Calmly Chaotic

I don't even really have anything more to say than that.

teething is the devil.

it really is.

what a cruel, harsh way to spend your day.  having some sharp object ripping through your tender gums.

A couple of you asked if we were camping when we took the pictures from my last post ... well we weren't... but we will be soon.  I can't wait.  Last summer I was too huge to camp and I was really missing it.   I did of course have some visions of us camping soon after the girls were born b…
