All Dressed Up
Meow-meow and her hero-of-the-night, Ironman are sound asleep. The candy high wore off quickly, thank heavens.

Sadie & Tessie Two
We've been busily scampering after these two . . .
Sadie is the Tricolor, and Tess is the little Blenheim. As sweet as they are pretty, both spent countless hours in our (mine & Greg's) laps during the last few days.
Both are young, and both are escape artists. These two traits combined are indeed trouble. I won't elaborate, but will instead conclude with gratitude for their safe return on both occasions.

Monkey
My Ben is a monkey, through and through.
And his mommy is a mess.
But we like it that way!!
First day of pre-school for Ben was today. I was so proud of myself for bringing a fully charged camera. About three seconds after I pulled it out and started clicking away, the lens fogged up. This the best picture I got!
He calls his sweet teachers "The Yellow One" and "The Pink One". Their brightly colored polos are surely to blame. I think instead of working on his coloring homework, we'll work on name-memorization.
Happy School Days!

Hiatus
Blogging has taken a major backseat in my book . . . Summer activities are full force. Vacation Bible School, swimming lessons with Papa, a quick trip to Dallas, and more . . .
I feel like time spent here in blog-world is wasted, and the to-do list just gets longer and longer. Maybe when the fall weather hits I'll be inspired to stalk my kids from behind the camera {I know, that's the end of October in Houston}. Either way, stick around, I'll be back at it before you know it!
In the mean time, a picture of my funny girl. She is funny. Quirky, spirited, spunky. She reminds me so much of my grandmother, Bessie Mae. Big things come in small packages.

news in ninety seconds
i didn't take pictures of my little darling on her second birthday. i will make it up. somehow. someday.
greg fell down the stairs {for the umpteenth time, as he's too macho to hang on to the hand rail}. he suffered the most horrific injury i've ever seen. his left {ahem} cheek has a black/purple/royal blue bruise the size of a ruby-red grapefruit. not even kidding. he asked me if i thought he could get a blood clot from it. if that thang starts to move he's going to have a massive stroke. i've begged to get a picture, but he knows me well enough to know that my mother, sister, girlfriends would receive text images within minutes . . .
both kiddos are great. they make my heart smile. until it hurts.
no current {fun} projects at chez burkett. we're waiting to see if a new roof is in our immediate future.
i think ellie is nearly deaf. she's still my honey. my little dog, a heart beat at my feet {someone brilliant and famous said that, not me}.
that's all. i'm exhausted.
more soon, i hope . . . if not, know at least i'm living it {not capturing it} to the fullest!

Ben Jammin' Turns 4!
And my mommy forgot to post something.
Just messing with ya. I should preface this by saying this is Ben's dad (Greg) writing and not his mommy. Of course, that is pretty evident considering this is my first time ever to blog and Amanda is already a pro. However, even she is human has been totally swamped with... well, everything so I thought I'd give her a break. With that said, I didn't want Ben's birthday to go by without wishing him one last.... Happy birthday Ben! I love you, buddy, and hope you enjoyed your day!
Love,
Daddy
(One last thing, these pictures are from my cell phone and no where near the quality of what ya'll are used to getting from Amanda. But, they came from me and I think that's part of what blogging is about.)

Birthday Eve
We've nearly made it another year . . . Another amazing year with this heaven-sent boy. If I type away about this year with this boy, I'm sure to get sappy. Instead, I give you pictures!
From the camo-bandaid to the missing front tooth, he is boy through and through. He took to his new bike like a duck to water {thanks Big Dad & Kate}. Ben, kiddo, thanks for teaching your momma to love dirty fingernails and monster trucks. Happy 4th Birthday!
PS Cameron recovered from the unveiling of big brother's new Rip Rider nicely, thanks to her Minnie Mouse backpack {courtesy of her Mimi, thank you Mimi}.
