Moving Pictures!

I've finally put all of the pieces together for us to put video on the web. This is officially an experiment, so please let me know how it works for you.

RSS Feed Now Available

For those real techies out there (probably only Katie and Robyn), our blog is now available to be picked up by RSS aggregators. Here is the URL you will need:

http://hobbsfamilynews.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Or click the link at the bottom of the sidebar ->

If you don't know what I'm talking about, either Google it or ask me in person. I am using NetVibes right now and love it.

Katie, if you are interested I can show you how to do this to yours, if you like.

Surprise!

Yes, we are indeed alive and are now capable of creating new blog posts again! After weeks of pregnancy fatigue and queasiness, exhaustion, working full time, battling technical difficulties and most recently, the stomach flu, we are back on line. Get off the floor and read on!

Most notably, congratulations to Amy and Neal, who have announced their upcoming marriage in June! We're very excited for you both and look forward to adding Neal and his son Jack to the family. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the happy couple together, but if someone will send me one (incriminating or otherwise!), I'll be happy to post it!

The big news of the week is that we've been hit by the stomach flu again. Poor Brooke threw up seven times on Sunday. We took her to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta where she received great care and anti-nausea medicine. Since then, we've been battling the other stomach ills with her, too, though much less frequently. She wants to sit in our laps a lot and be cuddled, with for Brooke -- energizer bunny that she is -- means that she's feeling just awful! She threw up again this morning and then at 11:30 she actually told me "book shoo shoo shoo." Translation: "I want to read a book and take a nap." NEVER in her life has that girl told me she wanted to take a nap! She slept for an hour, we went on a walk, and is now down for another nap. The most trying times are when her blanket needs washing for reasons that you can imagine and when she wants food off of her restricted diet (mostly she wants milk). I'm SO glad that the weather is pretty and warm so we can at least get outside with the stroller.

I've had a touch of the bug myself. Fortunately, Brad seems to have slipped under its radar.

I'm just glad that my sweet client is understanding in yet another delay on her never-ending project! I'm only a day or two away from finishing, but it will probably be next week before I can wrap it up. Such is a mom's life!

Since you don't want to see what we look like this week, here are pictures to catch us up from our absence:




These Mr. Potato Head glasses are great!!! I like to try to wear the shoes, too.


Check out Mother Dot's earrings!

And Mommy's pin!

Yup! They're still there! Who says you can't dress up jammies??? I just might wear this outfit to Aunt Amy's wedding!
