Technical difficulties

They are abounding lately and preventing me from uploading bazillions of pictures from our Christmas adventures. That may not bother anyone but me, but the more time that goes by, the more my "mommy brain" forgets, and I so want to document all the little things that made our holidays memorable this year. Here's the holdup:

First, all my Nashville pictures are on my mom's camera. In Nashville. The few I do have that I've loaded to iPhoto are not showing up in my Mac folders when I try to post them to Blogger or Facebook. I've "searched for updates" in iPhoto, shut it down and reopened...no luck. Anyone had this happen and know the solution?

Second, as I, I mean Katie Beth, mentioned previously, we have a crawler on our hands now. "Technical difficulties" seems a fitting phrase. It's technically difficult for my eyes to be on anything else than this busy little body that would like to haphazardly explore the brick fireplace or french-kiss Zoe's tennis ball. What about naptime, you ask? That brings me to...

Thirdly, with all this newfound mobility, and teething I suspect, my usually good and routine sleeper has little time or patience for naps longer than 40 minutes or so. Just enough time for Mommy to shower, give Ben some QT or start thinking of being productive...then she is ready to roll. literally.

Oh and then there is all the stuff I'm supposed to be doing for the practice. That baby has been sorely neglected (by me, not Tyler - he's working so hard) for the last couple of months, and with exciting things like new contests and office renovations to announce, I'm trying to dedicate more time to that little thing that's paying the bills!

But...mostly, it's the first thing. So any advice is greatly appreciated! I do have pictures from Amanda to share, but then the difficulty mainly lies in my second and third points. Here are a couple, just so this post has more of a point than me making excuses!

KB meeting cousins Elena and Kalyssa for the first time...so many cousins, only one baby to hold!

The boys

Ben might just idolize Caleb and Luke, and they couldn't be more patient or inclusive with him. Three pretty cool boys....one of whom was perfectly happy in his borrowed pink snowboots, thank you.
