Yep, I said it. I need to get these pics blogged and so I'm just gonna go for it. Maybe this chore will help me to stay on task and keep this blog updated more regularly in the future. I mean, who wants to blog five months in one sitting? Technically I could blog even more than that, but I am just gonna go by my camera's current memory card and blog back through September. So sit tight and enjoy... or skip this post if you don't care :P It's all good.
September
Marah started kindergarten.
Jenna baked her brother's birthday cake.
I discovered she could use some anger management counseling.
Marah frosted the cake.
I let go of some perfectionism... no, really I fixed it later.
Alex loved his first Thomas toys.
I made a banner for Alex and Marah's party.
I also bought some overpriced toys for the cake.
Marah had her friend Mya over for the party.
She looked cute as usual.
Alex loved blowing out the candles.
Alex got some Toy Story matchbox cars. So cute.
My girl looked so old!
Marah was so excited to get the baby doll she had been wanting.
She also liked the cooking set from Nana and Papa.
Alex enjoyed it, too.

Marah lost both of her front teeth at the same time.
Whew! Okay, don't let me get that behind again! I need to be better about taking pictures again, too. I've really been bad about that the past few months. Now, on to the other things that need to get done. I had a very sick little girl on Sunday and she stayed home from school yesterday and so I am so behind on everything and I need to get back on track. Ready, set, go.
Ash, this was so fun to read and look at. I love the way you sprinkle humor in to your writing. You're really very good at it. Thanks for sharing the photos!
