Cute kids, Gillian!! You undoubtedly have your hands full. Enjoy them all!! Good to "see" you again!
 
Great to here from you! I responded to your pm!
 
Baylor with pigtails is the cutest picture...what a beautiful family!! It is so nice to have you posting with us!

Ann S., is that one of YOUR birds on Grande's lucious head?!?! That is one time I wouldn't mind cleaning up bird poo!!!! Maybe a shower would be in order. :D
 
No, my birds are bigger. Although DH and I used to have 2 budgies like that one, and they, too, loved to sit on people's heads. Ours were pretty good about getting out of your hair before they pooped. But the little birds like that go every 5-10 minutes. (The smaller the bird, the more often they poop.) Luckily, the droppings are little teeny things that dry quickly and can just be brushed off. Our current birds, however, leave droppings like pigeons. :yuck:
 
Gillian...

Your kids are looking adorable! Glad to hear that you are doing well, keep up the good work with raising those cuties! Good luck with doing it alone on most days...hope DH gets to stay close to home soon! I can't imagine doing it without some sort of a break in the evenings! My hat goes off to you!

{{{HUGS}}}} girly! We sure miss you around here...glad you popped on to say hi and keep us updated! I can't believe it's almost been a year since Baylor was born! How quickly time flies...
 
Gillian, I was just wondering about you the other day. Your children are beautiful! Congrats to Alexia on her recitals. They are soooo cute.

Stay in touch.

Aww, thanks guys :)It is hard at night time because I am just worn out by the end of the day, but Chris worked so much last summer that I am kind of used to it. If I could do it last summer with a newborn then this summer should be a breeze, LOL!
