Question?

Does anyone have shovel I can borrow? I need it to shovel the air into my lungs today!

Bikes and Apples and Teeth

We bought Mia a bike this weekend. She learned to ride on Matt's little bike and I could not believe that she could actually ride it. But, she loves it. All week she has asked to ride it first thing in the morning. Actually (side-note), this morning, she asked to go to the Apple Barn. Apples are here. The Apple Barn in Chatham picked their first bunches of Gala Apples today. Be sure to go there and get some next time you are around. Anyway, back to the bike, we would have waited until Christmas or her birthday to get her such a big gift, but then she would have to wait months before she could ride it. So, we're not just trying to spoil her. That is the bad thing about winter B-days. Next year, my kids are having 1/2 b-day parties, so don't think I'm weird when you get party invites in June and July. NJ



Jack is getting another tooth already. This kid has got to slow down with the teeth, take a couple days break. I can't have my boy being addicted to Tylenol and Baby-Orajel.

Jack's New Trick

I knew before Jack was born that he was going to be an active boy. He constantly moved in the womb. Sometimes, I could literally hear him move, seriously! Well, Jack learned a new trick today. We were sitting in the LR, Jack was crawling around as usual, he just never stops moving! He had inched his way into the kitchen, when all the sudden, we hear the screen door. I went to go see what he was doing, only to find that he had opened the door and went outside to play!

HMMM?

Well, I guess I should shave today. I was painting Mia's toes in her favorite shade of pink. Meanwhile, Mia was rubbing my legs. I heard her say, "That's disgusting." I said, "What is?" She just pointed to my legs.

It's Raining. It's Pouring.

We went on a walk tonight after dinner. It was so gorgeous outside. The kids were snug in the stroller, both sucking their thumbs, both holding on to their blankies. Jack actually feel asleep. THEN, then, it began to POUR. Luckily we were just a hundred and a half meter dash away from my Uncle Mark's house and his garage was open. We slipped into the garage, but Heath said don't knock or anything because the rain was going to pass soon and he didn't want to get the kids out of the stroller. Next thing you know, Heath is looking around the corner of the garage to see if he can see anyone inside, and my 4 year year old cousin was coming out the door. She saw him, shut the door, and ran. Then, a second later, Anette opens the door the the garage. OK, so what would you do if you walked out into your garage and there were people standing there in the dark? I am pretty sure that we scared the BG's out of them. I felt so silly. And it ended up raining for so long that we had to get a ride home.

Thanks, Roger

We took an Amish buggy ride at my Dad's this weekend. It was really simple and relaxing. You can totally tell that my Dad has lived in the country his whole life because he acknowledged and engaged in conversation w/ EVERYONE we passed on the way. Funny. Mia loved it because the horse kept passing gas the whole time. I was just praying that Roger the horse wasn't going to die pulling all of us. When we got back to my the house Mia was chasing baby chicks and got attacked by a hen and then got electrocuted on the horse pen. What an experience.

Getting Big

Jack has two new teeth. It's about time!
