why do i wait so long

i have good intentions. i really do. to blog way. more. often. why don't i? why do i wait so long then have to decide between some times hundreds of (purely awesome of course) pictures? i don't know. i'm busy i guess. taking pictures maybe, but busy. sitting down at the computer is not what i want to do and the blogger app is great but it makes your photos huge and i like our blog to have a consistent look and it breaks that. so. here i am. randomly adding photos that are old. old is shorter when you have a baby because a month or two ago is a long time in their little life. oh well. here there are. first one is austin at the park. simply gorgeous. he is gorgeous.

this picture is a "classic" if you know me at all or knew me as a child. the other day i asked courtney to go get dressed herself. i know. she's almost five. but i still dress her every day. but this day i was busy, not blogging, but busy and when she came out i had a flashback, a tear and a chuckle. this was my attire from, oh, about age four to...twelve. i love her. love love love her.

ok. not the best picture ever. but it is the meaning of the picture some times. this is the box. the box of little books. austin's favorite toy. no. not the books. the box. at this time he would roll to where this box was, empty out the books and roll around with the box. he loves this box. if i need him to entertain himself, i give him this box. at least it's a cute box of bible stories, right?

this could quite possibly be my favorite picture yet. austin loves going in to wake sissy up for school. i'm not even joking. i get him and ask him if he wants to wake sissy up and he smiles every time. i usually lay him with her and he will eventually pull her hair but she is so sweet in the mornings and just nicely says 'stop austin, no no'. i don't know how i got this picture but it is perfect. 

and there is courtney. our simply beautifully sweet baby girl. this was just the other day before school. a time i thought she was crazy cute and had to snap a picture. paul thinks the sweater is silly. i believe his words were 'where is the rest of it'. gotta love him. it's cute. she kind of looks like she is marching but she has those light up sketchers on and we were trying to capture the entire moment. failed.

so. that's it. for now. oh my. i just remembered i have more to post. but i think i'll wait. maybe not so long this time though.
