40 days.

Yes, folks... it's been 40 days since I've blogged.  You have no idea how hard I'm kicking myself.

At the same time, perhaps when I look back at this blog (which is why I blog in the first place- to log memories) I will account this time for being the busiest- most insanely, CRAZY time of my life.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I have no wild stories or tattoos to show for it... just a big, giant headache and super heavy eyelids.  

Where do I even start?

I think my last blog post, I was procrastinating- writing about Maeve's 4th birthday.   Shame on me.  For real. 

Because its 2 months later, and sure enough, my memory is starting to fog out on a lot of the details.  Okay- FOR REAL- FOR REAL- I am planning on blogging about Maeve's 4th birthday.  And Henry's 2nd birthday... and a bazillion other things.  But I feel like each of those events deserve their own post.  So be patient with me... they're coming- I just want to take my time remembering and posting pictures.

In this awesome "40 day" post- I'm going to try and compile a list of the happenings/events that have gone on in the past (gulp) month... that way you can get really excited (I'm sure!) about all the awesome things that are coming up on the blog roll... and it will keep me accountable for blogging about said events.

I'll also give a little rundown on each family member... just because.  (Because you all care? :)

 First off, the list... the list of events that need to be blogged.   That WILL be blogged. :)

• Maeve's 4th birthday
• Halloween
• Stella's first bout with sickness
• Henry's 2nd birthday
• Thanksgiving
• my grandma
• the Christmas show
• my sand dollar luck...
• wisdom tooth extraction

What an interesting list, eh?

Okay now... the cast of characters:

Ryan
Ryan is pretty much just amazing.  He adapts to anything- anytime, anywhere.  There have been so many changes, and he just picks up like its second nature.  He likes his job- I wouldn't call it love- but he definitely likes it.  He's not only husband of the year (in my book) he's also dad of the year.  With all the insane health emergencies we've been having, he's been the rock that I need.  10 times out of 10 he's there when I need him.  It may mean that he has to go into work earlier or work later, but he does it.  He is still running every morning at the crack of dawn, and apparently its a lot more pleasant to run in 50 degree "chilly" morning weather rather than subzero, wet, snowy weather?  His release is the beach.  (as is mine) But after being in an office all day, he really, really loves getting out on the beach.   Lets see.... his favorite food (or most commonly ordered/eaten food) is a fish taco with avocado... he's still in love with his Detroit teams, and he likes to say, "WE LIVE HERE!" whenever we drive over the The Bridge of Lions. :)

Ashley (mua)
I am 10 pounds away from returning to my pre-preggo weight.  (YAY)... although my eating habits are absurd... (thank God for nursing!)  You can usually find me at the local parks.  There are 2 I really love to go to:  Davenport Park and this awesome wooden park (very comparable to Loomis park in downtown Jackson).  I've recently become a huge fan of Zaxbys (well mainly their iced tea- they have HOSPITAL ICE!) and I had my first Arnold Palmer (1/2 tea, 1/2 lemonade) at Chick-fil-A the other day.  Photography down here has been awesome.  I had to take a leap in October, and ask a family if I could photograph them... but its kind of all taken off from there.  Thank goodness for social media outlets!  There are still (many) times when I feel like an outsider- like when I scheduled a photo shoot for the beach at high tide... (we showed up and the waves were crashing into the storm wall... definitely not able to even step a toe on the beach).  Or when I thought it would be brilliant to do some pictures on the bay front... beautiful- yes, windy as a tornado too.  I've met a lot more people in the past couple of months thanks to photography and the studio.  I am still missing my Michigan friends dearly, but I am so determined to make a life here.  I probably say this 100000 times a day, but its the truth:  "I love this town- I love this area.  If I could transport my house and my friends down here, I'd be in heaven." 

Maeve
Oh my Maemae.  She is seriously the best big sister ever.  I'm not sure where she got it from, because I was a very jealous big sister!  I didn't like my parents giving attention to my siblings... she, on the other hand, couldn't care less.  She's always telling me to "look at how cute Stella is" or telling Henry to say certain words, then turning to me and exclaiming "MOM!  Henry said my name!"  This kid is ALL about her sibs.  It's the most wonderful thing to watch.  Along with her great big sis traits, I have to also make a note that she is...

