Reason #1: Seth and I went on a trip to Portugal in Spain in mid-March, which meant about 2 weeks of insane prep-work at school before the trip and lots of catching up to do when we got back. Here we are in Portugal. I'll probably get around to sharing more picture from the trip someday, but we've been back for a month and I haven't even had time to even look through them yet so it might be awhile.
Reason #2: Charlie. And the nice weather. Keeping that kid indoors is nearly impossible unless I let him watch Frozen. I try to limit his screen time so that is reserved for when I absolutely need to get something done inside. Even if he does stay inside willingly, he's usually doing something that requires constant supervision. I let him go off and play quietly the other night for 5 minutes so I could read books to Sam and Elena (Charlie doesn't sit as well for stories as the other two) and he came back with eye-liner all over one of his eyes. Needless to say, if I try to get things done on the computer, he either runs off and I have to chase him or he stays by me and tries to bang on all the keys or shut the lid while I type.
Reason #3: This is the primary and most exciting reason. We are expecting another baby (and I've been super sick)!!! We're due around Halloween and we are all very excited. Elena wants a girl, Sam wants another boy and Charlie is clueless, but every time we ask him if he thinks the baby will be a girl or a boy he says, "Baby girl!" I just had my 12 week check up today and all is well so far. I'm still feeling sick though so I'm just hoping that will be over in the next week or two.
