Apparently the vocal Voelkel's have less to say and more to DO!

AHHHHH.... I remembered that I have a blog and how much I like to blog-but time has not been my friend. I could list many excuses but i choose to press on and not look back! Let's see alot has happened since August 27th-Hayes is 3, Lily is 5 and Camille is 6 months - Greg is a giant highschooler and I am a room mom. Yes me. Never Again. Room moms are organized, thoughtful, and have clean cars. People who know me would not describe me as any of those things. And the funny thing is I am okay with it! I am happily enjoying our new book club with some fabulosly real ladies, lovin' my chubby baby Camille, secretly thinking I am getting paid back in full all of things my parents dealt with via Hayes and am excited that Lily is turning into such a lady. Greg is still in Baton Rouge and I miss him terribly. He graces us with his presence occasionally, fericiuosly eating everything in his path. Handsome young man. I sent out my Christmas cards today, yes it is the 16th of December. Dan kindly pointed out that Greg is shirtless. It is strange. I was in a rush. Hopefully next year's card will make up for it! If we would have taken a true family picture Hayes would have been in his superman tshirt, athletic shorts, crocs and baseball cap - instead he is wearing a coordinated outifit and he is staring daggers through the camera lense. Camille is loooking down, lily ahs a fake smile and I need to shed my winter layer of stored fat. Pressing forward..... that will be my 2010 motto!