• stubborn
• a stinker
• dramatic

She mimics anything I say or do.  One day, while waiting for my mom to meet me for breakfast, I was trying to phone her, only to reach her mailbox over and over again.   Out of frustration I said, "Ughhh!  Nana's driving mama crazy!"  Want to guess what the first thing out of her mouth, to my mom was? 

She's in love- LOVE- with my sisters.  She thinks they're the most beautiful girls on the planet (and they are).  She is still 100% girl... she loves make up- and has gotten many a make up kit taken away from her for putting make up on walls, carpet, etc.  She loves dresses, talking on the phone (to nana or uncle Ty), singing, princesses, etc.  She tells me crazy things all the time like, "Mom, I am a princess and so I do not play baseball, right?"  Right Maeve... right :)  She loves going to the park, chick-fil-a and Barnes and Noble.  She sleeps in my t-shirts every night (to be like me & nana) and she's a total ocean chick.  As soon as we "release" her on the beach, she's running through the surf.  She's so beautiful.  :)

Henry
My sweet mister man had his 2 year appointment.  As a lot of you know, I've been a tad concerned with his lack of language skills.  With much, MUCH relief, we were told that he is A-OK!:) He's definitely on the lower end of words and speaking, but he is sociable and still on track.  At the moment he can say a hand full of phrases like, "Ohhh what's that?" or "Where'd it go?"  and my favorite, "What's wrong?"  He is the sweetest thing.  Sooooo very sensitive.  All I have to do is get down to his eye level and give him "the look."  He's a blubbering mess after that, and all that comforts him is to be held and told that everything's fine.   He loves both of his sissys sooooo much.  And he's surprisingly very gentle with Stella.  There are moments when I'm cringing as he's trying to give her a hug, but for the most part he's really good.  He loves the beach and parks as well.  He's not a huge fan of the waves- if the ocean is particularly rough, he's a little bit hesitant.  But that's fine with me... I'd much rather him be hesitant than throwing himself in the water.  He drinks 24/7.  I have no comment on his bottle habits  (yes, I did say bottle...eek!).  He's obsessive with trains, cars- basically anything with wheels.  He loves fruit snacks and beans (black and kidney beans) and French toast sticks.  Currently, he is by FARRRRR the BEST sleeper in this house.  He takes a solid 2 hour nap each and every day and goes to bed at 8 and sleeps till 7.  AHHHHH-MAZING :)

Stella
My baby... that's not really a newborn baby anymore.  For real- this chick is going to be crawling in no time.  She rolls from one end of the living room to the other in a minute.  She too, loves her brother and sister.  They make her smile all day long.  But I'm fairly sure I'm her favorite.  Let's just say she's a big fan of nursing.  I think I've gotten myself into a badddd situation with her- I've let her nurse throughout the night- and that's ALL she wants to do now.  (heyyy... maybe that's why I've lost weight?)  She sleeps next to me from about 1 AM-6 AM and nurses as she pleases the entire time.  Insane, I know.  But she could very well be my last baby... so I'm trying hard not to rush her through the baby stage.  EVEN if that means zero sleep for us.  We moved her crib into our room the other day because it was decided that I would not trust Maeve to sleep with her.  Maeve would never, ever hurt her purposefully, but I could totally see her sticking a stuffed animal in the crib with her, or climbing in to sleep with her... both of which would be soooo dangerous.  For the 3 hours Stella sleeps on her own, she normally sleeps in her swing... the doc recommended this when she was sick, and we quickly found that she sleeps the most soundly in her swing (versus the bassinet/crib).  She's a porker.  I'm not sure how much she weighs- but at her last appointment which was 3-4 weeks ago, she was 13 pounds.  Really- she's growing WAY TOO FAST.  She's cooing, smiling, and in love with her fingers and toes.  She could very well be the most spoiled baby on the planet.  When I was preggo with her I felt bad that she'd probably be in a swing for most of the day because I'd be too busy with the other kids to hold her.  She made it known that swing life was not for her.  She is either in my arms or in someone else's arms ALL THE TIME.  She'll flip around on the floor for a bit, but she quickly gets upset and wants to be held... again.  It's another one of those things, that I know she'll outgrow fast- so I'm definitely not complaining about holding her.  Although it is VERY difficult trying to dress a 2 year old while holding a baby....

