Wow, has it really been 2 months?

HHmmmm, apparently is HAS been 2 months since my last post. Shady, as Jared would say. I was emailing my friend Sarah tonight and saying how I am behind on blog posts and I don't do them because I am overwhelmed with how much I have to catch up on. But these little girls are little now! So here I go-one small post for now while I'm up and alone! I really don't want us to be those distant acquaintances up in Washington, and it doesn't have to be perfect, right? :) By the way, does anyone else have issues moving pictures within each post? I always waste so much time fighting with Blogger to move pictures into the order I want them on the post. Let me know how you do it!
So these are some of our Easter pictures. I love the back of their dresses, and look at that furry little mullet sticking out of that Easter bonnet! In the last 4 weeks or so Miri's hair has begun to grow and it's gotten lighter. Maybe from the sun, but that's about when Elena's hair started growing too. My baby is growing up! While Auntie B was here in early May Miriam rolled over for the first time, and now she's a creeper! I often lay her down on the floor to play on a blanket and just a few seconds later I'll look again and she'll be rolled over, facing a totally different direction and gnawing on some toy. She's definitely teething, too. Nothing has popped out yet though.




These girls LOVE each other. Miriam lights up when she sees her sister and Elena is good at entertaining her and making her laugh!
The "girls" on Easter morning. Too bad we didn't get a family picture that day. Daddy looked so handsome too!

Adri, are you a tired mommy? Hurray that you just posted instead of putting it off because you couldn't do it all. I struggle with that, too (as you know). Even if it has to be a few pics with no "journaling," your friends and family will appreciate a slice of what's going on. I'm not good at this either (my posts end up being extremely long because I just cram everything in--not a good way to do it), so I'm talking to myself, too.

As to blogger pics, they've been driving me crazy the last month or more--I used to be able to click on a picture, then scroll and drop it where I want, but no more. I imagine that's what you're experiencing. I'm sure someone out there has found a way to fix it, but how I cope with it is to A) upload the pics in backwards order (since the first pic uploaded is the last pic on the post) and B) click on the picture *under* the one I want to move, and let go when the arrow is to the left of the that picture (moving the one behind the other/trading places--I find it easier than trying to get the above picture to move below the lower one).

You may already do these things. Obviously, it is still a pain, and still takes forever, only moving it one small space at a time. One good thing is that it should motivate us to do tiny, few-pictures-at-a-time posts, right?

Another pet peeve about blogger: all those extra spaces that happen every time I upload another set of pics or open a save draft of a post. So annoying!

Let me know if you find better solutions! Great to hear from you!

Hey, I just noticed on your side bar--happy one-year blogging anniversary!

Hi Adri, I'm so glad we've heard from you!

While composing my last post on Blogger I was having the same problem of which you have complained. I discovered that a simple cut-and-paste works, and it is very easy!

Are you planning anything fun for tomorrow? ;)
