Dusting off the old blog...

Wow, I can't believe I have not been on here posting, rambling, ranting and raving for well over two years! Goes to show you what having 4 kids will do to you! Stumbled back on this blog today and decided to make a new start. I have changed the title to "Baumgartner Party of Six," well, because we are six now. Actually seven, if you count our new dog. Dealing with Montezuma's Revenge here this week... those of you who know me on Facebook may have seen my posts telling good old Montezuma to hit the road. Poor kids... stinks to be on summer break and be sick! Especially here in Florida! Looking forward to some great things this summer... a visit from our Pennsylvania friends, the Rices, a little trip to see Grandma and Papa in Macon, and hopefully a trip down to West Palm Beach to see our good friends, the Marinos. Lots to look forward to. And the regular activities like the pool, play dates with friends, going to the Jump Zone, the awesome $2 movies, the library, the beach, etc. August 15th will be here before we know it! Hard to believe we will have a 4th grader, 2nd grader, 1st grader and of course, a 2 1/2 year old! Speaking of Ally, she is doing very well potty training! She has stayed dry all day today! I took her into the bathroom today and she looked at me and said, "You go out of my bathroom, Mommy. I need privacy!" Well, yes ma'am! Too funny. She speaks in sentences and repeats anything and everything. Her favorite phrase is, "Because why, Mommy?" Well, I will try to update more often, especially for my family who only get snippets from my Facebook posts! Off now to see what havoc Montezuma has wrecked (sp?) while I have been up here. Poor kiddos!
