New Toy

I really like Pa's new measuring "toy".




New Doggy Digs

No more kennels for Brownie & Red, they have their own "room" now! Although Red has already demonstrated he can jump over the gates.

Best Song Ever Written?

We listen to a classic rock music station in my office all day every day and a question occurred to me while listening today.  What would you consider the best song ever written?  That's it, no limitations, no stipulations, no additional information needed.  As I mentioned, we listen to classic rock at work all day and I listen to country music most of the time I am in my car.  I also listen to a bit of a variety when it comes to my vinyl record collection but lately it's mostly folk or "easy listening" type stuff like John Denver.  Anyway, as I pondered how I would respond to this question over the course of the day in between tasks there was only one possible answer that came to mind...



So...what would your answer be?

No More Sippy Cup (maybe)


Monkey got some "big girl cups" this weekend.

Mommy Blogs!

Greetings Family & friends. Mama here. Sorry we've been so absent lately, we haven't been doing much we consider blogworthy. But here's a quick rundown.

Monkey finished her first round of swim lessons. I think she finished swim lessons more afraid than she started. She's still our little mermaid and loves to BE in the water. But she's not a big fan of GETTING in the water. Her teacher has them jump from the edge and our little noodle is not so great at the jumping. She'll get it.

Pa is busy with work and life and seeing to the whims and wackiness of a hormonal wife and two year old daughter. Bless his heart. He's a wonderful house husband and keeps everything running smoothly despite a full schedule at work and the aforementioned crazy women. We're lucky to have him.

I am winding down this baby-making business. I have about 30 more days until Deuce is scheduled to make her debut and I am READY. I mean, I want her to be fully cooked and strong and healthy and ready, but I also very much want to be done. I've almost got myself convinced that my office won't actually burst into flames or crumble to dust while I'm gone, so now it's just about getting everything ready.

Deuce is growing. Which is exactly what she should be doing. Everyone keeps telling me I'm "so small" which is kind of giving me a complex. There are only so many cookies one woman can eat ya know? Our doctor says I'm about a centimeter smaller than average but I seem to remember the same being true of Monkey and she turned out pretty great so I'm not worried. Right now Deuce's favorite thing is pushing as hard as she can against my belly until I feel like I'm about to go all Alien up in here.

And that's about it. We'll post more pictures of baby preparations as they progress and of anything else that seems noteworthy.

We hope you're all well!

Love,
Ma

Happy Valentine's Day!

Monkey got a basketball hoop so she doesn't have to use her hamper anymore.


Ma got the fryer that she didn't get for Christmas.


And Pa got a new hat.
