i've almost forgotten

how to log into my blogspot.

'tis the season to be busy. and sick. and busy.

i'm pleased to report that business is going well... i have had 10 photo sessions over the last 6 weeks or so, and a steady set of 4 piano students each week, whom i just adore, so i will absolutely not complain.

jackson is doing so well at school. he never complains about going (at least 98% of the time), and has a few really good friends - who also love pokemon. good times. he's currently sporting a sweet haircut from the harkers island barber extraordaire, mr. paul wade, and could not be more of a stud muffin. i think he's grown about an inch this week. i feel like he has, anyway. ;)

brady got a haircut today, from mommy. he was a little less than well behaved, and kept saying "i don't like that this is taking so long!" as i gently replied, "but if you'll sit still and stop wiggling, i'll be done in one minute..." that didn't stop the wiggling, as you can imagine. even though he didn't earn a grab from the candy bowl atop the refrigerator (as we always do after a haircut with mommy with good behavior), he's still a big bowl of sugar, himself. after the lights go out, we can generally find brady nestled up in his bed surrounded by no less than 10-15 stuffed animals. some bigger than he is. each night when i do my 11:00ish check, before hitting the pillow myself, i uncover him from the rubble, situate him back on his "real" pillow at the head of the bed, and help the other members of the slumber party find a better resting spot at the foot of the bed, where no one is threatened by loss of oxygen, or even worse, waking up with a crink in the neck!

carter just got a haircut today too. cut most of those sweet little curls right off, but i know they'll grow back. they always do. on his head, at least. have i mentioned how entertained he is by the backyardigans, as of late!? seriously - the boy would watch 15 episodes a day, if i'd let him. mingled with one or two episodes of the wiggles and sesame street (for the love of sir elmo, mind you). i declare, i'd love to be the marketing genius (or at least be in his/her mind for a few moments) who comes up with such characters. aside from his love for all things tv, he's become a big fan of dum-dums lately. i think it started on the way out of our last doctor's appointment. i guess there are worse things than rotten baby teeth! LOL!

well, cyber friends and real life friends and family - i just wanted to post a quick little update to remove the guilt that i've been burdened with for the last couple weeks. HAHA! i have a feeling i'll be back sooner than later with something else not too important to share - but hopefully still worth jotting down for posterity! that's the goal. :)

adios.
