Can you spot Kathryn?

Kathryn is very high up in a tree. She can go even higher. It makes her mom very nervous. She likes to climb up high and watch people in the soccer field behind our home. Today she showed me a store 3 blocks from our house and said "I can see this from up in the tree". We went to the eye doctor today and she said "I might need glasses because when I'm up in my tree I can't really see the ground." She is at least 25 feet up. Should I be nervous? I think so. She could fall and break her neck. Chris says she could break her neck at gymnastics, or walking down the side walk or riding her bike. The sidewalk? Really? I doubt that. Chris also says he doubts she would fall and hit the ground. It would be a slow fall as she landed on branch after branch. He has a much more positive attitude then me.
I know it has been awhile since I've posted. Obviously lots of things have been happening in our family. I need to write more. Right now I am only blogging in an effort to hide my ears from how obnoxious Jack and his friend are being. I am wearing noise canceling headphones and listening to the blog music. Sometimes our apartment feels suffocatingly small. Like right now. Thirteen year olds boys are goofy, hyper, loud and stinky. Enjoy it while I can, right? It won't last forever. At least right now Jack seems to like me so I'm grateful for that. At what age do boys stop talking to their moms? Maybe never, hopefully never.
To those of you that care, I will try to blog more often. I need to write about our sweet little babies Grey and Micah. Soon Kathryn and I will go visit them in Utah and I will have to post pictures everyday!

Okay, I looked more closely, and I'm not sure I can even see her at all.
Where is she in that tree?

I found her!!! Man I don't know it that is a good thing. But like Chris says, she'll hit lots of branches to break her fall, and maybe a few small bones, on the way down. Sounds like you will be on your way to Utah soon. Those boys are doing so well.

I love that she says she can't see the ground so she needs glasses. Do you remember climbing trees at that age? When you were 3 you climbed up in a crab apple tree and when I expressed concern you said, "don't worry, I know there aren't any crabs in the apples"!