Okay... that should bring you up to date with the McKenney family. 

I will blog more in depth about those bulleted "events" as time allows. 

But... sighhhh... it did feel good to sit down and write for a bit.  :)

Thanks for reading! 


   

(not) wordless wednesday!

(get ready for an ALL over the place kind of post...)

Today I am a little over 29 weeks preggo. 

Happily, I measured RIGHT ON at my appointment this morning.  YAY!  I am hoping for another tiny baby girl... Henry was a whopper of a baby- but I consistently measured 2-3 weeks ahead from about 20 weeks on with him. 

Here are some lovely photos of the growing belly...

I am definitely getting too big.   I've thought this with both of my pregnancies... and yet, somehow, I keep getting bigger... and bigger.

I had my glucose test today... is it embarrassing to admit that I think the orange flavored stuff actually tastes semi- good? 
On a whole different note, we're right smack dab in the middle of moving.  It's quite the process, let me tell you.  My poor mom is down in Florida, scouting out an OB for me- the thought of her going to OB's and asking questions cracks me up... ;)  The big moving truck gets here next Monday... I'm ready to get the  boxes out of the house and into the truck.  My house is feeling more and more like a shell each day... sad :(

Henry is obviously oblivious to what is going on.  He just runs around with his choo-choo's (trains) and climbs in and out of boxes.

Maeve, on the other hand, is very pleased.  Although she doesn't understand dates or times, she does understand that we're packing and going back to Florida.  She keeps saying it makes her "heart happy."  :)

Oh- and remember that contest I entered WAY BACK WHEN???  I posted about it here!  Anyways, the places and all that were finalllllly announced.  I was told it would be in the paper over Memorial Day weekend, but it wasn't.  Instead I found it on their site.  The sad news is, I didn't place (no money... booo).  The happy news is, they did select my photo(s)- (I'm still unsure of WHAT photo or photoS have been selected?) to be hung in their new building.  So that's pretty cool I guess, right?

I think those are the updates I have for today...

Thanks for keeping up with our ever-changing, incredibly crazy clan! :)



 

quick rundown...

First & foremost, we're home.

After a {suuuuper} long flight delay last night, we landed in Detroit around 11.  It was a long day, to say the least.

Today is our first home showing... which means I have been up since 6:30 (yeah, I'm pretty tired) scrubbing, sweeping, picking up, organizing, washing finger prints and other drawings off of walls, ya know.

We have ZERO food in the house.   This morning the kids got nutrigrain bars and SPRITE.  Holy cow.  We're headed to the grocery store soon (hoping to kill some time there during this house showing...)

I'm bummed I only took a handful of photos in Florida.  To my defense, both of my kids became incredibly sick for the last 3 days of the vacay, thus putting a halt on photography (especially photography of my children).  The first 4-5 days we were down there, the temp was in the 30's.  This meant, we hudled inside and once again, I neglected to take photos.  Did you know I hate my flash?  I do.  I hate it- I NEVER use it.  I despise it.  I'd rather turn my shutter down to 10 than to turn on my flash...  Anyways, this meant a lack in photos.

Last thing on this crazy agenda list... would ya? could ya?  PLEASE ..........PLEASE vote for my photo in the I Heart Faces photo challenge?  If so....

CLICK HERE & scroll down & down (and down) to photo #462!  That's my man :) 

More to come later.... for now, I've got one kid asleep on the couch (with a fever) and another asleep in my lap (yes, with a fever.)

updates all around!

• Maeve is still doing fab on the potty training front.  In fact, she's using the potty right now :)
• Henry has an appointment for his ears tomorrow... we're crossing our fingers that everything is fluid free!
• We're Florida bound in 1 DAY.  You have no idea how happy I am to be getting out of Antarctica.
• I have the world's worst headache right now... tylenol isn't touching it :/
• Ryan has been working 10 hour days to compensate for missing 3 days for Florida.  It's been nuts around here to say the least. 
• The Christmas gifts from Santa Round 1, are doing well.  I think if I had to break it down, Maeve's favorite gifts are the horse stable and the "Trail Mix & Match" game.   Henry's fave would be "Chuck".  Maeve (surprisingly) didn't (and doesn't) pay much attention to the easel or the M&D giant blocks.  This kind of disappoints me... both the easel and the blocks take up a TON of space in this teeny house... I guess we could have done without either one of them. :/ ehhh.
• our house officially has a "for sale" sign in the yard :( sniff sniff...

my crazy man

Did I blog that Henry took his first step/s the other day??? I can't even remember... its been a whirlwind around here...

