Camera Cord Mystery

It's amazing how one small piece of wires can disrupt a blog for so long....

So What Do Your Kids Like to Do for Fun?

A few posts ago, I introduced "The Pit". Since that time, it has r...a..i...n...e...d...Needless to say, "The Pit" was filled with water. Now, water mixed with clay-dirt=THICK sludge. The boys decided that today "The Pit" was a swimming pool. This is what happens when a boy's imagination takes over!

I am a "Man" again today....

One of the amazing things about living in this area is the HUGE diversity of languages and cultures. I've come to expect it. In fact, when I happen to be in an area with a smaller ethnically diverse group, I start to notice.
I walk Ethan to school every morning. Because of the regular walking trek, I have begun to expect to see certain things. House #775 leaving for work; bus #260 at the bus stop; my neighbors car which leaks terribly covered with the newest rain proof goo, tarp, or today clear plastic wrap...There is someone else that I have started to look forward to seeing each morning. I have come to fondly call her "the man woman." Almost every school morning without fail, she and I cross paths going in opposite directions. I try to say good morning to everyone I pass and she is no exception. The only difference is that we see each other almost daily. So as we pass we greet each other with what has become our standard practice, "Good Morning" but my friend the "man woman" adds a little something special. I haven't the nerve to correct her nor do I think that she will actually understand me but she says, "Good Morning, Man" (instead of ma'am)...It makes me smile every morning. So I have become her "man" and she mine. Gotta love it!

Merry Christmas

This had all of us laughing and Margaret not quite sure what was going on and threw in a few laughs to be polite...

What Kind of Flower are You?

So this was kind of fun. I have actually NEVER before ever heard of this flower but it is supposed to be me.....

Seven Months Old

I can't believe that Margaret Elise will be seven months old tomorrow! I was just getting used to the fact that she was 6 months old. She is coming along. She doesn't really roll over. Her therapists and I decided that she has no real motivation to roll over because she really can't see well. She is more content to be on her back-it's obviously easier too. She is doing much better propping herself up on her arms while on her belly and is also coming along with sittin gby herself. She eats well. She is getting used to solid foods and really enjoys it.

Halloween Costumes

This is the first year that I think Ethan wasn't a superhero in years! He decided that he wanted to be a knight. Greyson wanted to be a scary skeleton-and he was! My mom laughed that there were so many bones and asked if they were anatomically correct. Well, yeah. Of course. How else was I supposed to do it? Margaret Elise was a baby tiger.
