I apologize to all of those who depend on this blog for new pictures and fun stories about the Bland family- since many of you live so far away. I have been derelict in my duties, but take exception due to the demands this summer has placed on our family. A new baby, family in town, reunions and 50th wedding anniversary celebrations...we have been really busy.
What you have missed...
1. Lucas is almost 4 months old now, he is happy and only grumpy when tired and hungry. He is so easy to make smile. He is a little flirt, and talks quite a bit (in baby of course)
2. Olivia keeps surprising us with how much she has grown. Her hair keeps getting longer and curlier, and blonder. She is now successfully body-slamming her older sister.
3. Anna is POTTY TRAINED!!! Yay...only panties from here on out! We are so proud of her. She continues to keep us on our toes- and points out our bad behavior by mimicking us so often and so accurately!
4. Aaron is taking 18 credit hours this semester, and every semester till he graduates. We still have a year and a half left, THEN it's off to grad school.
5. Amanda is just busy with kids and house. She recently turned 28, and her husband treated her like a queen! She felt so special!
6. We recently attempted our first official (pay too much money for a teenager to play "professional") family photo at Sears. Unfortunately, I take up 85% of the picture (aren't those professionals suppose to fix weight problems? There has to be a certain angle only they know about...), and Aaron's eyes were closed. And that was the BEST photo we got. At least the kids look cute right? We will probably frame it in Walmart brand fake wood- to be hung in a dark corner of the house we might be able to afford someday.
That sums up the excitement! We love you all!

Ohhhhhhh I think Anna and Olivia look adorable. I am not biased!!!
Please kiss Lucas on his chins. I love babies.
I cant hardly wait till we get to spend time together.
It's about time you update! :) I can't believe how yummy and unique each of your kids are.
And PS) 28??? Are we seriously that old?
Well I am glad to have you back in the saddle. I hope someday to visit your house and I will look for your terrible family photo in the dark corner of your house...probably covered in cobwebs by the time I get there.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!I'm so excited.
What SUGAR!!!!! The girls are absolutely amazing and Lucas, my, how he's grown! I so hate we can't be closer so that we can love on them more often.
Don't know if you've heard or got the scoop yet, but I'm going to be grandmother again! Yes, Julie and Jeremiah are finally going to get with the program. I think being around Lucas, Devan and Miss Julie Ann in August must have just pushed them over the edge. :)
Love to you and the notsoblands.

Well Hello! I am glad you have a blog since I cannot seem to make any phone calls lately!
How are you?
I know that I see you more often than many but I actually liked seeing the pics of the family. Good job, I may never find the link again but it is great. Thanks always for letting your hubby golf w/ me from time to time.

Lucas got so big so fast! I can't believe it's already been almost four months! And Olivia's hair is so cute!
Congrats on the potty training!!! I completely agree on the photo story. I was glad when Dave started playing photographer because ugly pic's didn't cost us anything. The biggest problem is now I blame Dave for pic's I look fat in, though his physic doesn't help with that either.
It's fun to get to hear little stories about the Blands through Becca now too. I like that Anna has figured out football keeps her out of bed. Keep blogging!
