Where do we start with the catch up

Time flies when you're having fun...and time flies when you have three kids (5, 3, and 2). Life becomes extra exhausting when there are preschool cookie walks which demand eight dozen cookies, a lot of time, and a lot of energy to run and then the whole holiday season. Now it has all come and gone, and I can go through the pictures and remember some of the memories made along the way.  Although there is much less picture taking as the kids get older b/c they are off playing together or with cousins. I try really hard not to venture into those areas unless I am required due to loud screams or crying.

Sometimes I wonder how I will ever forget some of the things the kids do or say.  Then I look back at old pictures and smile at the memory of them.  But Cate.  And her goggles.  I think she cried when the black and purple goggles broke b/c her siblings were messing with them or her or both.  They were already broken from my use and I am not entirely sure why they were still in the house but she loved them like she loved a pet.  She wore them just about everywhere.

 The mall to visit Santa

Actually seeing Santa.  Oh. Willie.  The smile that haunts a lifetime.  Ask your uncle about it one day.

 Through the bounce house that she needed Will to push her through b/c she isn't quite tall enough.

She then found her actual swimming goggles.  I worry about losing them in the mayhem of the house since it feels like everything gets lost around here for some period of time. There are few dull moments when Cate is around.