But, he did. He took a step, then another, then a crash.

Right now he's on the floor with his dadda, flipping his legs in the air (Henry- not Ryan) and cracking up.

He's learned two tricks this week (I'm talking like he's a dog now...:/ )
-he now waves "HI"

and he *kind of* blows kisses- its more of like smacking his face over and over again.... but its cute :)

peace, love and happiness.

While on the way to Maeve's doctor appointment, my G.Love was on shuffle this morning... this song fittingly came on:

"Peace, Love and Happiness"
why let this world weigh on your shoulders
pick it up push it off
before you let yourself colder
just look into the eyes
the good eyes of a child and see
that love rise like a river
and flow for a thousand miles
to give me some
peace love happiness


There are a lot of places I could go with that, but remember, its Monday- and I've stepped out of the weekend... :)

Maeve's appointment went really well- surprise, surprise! I juggled both kids, 4 shots (3 for Maeve and one for Henry- his flu shot) clothes coming off, clothes going on, Maeve screaming on one hip, Henry screaming on the other. But, we survived. I think I'm relating my airplane experiences to everything- ya know, if I flew with my two crazy kids, alone with 3 tons of junk, I can survive a 20 minute doctors appointment.

Maeve weighs 30.2 lbs. and is eeek.... maybe 37 inches? Shoot I forgot!

I DO remember that she is in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. Doctor gave me props for good eating habits... if she only knew Maeve survives off of cheese and fruitsnacks.

Nothing really event-worthy happened, just those dreaded shots.

The doctor always drops the "this is how many shots we need to do" bomb and my heart sinks... today it was 3 for Maeve. AND my pooooor bubba man- he was chillin' in his seat, and somehow got roped into getting the flu vaccine. I mean obviously, it was my decision, but I figured better limit my office visits to ONE instead of two. So I pulled his pants down and they stuck him. He's been screaming ever since- no really, he's been screaming ever since the shot.

Maeve was next- and she was a good girl. I thought for sure I'd be fighting her, but she just wrapped her arms around my neck and slumped down. She cried and waved "bye" to the shots and the nurse... ("BYE NURSE! BYE SHOTS! YOU GO NOW!") and then began the Maeve spree.

Target was our first stop... an Icee and cheetos (YUCK) is what she wanted. We looked through toys and books, and she wanted all these little dinky things that were bound to get sucked up in the vacuum cleaner. I tried to talk her into "Candyland," she said "no." Her "prize" ended up being a box of Junior Mints... I love this kid :)

I made a run by "Clothing Carousel" (insane, yes, considering that Henry had not stopped screaming- I must be immune to it or something...) but I found some awesome deals. Both kids got fall coats (funny I just realized they're both Old Navy coats- not that that matters, but cool I guess)- the coats (and specifically Maeves) are in AWESOME condition. I kind of dread buying winter coats- they wear them for one, crappy season and ruin them. This year I said I wasn't paying over 15 bucks for a coat. Both were under ten. Nice, nice. I also found jeans for skinny minny Maeve and two sweaters for Henry. The best part? I had credit there- so I didn't have to spend actual money. suuuuuweeeet!

We got home around noon... Henry screamed through lunch and threw his cheese and pretzels on the floor- very, very odd.

I put the kids down around 12:30/one or so... and was SO, SO excited to get an hour of ALONE TIME. I got in a good conversation with a friend (with screaming in the background...), was able to get some photog stuff done and then I realized that Henry was STILL screaming.

Henry IS STILL screaming, in fact. I called his doctor, ended up talking to the nurse who gave him the flu shot this morning- she assured me that it wasn't a reaction to the shot, that he was probably just sick or teething. SO guess who gets to make a second trip to Jackson Peds??? My whole plan/theory on combining the kids' shots in one visit has backfired. blah.

Thank goodness Ryan will be home by then and it will just be mr. man and I.

Happy MONDAY!

the latest.

