Excuses, Excuses--9 Months

I haven't posted here in a while because I'm either:

-cutting up baby food (no, we don't have to eat from a jar anymore! Just cut up soft things and let them feed themselves!)
-feeding hungry children who open their mouths like little birds whenever they sit at the table
-cleaning up mashed peaches from the dining room floor
-taking pieces of paper away from Peter and cleaning out his mouth afterward
-changing poopy diapers
-washing poopy diapers
-nursing 2 almost-20-lb babies
-getting moral support from other moms
-folding not-so-tiny-anymore baby clothing
-chasing after Peter, who now crawls to EVERYTHING he shouldn't be near
-watching Peter and Joy interact and touch each other's faces...they love peering at each other through the slats of their cribs
-tickling and playing with the kids (I'll do anything to hear their wonderful giggles!! Especially Joy, whose laugh is actually audible now, as opposed to a "Ernie-style" laugh...think Sesame Street :))
-practicing my clarinet to play for Becky's wedding in Seattle
-attending Becky's wedding in Seattle
-vacationing with Steve's family in Seattle
-trying to spend quality time with my husband
-surely there are other worthwhile excuses...
