If anyone wants to see some of my photography...

Check out the link to Zazzle on left (under "This is how I entertain myself".) It's not going to be a huge money maker but maybe I can make some spare change selling some of my better shots.

I'd love to upgrade my camera and spend more time taking pictures but I can't justify the expense and time right now. Some day...

Happy Birthday, Crash

Well, our baby is 3 years old now. My oh my, how the time flies. As I update pics on our Photobucket account each month I move the ones from last year to the "year" folder and it's always a hoot to look at the girls and how they change each month/year. Campbell's still stubborn, funny, goofy, a challenge and all around handful. She was a wired 2 year old and there is not doubt that she'll be just as full of energy this year. And we love it. Sure, there are times that she drives us crazy but all that craziness is fun, fun, fun. Her personality is so different from Ellie. That's great. We love having kiddos who are unique and full of vigor and vim. But their differences are what make each of them so much of a joy to be around. Campbell gets to start pre-school this fall and she's looking forward to it. She tells us quite often that she's a big girl. Doggone it, she's starting to be a big girl instead of a toddler. But she'll always be our baby.

Nana and Papa Rausch came up for Campbell's birthday. They love seeing their granddaughters and the Monkey Twins love having them here too. Ellie, in particular, loves to sit with Nana and read books or tell stories or just watch a cartoon. Campbell is more likely to want to play, constantly. At the end of the day, I'm not sure who is more worn out, Nana and Papa or Funky and Crash. I know I'm ready for bed time when the clock strikes. Everybody gets a good night sleep, that's for sure.

We're doing a combo birthday party this weekend for the girls. We do a smaller party for each on their birthday and then one big one for friends and family. Ellie's thoroughly ready for it. She's been asking every day who's coming and how many more days til the party. We're still prepping for it but it should be plenty of fun and if I'm not too lazy, I'll get a post up on it within the next month!
