I asked Kate to go and get me a pair of shoes out of my closet.
I'm not sure what went through her brain when choosing this particular pair. It really didn't go at all with my swimsuit.
She is so weird.

Sweet cousin, Emma, is finally here! Tina and Brian apparently were bored with the not-yet-two year old triplets...

Congratulations, you crazy kids. Now, go start a blog 'cause we all want to see how you're gonna do this.
Kate's first day of school in August...

... and her last day in June
No, we don't usually wear our suits to school, but I figured, why not finish up the year in a two piece... it says loads about your healthy self image.
Actually, it was water play day. But was it weird that I picked her up from school in my bikini?
Tuesday was Crazy Hair Day - I'm so glad that I got to do piggies before we shaved his head.

Slime time for O-Dog
Peace.
It was also a birthday celebration for our buddy, Lance - who incidentally, was wearing a T-shirt depicting one of my favorite movies of this year. Who knows it?
Poor Josh didn't do all that well, but...

If you can see my clock, you can tell that it was almost 10:30 and people were dropping like flies - some were even, dare I say, cheating, in order to end the game. When did we get so old? Thanks, friends, it was such a fun night. Or early evening, I should say.
2. I dislike cucumbers, running, airplanes and repetitive noises.
3. I love dark chocolate, BNL, reading novels at breakneck speed and going out to eat.
4. My most embarrasing moment includes cheerleading, having a need to pee and a crowd of onlookers that wondered what in the world just happened.
5. Adoption is always been on my heart (and Josh's as well) and it's tugging at us quite heavily right now. However, it's at odds with the other part of me that has all of the questions... can we handle three? the third being from another place - which then begs all sorts of other questions... how will it change us? our marriage? our dynamic? how can we NOT do this? ah...
6. I adore public speaking (see #1).
7. Ear cleaning and toenail clipping are fascinating to me - I always loved when my mom cleaned my ears, and now Kate loves it too. I will clip anyone's nails, ask Madison.
8. One of my biggest pet peeves is bad grammar usage. Right, Kristi?
9. I love Jesus.
10. It's our 7th anniversary today (that's where the 7 in the title comes from) and as a sweet coincidence, it's Amelia's 5th birthday as well. Even stranger, Scotty's birthday falls on the date of our engagement. As you can imagine, I have high hopes for their third child's birthday.

For all of you who are about to comment in bad grammar... I'm on to you.
