Numbers



I'm slow and behind on my blog. I don't want to be; in fact, I constantly compose posts in my head planning on them coming out and landing on the Internet. Alas, between fighting fatigue, depression, the housework war, the lack of time for myself and for my husband and I, AND taking care of my babies, I just haven't made time to write. 

Lemme catch you up. Since we need to cover about 7 months in one blog post, we need a theme or set of rules so I don't ramble or run out of steam. Oooh! Numbers! I love math. (I felt like such an outcast expressing that the other day at a Relief Society activity, but it is so true.) You'll catch onto and figure out my plan very quickly.

Vaterlaus family update:

  • Grace is 7 months old 
  • Starlet will turn 3 in 2 months 
  • Cool Apa and I celebrate our 4 year anniversary this week 
  • Cool Apa has 3 now church callings 
  • I teach 5 deacons and 1 beehive in Sunday school 
  • Grace has tried about 15 different foods 
  • Starlet has gone 0 weeks without asking to go to Grandma's house 
  • We hosted Grandpa Gnarly, Grandma Gracious and Cool Apa's two brothers for 8 days 
  • My brother got home from a 2 year mission to Tahiti 14 days ago 
  • I went to the temple for the first time in 18 months making the number of temples I've seen or been in around 18
  • Grace can get up on all 4 limbs
  • Cool Apa has been working at his job for 1 year 
  • We have paid off nearly 50% of our debt
  • Cool Apa turned 27! 

Cool! Good summary! Now for some pictures! 
All the Vaterlaus girls in their jammies! Starlet is so good at being disgusted at papparazi. 
Nothing is safe from Grace anymore. She is FAST.
I can't believe she fell asleep like this! 
Both my girls chomping on apples. 
I was taking pictures of Grace and Starlet wanted a turn. I love those smiley, twinkley eyes! 

"Sisters, sisters!"