Dang I've got some major catch up to do! Especially since I have my whole family reading my blog now (as a way of keeping up with our incredibly exciting lives ((sarcasm)) Anyways.... HI MOM & DAD! Here's what's been going on:

Henry is now a crawling ninja master. He is everywhere- all the time. I'll be in a room somewhere and hear a "SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!" Peaking out the door, there's my bub barreling down the hallway. How and WHY do they grow so fast?!?!

Maeve is still adjusting to life without nana & poppa (and Bindi AND Mandy AND Willy AND gigi AND uncle Al AND uncle Ty AND aunt Emi AND aunt Meggie- who's in Mississippi). Each and every morning without fail, she announces where everyone is- she starts with Nana and works her way through the whole family- confirming that yes, they are still in Florida, Meghan is still in Mississippi and Dadda is at work.

Speaking of work (and dada).... Ryan's new job started last Monday and he's... happy but overwhelmed. (shhhh... don't tell him I told you that! :) It's definitely an adjustment to go from a company of 10-12 people to a company of HUNDREDS. He used that old analogy and told me he feels like a small fish in a big pond... such is life I guess. I, on the other hand, am LOVING his new job. Not only am I soaking up the eye and dental benefits we now get, but I also like that hmmm... around 3/4? or so, Ryan comes walking in the door. It kind of blows my mind that he is working in Ann Arbor but getting home (on a regular basis) earlier than he ever did at Culligan. The latest he'd work is 4 PM but he usually gets out at 3. This past week there was a cookout and he was "dismissed" at noon. Pretty sweet! :)

Another great thing about Ryan's job are the vacation days. Yes- he did get vacation days at Culligan but Ryan's sick/vacation days reminded me of those credit card commercials- there were "black out dates" and basically so many rules and "ifs ands or butts" that it wasn't even worth trying to argue for time off. At the U of M job, we have already marked off our big vacation in May- without even a "please, may I?" :) He's taking 9 vacation days and we're doing a GIANT Florida vacay. 4/5 days/nights at Disney... then a solid week in St. Augustine with my family. I am already counting down. In fact, at dinner tonight, Maeve asked when we were going to Disney- Ryan and I smiled and said "Let the countdown begin!" 7 months people! 7 months!

Maeve keeps me smiling and laughing- Ryan said he thinks she's suddenly taken off this week with her vocabulary- I don't see a real distinct difference, but he seems to think she's using a lot more words. I have noticed she wants to know what EVERYTHING is. She asks what each and every song is that comes on the radio. She asks what everything is around the house. It's like she's just soaking it all in... Her new favorite thing to do is the classic "doctor/patient" game. AKA- I (or Ryan or poor baby Henry) gets pinned down and poked, prodded, squeezed, etc. It's absolutely hilarious and usually goes something like this:
Maeve: "Oh you so sick Momma? Go to the doctor and feel so better?"

Me: "Okay.... check me out."

Maeve: "Any questions today?"

Me: "Is this going to hurt?"

Maeve: "Yes."

Me: "Wahhhhhh!"

Maeve: "No tears momma."
And let me warn you- if you crack a smile and break "character", she says "NO. This hurts!"

Potty training with Maeve is really hit or miss. One day she is ALL about it- using the potty (I swear) 20 times a day!?!?! Smiling, as she's earning her "pee pee candy." Then the next day- its done. She wants nothing to do with the potty- not even the candy. SO WEIRD. Although I've heard its normal... I would think though, that after experiencing pooping in the potty that pooping in your pants would feel really gross. Apparently she doesn't think so.

Henry is saying "MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMA" in this deep, manly voice ALL.DAY.LONG. But I love it :) Maeve tries to get him to say "MAE MAE MAE MAE"- she gets so frustrated when he just keeps saying "MAMAMAMA" :) Henry is also waving "bye" and "hi"- he clenches his fingers in and out and says in a really high pitched voice "HIIIIIIIIII!"

Me.... well I have finished with the acupuncture (kind of sad...) I will be getting the occasional "adjustment" but no more weekly appointments. Overall, I do have to say I feel better. Although at my last appointment Dr.Bigelow had me take that stupid asthma test- where you blow into that meter thing... I failed. FAILED! He thought I was joking around and had me do it 3 times. There was no joking... I really couldn't move the thing past the 300 mark. Which means that.... I am using 75% of my lung capacity. To be considered asthmatic, you'd need to be at or below 50%. So he didn't put me on any asthma meds. Instead he ordered a chest x-ray to check on my lungs and nodules. Hmmm... kind of nerve wracking. But I'd do just about anything to get the whole breathing issue solved and figured out.

