sporadic.

I pretty much envy people who are able to juggle schoolwork and maintain a blog.

Me? I cain't.

I'm about eight weeks into this semester and I honestly believed I could be a creative bloggity blogger while still keeping up with my classes. Ha.

Wait. Hold up. I'm suspecting I don't have your whole undivided attention. I think you're still trying to figure out if the word 'cain't' was intentional or if that rebel 'i' tippy-toed in there by accident. Let me assure you, it was deliberately inserted to emphasize my poor multitasking abilities. Let's further stress this fact:

I cain't, cain't, cain't.

There. I feel better. :) In all honesty, school will just about squeeze any creative juices you might have had right out of you. So my posts for the next, ah, two months will probably be more sporadic than they already have been. I still want to share about our trip to Charleston, our family reunion in the mountains, and how much our dear little Muffle Puffles AJ Tiger John Wayne is growing.

But as of right now, I have a math test in the morning, so...goodnight, friends.

(An old photo I found of me and Elisabeth. We really haven't changed much since...we're both still short and I still don't enjoy being photographed.We finally did outgrow those footie pajamas though.)

The Quest has Ended

You'll either have two reactions to this post:

One, you'll be shocked as you remember a certain post that recently told of my obsession hope of finding a yellow springtime dress.

Or two, you could care less as that bit of info might have exited the back door of your mind five seconds after you clicked off and went your merry way. I hold neither reaction against you.

Anyway, our tale begins with Erin's loving grandmother finding her a beautiful spring dress.

It was a happy dress.

It was a sunshine-y dress.

It was a yellow dress.

"Ahhh! It's perfect!"

For the record, I am not bald in real-life and neither was the dress that short. It is fairly difficult for an artistic person to draw hair and objects in proportion. For an un-artistic person, it is virtually impossible.

Just thought you would like to know.

To continue our story--Erin was in a state of bliss. Her yellow dress had been found. Since a shopping trip had already been planned with her grandmother and sisters, however, she did go along, on the off chance she would spot another yellow dress whose style she possibly liked better.

At the mall, her squealing sisters made a run on the beautiful dresses, while our torn heroine looked on.

Okay, maybe she browsed the racks a little. With a bit of 'pretty dress' sparkle dust in her eyes.

Ahem. Yes, she merely looked on. And waited on her exuberant sisters to find the springtime dresses of their dreams.

Note: Said sisters are neither bald or losing their hair either. Please see previous statement above.

         Erin was scuffing her feet when--                          A glimmer of something--something pretty--caught her eye.

                                      What...                                                                         ...Could...it...be?

Our heroine was lost in a dreamy daze as she floated on air toward the rack where--

All thoughts of a yellow dress were forgotten in lieu of a pink and white dress that squealed her name.

Erin was in love.

The yellow dress was later exchanged and Erin hopes in her heart that it found a good home.

And Erin's twin did happen to find a yellow dress just as she set out to do, so we may all rejoice in her lack of fickleness.

The End

Goodness, that was some fine artwork, wasn't it? I think I'll give up my role as blogger and become a professional stick-figure illustrator. 

(Or not).

Update

We found out yesterday that Baby A is gone as well...we hurt very much, but know that God is in control. Thank you all so much for your prayers and messages...they really mean a lot and we appreciate it!! Please continue to keep our family in your prayers!
Thanks,
~Erin

Sadness

Please pray for our family as Baby B has passed away...and the doctor isn't sure if Baby A is alright or not. You can read more about it here at Mom's blog.
We are very sad as we were so excited about these babies (and they are babies no matter what some may think about life before birth).

Please, please pray that, Lord willing, Baby A will be alright!

On a happier note, today is Mom and Dad's 20th wedding anniversary...if you have a chance, stop by Mom's blog again and wish them a Happy Anniversary! Thanks! :)
