Please Pray for Amy and baby boy Barry

She’s got the misfortune of having me as her only visiting teacher. She has wonderful friends who leave me crumbs to do. She’s also my neighbor and my friend.
Oh, Please please pray for her.
Hi, This is Katelyn. My name has a K in it. I am playing with legos with my sister and my animals. A few lots of minutes later my best friend came to MY house.
This fun summer day, we had our friends over. Mommy is friends with Eleanor's mom. Alex and Emily play with Eleanor's siblings. And Mark Runs and fetches, like a dog. This amuses everyone. Right now we have two pretty princesses who are swinging. Next…
Next up: Emily about to be a Spanish dancer; E as Ariel the Mermaid; Kate as a go-go dancer*; P contemplating being a cheetah; Alex working on his “skater kool” outfit. Playing with the dress up box outside is more fun. I don’t know why they skipped over the Sheppard costume from Christmas, or the Crusades costume. Heck, even army and police hats and we could have danced YMCA**
It was a fun day. I love my friends. Love, Katelyn Bye-Bye!
*go-go, as is dance as fast as you can go-go before that size 10 dance outfit goes off of your body.
**Rachel is playing catch up with blogs, and this was a photo from early July, way before she was sliced and diced.
…or maybe I’m becoming a geek. The last two free company shirts Grant brought home were pretty classy.
So cool that I took a photo for you.
Colors just perfect that I had him bring home an extra one for my Dad.
And one for me.
Which leads me to believe I have morphed into a geek.
So, just thought I'd share this with the world wide web. Since my neighbors already saw. More proof that I am the neighborhood crazy lady
Wednesday night. Two weeks ago. 8pm. My two little kids were fussing beyond human toleration.
So what does the neighborhood crazy lady do?
Hmm..she's still wearing the same thing she woke up on. T-shirt. And added a bathrobe for the family.
Fussy baby is naked. Except for a diaper. He's very warm inside Mom's bathrobe. And with the belt tied tight, it's almost like a baby sling.
Fussy toddler is still wearing her PJ's. A shirt and a diaper.
No one has brushed their bedhead.
And yes, it really is 8 o'clock at night.
Mom and toddler put on boots. Cause when it's cold outside, t-shirt and boots are the way to go. Baby tucked in robe.
Now is the perfect time to leave the house, walk down the street, and get the mail.
Not crazy enough? We sang preschool songs, and danced.
And were happy. Like this:
We were happy. For a long moment. And then we came back into the house and it was all over.
And it felt good. I can't wait for happy to come back for longer.
p.s. I'm glad Kate got the Zmolek cheekbones. (photo from Sunday)
He lives in the living room (wood floors), on an old blanket and pillow.
Mark thinking he's in control of the leash
Katelyn, barking and shaking like the cold puppy
Mark and Katelyn stick their fingers in to compete for puppy licks. They loved it on the first day....now two weeks later, not so much!
Emily plays and runs with the puppy, when she will put him down.
Alex even puts up with the puppy's natural play activities.
So, do you still think we're crazy for getting a new puppy with all the health problems on top of caring for 2 kids still in diapers?

That's why we didn't do it.
This is Nanny Julie, the puppy's real mom!
His name is Havoc. He's a French/English Bull Dog. He was 8 weeks old when Julie got him, and he started coming to work with her.
And he's incredibly cute and fun for the 8 hours he's with us.
And he's even cuter at night when he cries at Julie's house and not ours!
And yes, I am allergic to dogs. But he's so cute, it's therapeutic. So I just take extra Benadryl to deal with it. Besides, he's so tiny, and shedding so tiny (for now)
