don't worry...we aren't actually moving! we are moving our website...to a real one, thanks to my (kinda) cool brother aaron! we are leaving xanga behind and heading over to walking in faith. please some and visit us there! remember, it's just a beginning so be patient with us!

new address: www.kleinburtts.com

my sister sarah met us on the side of the road (i'm not joking!) and we had a quick, impromptu photo session! addy is nine months old which means that she has been outside in the world about as long as she was inside of me...i say about as long since addy actually hung out for about forty-two weeks instead of the average thirty-eight to forty. anyway, sarah took some really cool pictures and i really appreciate her work because she mixed my ideas with her flair and we got exactly what we wanted! and by the way, this kid knows how to work the camera!

p.s. don't get any developed from this website, grandma and grandpa....we will bring the originals with us! 









 

monday is my day off. it's christian's day off too. sometimes, however...the day starts a little different...or a little "off" so to speak. perhaps it started last night when i was getting ready to give addy her bath. someone was a tad sleepy. or maybe more than a tad. i have no idea why she was so tired, but instead of falling asleep around 9:30 or 10, she was falling asleep around 8 and was probably out by 8:30. yes this is her sleeping while i was putting her pj's on.

which could by why at 6:30am, just while i was getting ready to sip coffee and read my bible...i heard talking. i peeked in and sure enough she was standing up talking to her daddy who was sound asleep in his bed. out of my pure love for him, i got her up and brought her into the kitchen.

while i was getting ready to wash a few dishes that were piling up in the kitchen sink, i realized there was a certain smell permeating my kitchen. ahh, over ripe peaches.

yes, i really brought an ice chest full of peaches home on the plane from my parents. i was considering canning them like last year...except last year i was pregnant, on summer break and had a thing called time. however this year i have an eight month old and a deep freeze which has definitely saved my life. so the dishes waited.

with just my paring knife, i quickly cut, peeled and debruised an ice chest's worth of peaches. i don't know if "debruised" is a word, but i really like my knives by the way. i am glad my husband picked them out. the peaches were sweet but very soft...perfect for addysen.

while i was cutting peaches, i also made a little peach oatmeal for the munchkin who was getting bored of the kitchen floor. peach oatmeal is what i plan on using all these peaches for anyway. all you need is one ripe peach mashed a little, a handful of oats and some water, a microwave for three minutes, a freezer for five minutes and a hungry child to enjoy.

i'll admit i also tackled the dishes in the middle of it and tried to straighten up the kitchen. thirty snack bag ziplocks later, i had plenty of peaches ready to be made into peach oatmeal

and addysen was more than...peached out?

and all that was just during the first two hours of my day.
