We're Baa-aaack!

I know! I know! Go change your depends mama's back to her blog! So it seems I've let blogging slip to the wayside. That's no way to be.

So what's been up in Hutchville since we last met? Well lots! First we bought our first house in Ye Olde Culpeper, VA. Then Scarlett turned 2. Then the country got it's first African American president. Woo! Then Josh knocked me up, again. Then Scarlett turned 3. Then sweet baby Dee joined the family. Then Scarlett turned 4. So I think you're all caught up 1, 2, black president, 3, fresh baby, 4,  and here we are.

So what's going on in the world? A whole bunch of crazy that's what. Gas is almost $4.00 a gallon. How are people supposed to afford that? It's a conspiracy I tell you.  The housing market still sucks. I'm estimating we'll be underwater with this house for the next 5-50 years.  People seem to be slowly but surely going back to work so that's good. Politicians are fighting like crazy. Wipe that shocked look of your face right now. If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'.  They almost shut down the whole operation a couple of weeks ago. Or so they say. I'm not so sure I buy that. Another Washington conspiracy if you ask me.

Now, onto the kids, Scarlett is all kinds of 4 years old and Delilah is 9.5 months. Scarlett is a sweet, sensitive little soul. She loves everything princess. Repunzel is her alter ego. She is a prima ballerina and all star soccer player. Although, she takes more pride in her "ballet moves".  She happens to be the best big sister this side of The Peper. She watches out for her little sister, alerting me to every stray piece of paper that makes it's way into Dee's mouth, blowing on Dee's belly to get a laugh, making silly faces to stop Dee's tears. She really has taken to this big sister thing like a champ. I'm so proud of my girl.

Then, there is my spunky little Delilah. She is loud, opinionated and strong. Traits I know will serve her well in the real world. I keep telling myself this as she challenges my every move. This girl has a smile that will light up any room though. I mean her eyes literally sparkle every time she smiles. She's freakin magical I tell ya. She's SO STRONG.  She's already trying to walk. She wants what she wants when she wants it and refuses to wait for anyone or anything.  Good think she's growing up in the digital age right? I'm so happy she's joined our family I don't know what I'd do with out my little Dee.

Josh and I are still trying to get a handle on this two kid situation. It's a challenge, no doubt about that. I thought one kid rocked my world. That was nothing compared to two. And people say adding another after two is easy. Another conspiracy.



So that in a blog shell is what's up with the Hutch.
