From a visit of Kathy and her kids back in January 2001, making Emma four and Max almost two. And after looking at how cute the kids were, I suddenly noticed the actual room in the background behind Max. So THAT is what our house used to look like before we had kids! Ah, to remember the days when the TV room wasn't packed with toys. So long ago...Also here's two shots of my irises, which are blooming profusely in the back yard. The white and yellow bearded irises have joined the purple Dutch ones. I used to have a ton of purple bearded ones (everyones favorite) that had grown next to the house for who knows how long. I had to move them six or seven years ago when we had the foundation worked on, but I don't think they survived the transplant. Unfortunately I think they ended up in a spot that the soil washed out of, exposing the rhizomes (yes, I could have said "bulbs" but then figured someone would have corrected me). So if anyone has some purple ones they are dividing and want to share, please keep me in mind!

I am so ready to start weeding out plastic toys and well- all the crap.
I have a friend that is one step ahead of me (her youngest is 8) and her house looks so good.....
but of course the kiddos are worth it and the first two pictures did make me a little sad.
Remember when Emma was little and not a pre-teen???
Store those toys or risk hearing "I remember playing with those when I was little, why didn't you save them?" Meaning your grandkids will see and play with them again.
Um, did anyone else notice the ghost of Joey Genet on the TV behind Max?????
What a nice surprise to see those photos. I hardly ever see pictures of the kids that I didn't take.

Weird, especially since little Joey Genet would be showing up 9 months later...
