tiiiiiiiiiiiiired, but well

Okay, here they are. Like 200 mostly unedited pictures from the last two months- which have feasibly been the most crazy of my adult life. Well... well, yeah! Some are from our last days in Santa Rosa at Howarth Park after Randal's surgery, then from our roadtrip, then to the RAD tours of Salem, water fights at Kirsten's, mini-golfing in Md, some house pics from before we moved in, pictures of the park near where Randal's boat (ship!) docks... whew! I tried to at least label them so they're not TOO confusing. Perhaps I'll get them cropped and edited someday and write more than a little blurb, but tonight, I've actually spoken to most of you who will read this within the last 48 hours, so I'm doing pretty well. We love it here, love the house, love the weather (including the crazy thunderstorms, but in a respectful-stay-the-hell-inside sort of way) and Randal's unit is within walking distance. Woo! I've joined a mom's group to try and meet some new folks, though there are a lot in our neighborhood, too. Annika is signing up a storm -so awesome!- and the boys have made fast friends with the neighborkids. Holy crap. I'm going to fall over. But first Randal is going to feed me. When I'm awake someday I'm going to try an entry in phonetic Bostonian- THAT should be fun! =] I hope you all are well, I apologize for the lack of picture quality, but the sheer mass should make up for something!

Love and hugs to everyone...

omigosh....I loved every single one of those pictures....especially the one that says "hi mom!"  :-)  The kids have gotten so much bigger in the short time you've been gone.  *sigh*....I love and miss you guys sooooo much!!  Thank you for putting up the pictures.  That was a little bit of heaven scrolling thru them.
