Long time, no blog!

I have no excuse for being a bad mommy-blogger other than I'm still sleep deprived and am not taking as many pictures as I'd like. We went to the lake for Labor Day weekend and I came home ready to load pictures on our computer only to realize I'd taken ONE picture during our 6 day stay. And the one picture didn't even turn out well.

Maren continues to grow and is sleeping better at night - she'll now go 4 hours or so which means I'm up about 2 times a night if I'm lucky. Kevin's cousin Chrissi gave me a huge bag full of clothes that her daughter has outgrown I now have more fun outfits to dress Maren in. This is one of them:Oh it's so fun to dress a little girl!I got out Warner's old activity mat for Maren to play on but I think it's a bit much for her right now. In the meantime Warner has enjoyed playing with it. Go figure.And of course I still find time to bake sweets to have (even if it's just brownies from a box) which Warner loves to "help" with. He drags his step stool out of the bathroom into the kitchen whenever I'm cooking and insists on participating. Mostly he enjoys licking the spatula.
