There is something completely incredible about having a 2GB XD card for your digital camera. The freedom in carrying only one card (in your camera, no less), never having to "make room" for pictures, etc is incomparable.
The downside of such a marvel, though, is certainly the fact that you never have to "make room" for pictures.... thereby effectively killing any motivation to get your pictures off the camera to share with the world.
In the beginning of September, I was embarrassed to be going back to Disney World having not taken a single picture from my previous WDW trip off of the card. It became my goal to edit and upload all the May 2007 pictures before leaving -- the fruits of labor which you have obviously been blessed with, if you've clicked on the link to the side of this little entry ;)
It was at this point that I swore I would never procrastinate so horribly again, because it made the photo-getting process such a chore, instead of a joy. Hold that thought.
There are certainly a boatload of obvious downfalls to being sick as a dog, in this, my 12th week of pregnancy. I lament to Kyle as he is on call that I am a "worthless piece of crap" today, because when I'm not in the bathroom throwing up I feel like I've been hit by a truck. There is, however, one upside to this day. I can't get motivated to do ANYTHING around the house, so I fill my time on the computer for the day, and swear that tomorrow will be more productive.
So, here I sit, 2 days shy of 2008, and I just finished getting the pictures off of the card from September 2007. 2 Disney trips ago. Shame!
What's worse, is that in doing so, I realized I must have skipped several sets of pictures in trying to accomplish my poorly defined September Goal.... there are still pictures (and yes, even STILL) from July! Sheesh!
Some day you might see pictures that aren't several months old. Until then, enjoy these pictures from September. Who knows, maybe by the time the babies graduate from high school I will have pictures from their birth to share in some sort of creative montage spanning 18 years.

Twice blest...
So I have felt guilty for a while now, thinking I needed to pop on here and give some sort of valid excuse for being so bad at updating this blog. I put that thought out of my head. Then, I felt really guilty for - for the first time since I could write, as far as I know - not sending out Christmas cards this year. I swear, I'm going to send SOMETHING out. It just might be a bit after Christmas, and it might be somewhat generic. (Note to self: After thinking of this idea, it would have been wise to simply buy the materials to send out said "something" after Christmas when it is on clearance. Alas, my brain isn't that sharp these days and I have already paid full price for the supplies. See, don't you feel well loved now? ;) ).
I thought and I thought, and I put off this post for a very long time. The things I want to share are so much bigger than my words are going to do justice right now. I wanted to post just the right thing, make it either heartfelt and gut-wrenchingly emotional, or so cute you want to come right to Ohio just so you can admire my cuteness.
I put that idea out of my head, too, when I couldn't come up with a darn thing. So that being said, I promise (and I don't do that often!) that I will have more heartfelt, thoughtful and/or thought-provoking posts in the future. Until then, though, let me leave you with this -- my "valid excuse".
Just so you know, those feet do not belong to my children. They do not, in fact, belong to any children I know personally. My children's feet are still somewhat webbed and just a few millimeters long, but - God willing - they will be just as cute!
That's right, we're expecting .... twins! Some of you know the journey we have been on thus far, many of you do not. Please continue to keep us -- all 4 of us -- in your thoughts and prayers. The last year has been a trying one, a devastating one, and now an incredibly joyous one.... but we are far from holding our precious miracles in our arms.
I swear, I'll post more later. For now, Kyle is calling with dinner -- and given that I'm not nauseated for the tiniest of windows right now, I should try and eat something ;)
Take care!
