Long Time...

Its amazing how little blogging gets done without pictures. I am finally convinced my camera is probably truely lost. I wonder if it might have gotten stolen from my car, or perhaps fallen out. I am more thinking that it was stolen, becuase I have my name and phone number written in magic marker on the case. So, if some innocent person found it, they would have called me. The good news about this all, is that Devon gave me a new one for my birthday. I have been saying how I would like to really learn how to use a nice camera, so Devon got me a Cannon Rebel for my birthday, and it is awesome. I haven't gotten around to taking many pictures with it yet, but the few random ones we have taken while playing with it have such awesome quality, so I am excited. I am still hoping that somehow my camera will turn up, and then I will have a small one to keep in the diaper bag, but if not, I guess we'll survive.

Dylan started Karate in January at an awesome academy. The instructors are constantly talking about discipline, self control, listening to your parents, keeping your room clean, etc. It is so positive and so much about good moral character. They also teach a lot of stranger safety. Dylan is loving it so far and I have been very impressed with everything. The funniest thing is Ethan. He must pick up on things quick. He will hold his hands up in a guarding stance and say "hi-ya." It is so cute, and I really need to get it on video tape, but who knows if I'll get around to that.

Hopefully soon I will get back in the swing of taking pictures. I think I have gotten out of the habit after not having one available for so long. And then maybe I'll have a few more posts again.
