Ok- maybe this will not be a noteworthy blog for some. But, those of you who are a mother, you will TOTALLY appreciate this. I have been really tired this week. I just started running after work again (and yes up at 0530) to walk Xena our boxer about 1 1/2-2 miles. I am toying with running a 5k Carlsbad race in April. The kids are doing it on Sat. and the adult race is Sunday. It is along the beach and really nice. But, ugh.. it's slow. The point? I am beat. We put the kids to bed at usual time, and Reilly went to her crib at about 1945. We are trying to give her at least a block of sleep not with us in our bed, but on her own. I read a little bit (another amazing feat post children. It was NOT a medical journal or for teaching) and went to bed. I then woke up in a panic last night.. it was quiet, there were no cries.. and it was almost 3am.. I has slept for 5 hours straight. The first time I have done this since Sept. 13 2009. The average length of sleep - 2 hrs if I am lucky. I panicked. Yes, I checked on all the kids. Yes, Reilly was in her crib sleeping. Whew.. Yes, I am afraid of what will happen tonight, and maybe it was just a fluke. She did wake up hungry about 30 min later. :) But, maybe there is hope I won't be exhausted forever? :)
While I will be the first to admit, I love ebay.. my hubby has found ebay to be just as much fun. He really got into the train kick after Zack's birthday. My garage could finally have a car in it, but no.. it has trains. There are more to be set up.. another box arrived.. I will post that soon.. Needless to say, he is the hit of the neighborhood!
My sister and Reilly.

Well- it was a long week and I am back to work this past Monday. That means, that I am sort of back into my routine. My sister and neice were here for the week and we had a blast. We went to Legoland and the zoo. I got to take great photos of them, and we had Quinn's third birthday here as well. So, I am working on my photos. I was a little to over zealous and took lots of RAW photos... and well, that means a lot of editing. So, I am going to start with this. Reilly is almost 6 months old. She has a huge facination with food and what we are eating, so we gently started rice cereal this past weekend. Just for an update, here are some photos of her. 
So, I am working on some photos that were requested of us. These are a blast from the past. I was like holy cow! They are scanned hence the quality, and no Kristen Bons did not take them. (unfortunately) but the bottom is Zack and Toby. Reilly looks just like Zack! Scary and the top one was a family photo 3 yrs ago! Emma is just a babe! Where does the time go??