Ryan asked me last night how far apart I wanted Henry and "the next baby to be." I looked at him like he had 4 eyeballs. He then reminded me that if indeed, we wanted our kids to be 2 years apart (which is what we've said) that would put me being preggo around December or so... HAHA- nope that's not happening. I guess Henry and "next baby" will be a little farther apart. I'm really not into the back to back to back pregnancy thing. I don't carry baby weight well... I don't get rid of baby weight well. And to be completely, gut wrenching honest with you all, I don't really enjoy pregnancy. SO.... with that said- I remember having this same conversation when Maeve was about 14 months- it wasn't more than 2 months later and Henry (known as the turkey at that time) made his presence known on a pregnancy test. If it would've been up to me (at that time- in that moment), I would have spaced Maeve and Henry out more. But ultimately, its not. And I am SO, SO thankful for God's big surprises in life. Uhhhh, but here's to hoping that there won't be any really " BIG surprises" for awhile ;)

Lastly- I am FINALLY having my stuuuuuuuupid garage sale this weekend. FINALLY! Yes- I know I am "the girl who cried garage sale." But really- its this weekend or never. And if you've seen my garage you know its gotta be this weekend!

That's about all I got for ya... I hope everyone had a good weekend :) Safe week!

Update on the KIDS :)

This past week has been spent playing with and organizing all the toys Maeve & Henry got for Christmas. By far, Maeve's favorite "toy" was given to her by my grandma, her "Gigi." It's this light up jewelry box that is FULL of "pretty-fulls." Maeve takes each and every bracelet on and off, one by one. It's adorable to watch... and again, makes me feel so blessed to have a girl- and a girly girl at that! :)



My BOY is doing some new things lately too- check out Henry's latest and greatest accomplishments:
Here's Henry mastering the art of screaming for more milk.


Here's the dude working so hard to lift up that big noggin of his.


Henry threatening his first punch... and thinking "Maeve if you take my nuk one more time..." :)



And he's of course, practicing the art of lounging on the couch & watching football.


I am having such a blast with these two- even on the hardest days, I go to bed feeling like I am the luckiest woman alive. :)

Connections & "It's My Obession"

So the fall pictures didn't quite work out today- I had every good intention of taking Maeve to the park, but I thought I'd stop by the good ol' toy house on the way to let her pick out a book- one of her latest "obessions." Time totally got away and we ended up spending an hour, picking out toys for Christmas, reading books and playing with all the stuffed animals. I left it completely up to Maeve as to what book she wanted- as well as what toy she wanted (obviously if it was like 100 bucks we weren't gettin it!) Luckilly it wasn't- here is what we came out with: A blue bird that makes chirping noises, a small plastic baby doll and a book about farms. Hmm... interesting choices huh? :) I thought it was adorable though- it totally showed her personality... she LOVES animals, books and babies. Almost any kind of animal will get her attention- all you have to say is "Maeve! Meow,Meow! Look at that kitty!" Or "Woof Woof! Puppies Maeve!" Anyways at the Toy House, they have these giant life size animals of every sort- mostly puppies and kittys but they also have birds, girrafes, alligators, you name it! They're GIANT and expensive, but I am seriously considering putting one on layaway for Christmas. Its too adorable watching her run from animal to animal, petting them and saying "awwwwwww!"


Another thing shes been doing lately is making CONNECTIONS :) It may not sound like a big deal, but to watch her put two and two together, is really exciting. She has a toy telephone that she pretends to talk on- just a couple of weeks ago she had no idea what to do with it. She also makes matches- she has these 2 bugs from that move "Bug Life" and out of her ENTIRE stack of stuffed animals she will dig around until she finds those exact two. Or my favorite, in the mornings when I put on make up and get ready, she'll grab make up brushes out of my drawer and pretend to put make up on her face. It is soooooo adorable! I'm hoping that in 6 months or so she will start making some connections with the potty!!!

Also, I wanted to make a list of Maeve's "obsessions."

-dogs
-stuffed animals
-books
-bottles
-this sting ray toy we got at Disney
-wipes

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
