all five kids

A few months ago, someone asked us to send her a picture of all five kids together. We couldn't comply because we had not ONE picture of all five kids! Crazy. Justus was 8 months old and we had lots of pictures of different combos of the crew but none of all five.

While on a walk last month we took a few. They are not dressed exactly how I want, they are not all giving their best smile or anything but at least they are all in the picture! I guess it is a little indicative of life right now. We are enjoying one another; feeding, clothing & bathing the kids, reading and schooling, sometimes cleaning the house but peripheral things like getting a picture with everyone in it has been put aside for a while.

a rule to live by

At our house we really promote efficiency.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing in one trip.

We encourage creative application of this motto.

Simon Cowell would almost certainly call a post like this "indulgent nonesense" but I suppose that's probaby fine in a blog called righttomyopinion.

Next time I struggle with learning something new, I'll remember the brief time my buddy was learning how to crawl.
