I got back on Facebook a few weeks ago (so far, so good) and haven't been as diligent about updating here every since. It's easier to just blurt out a sentence here and there rather than think up and construct an entire paragraph. Lazy.

I think the kids are calmer than usual now that I have no voice. They have to be very quiet in order to hear me and they whisper their responses.
I might be on to something here.
I mean, they're pretty calm kids to begin with but now this place is like a library ... shhhhh.


I'm headed out on a very slow, very short walk to the end of the sidewalk this morning. I just need some fresh air! Speaking of fresh air, several of our friends are getting together for what we're calling "A Day in the Woods" today. I've opted not to go after all. This laryngitis is dragging me down, man. Nate is going to go for a bit this afternoon with Mazie while Bjorn, Freya and I stay behind and take a nap. I'm super sad to miss out on this awesome fall-time fun, but such is life. I have cuddly things to attend to here at home anyway.
