All Apologies and New Leaves

So...it's been a long time. Are we still friends? I understand I haven't really been contributing all that much to the relationship lately but...I do have a few excuses.
Here they are:
We moved.
We moved while I am pregnant.
We moved while I am 35, pregnant and wasted.
We moved while I am 35, pregnant, wasted, and have 3 very young and intense children.
We moved while I am 35, pregnant, wasted, have 3 very young intense children, and we left our computer and internet service here at our old home for the time being.
The truth is I do sneak over here every few days to pick up a few things and check my email and your blogs. I've left very few comments because my kids sit screaming in the car or watching some mind numbing movie while I try to do these things. Not today though, the weather is actually nice so they are playing in the only yard we have at the moment. We are not looking forward to starting the landscaping process all over again.

Well, we've been in our new home for almost 3 weeks now, so I have a little pictorial of my favorite parts.
First things first. The front door. It is very red. Remember the name of the paint is Mickey's pants, as in Mickey Mouse. I love it, but I've been receiving some negative feedback about it. The direct TV guy came to the door and asked, "Did you pick this?". I said, "Yes, and I love it".
Anyway, what do you think?



One of the things I love about the home is all the natural light. Our main floor is pretty well lit from sunrise to sunset.












I love my range and back splash. It just may be my favorite part of the home.



I also love the island. It is authentic looking and it is large.



This is where you will find me, sitting. Sweep-sit-mop-sit-laundry-sit-dust-sit-eat a cinnamon bear-sit.



The kids' play area is such a pretty spot. It is sunny and happy.



The girls spend a lot of time here.



Abram can usually be found trailing the girls or me, whichever seems more exciting.



I've had a sort of break through since my computer has been at this house. I used the computer and internet too much. I sure get a lot done without it at my fingertips. But, in defense of my old life, I am working harder to be more organized and to stay on top of things in our new home (we will see how long that lasts). But I also miss my internet very much. I miss reading blogs, being able to find practically anything I want within seconds, and most of all, the connection to the world and all of you.
I will hopefully be able to be connected very soon, thank you for standing by.
