is was like 4 years ago when the youngest was born and made SO much noise... Of course, she still makes a lot of noise, just a different kind.

People Watching

I love people watching. It can be so fun. So enlightening. So ... interesting. Do you ever make up stories about people you see? Or is this just a quirk of mine? My brain has to have something to think about while I drive! So each day I go to pick up The Boy from school, I pass all kinds of people. Today I saw the Postman who looks kind of like Hulk Hogan. Long blonde hair, mustache, buff arms. I think he is actually H.H. living here in our town, posing as a mailman to get away from the paparazzi. And then there's The Runner. This guy is either punching the air while he runs - shirtless most of the time- or rockin on his iTunes. Either way he usually looks like he's high on something. I wonder what he is training for. Today I saw a new intriguing sight. I passed by a man, running down the street with a Macy's bag in his arm. He was dressed in a white t-shirt, and tan Carhartt's; looked like he just gotten off work; he was running towards the work-truck, the kind with...
