my my my...

i really should be ashamed of myself here. i am a complete disgrace to bloggers everywhere. it has been so long since i have posted. apologies. i'd like to blame it on the fact that Naomi & Levi have just been keeping me so incredibly busy. so we'll go with that.

we are well here in the Schlegel household. we've had some colds & mild flu, but nothing that has stuck around long. Peter has started wrestling once again, so we'll see what that season brings. Naomi is 2 going on 12. so that is a joy some days and not so much others. Levi is almost 9 months and is crawling and pulling himself up and getting into everything! he is very much boy - so much different than Naomi was. it's fun to see the two of them starting to enjoy playing together - though they certainly have their moments.

and as for me, well... i have been home for nearly a year now and i would say that i enjoy nearly every day. it is a larger test of patience and choosing battles than i think i ever would have imagined. but for now, i am quite content. i will do my best to be better at sharing some of our tidbits here.

today we spent much of the morning outside enjoying this amazing fall day! we played on the swing set. and Naomi & i carved a couple of pumpkins while Levi crawled around and tried to eat the leaves laying on the deck (and then his pumpkin). hope you're all enjoying the day!
