Hello? Is any body out there? Anybody?
Seriously…does anybody still read this thing? Probably not. I don’t blame ya.
I am, however, regardless of the readership of djandtheprophets, convinced that it is high time that I reentered the world of blogging. For a couple of reasons. One is that I spent a whole evening a week or so ago looking through my very own blog archives, and absolutely loved it. So many great little photos and snippets of our life. The other is that, around the same time, one of the kids did or said something really cute, and I thought, “That would be a great blog post!” Sadly, though, a week later I couldn’t even remember which kid it was who had charmed me, let alone what they had said! Crazy, eh? I remember getting frustrated with my mom when she would get things about her five kids mixed up…but now, I understand perfectly. :-)
So, if you’re wondering, “Gee, what has happened to Janet? Will she ever blog again?” the answer is an enthusiastic yes! I very much want to for purely selfish reasons…’cause you know me, I’m so selfish. :-)
Below is a little teaser of, hopefully, more to come. I snapped this photo yesterday. While preparing lunch yesterday (pasta and pesto. Mmmmm.) I heard Phoebe and Noah laughing hysterically at…something. Now understand that when you have several children and hear peals of laughter erupting from some room in the house your first reaction isn’t to go investigate. You’re just thankful that they’re getting along and not screaming in pain. So, I let the laughing continue, finished up the lunch prep and then went to round up the little rascals for lunch. This is where I found them…
Up on the counter in the bathroom, undressed (clearly), with the water running, their feet in the sink, throwing water at each other with some little candle votives that were on the bathroom counter. There was water everywhere. Little monkeys!
P.S. I hope to get back here before the end of the week and share some of the things that have been happening here in Horsmanville lately, and I have one piece of really, REALLY big news to share. (Yes, I realize that most of you have probably already heard through Dave’s Facebook, but there just might be someone out there who has remained immune to the Facebook bug.)
Cheers to returning to blogging!

They’re getting so big! At least water is easier to clean than shampoo or soap and water.

I for one am excited that you are back to blogging. I have checked in on your blog quite a few times and to my dismay, no new blogs. I’m looking forward to once again having a glimpse into your home. Thanks for going through the trouble of it all for us to enjoy.
Cute picture too, by the way. It’s great that they have fun together, even if it does involve water.

Hi Janet.
Glad to see you again. Love the photo of the kids.
We’re still immune to facebook so we’ll eagerly anticipate your news.
Since it comes from Dave I’m guessing it has to do with him…a big move, or new job as opposed to baby #5…that’s my guess….

THANK GOODNESS YOU’RE BLOGGING AGAIN! I check it every day just in case there’s something new… yea maybe I’m a blog stalker, but there are times when a gal just needs to get away from the working world for a brief sec and check out some really good blogs.
Anyway. Glad you’re back… and can’t wait to hear about your “news”… or read about it. (even though I already have a feeling I know what it is about…)

Janet,
I will confess I am a blog stocker and look for updates. I just love following your family!
