Remember that movie?

Mother's Day Weekend

Jack has reached the age, much to my dismay, where he refuses to sit still for pictures. Depending on his mood he will either snuggle up to you or squirm to break free. The pictures speak for themselves!

Happy Mother's Day!

Give Peas A Chance

Ok, so I admit, I hate peas. Last night Dave had to attend a work function so Jack and I were on our own for dinner. In an effort to not impart my aversions on my son, I decided to give Jack a toddler-type tv dinner complete with peas. It was pretty funny. First of all, he kept calling them balls. I tried to correct him and say, "No, those are peas." You could see the confusion on his face and then he would start singing the alphabet. He's right--the only "P" he knows follows that weird sequence of Emmanenno. Anyway, he started picking them out one at a time and dropping them on his tray as if to boycott. I can't say I blame him.

Happy Friday.

Fancy Nancy

While we were in Florida we had a chance to visit with my cousin Joanie and aunt Ann. It was so great to see them (and their new pup)! Joanie is a great reader. While we were there she had to dress up for school as one of her favorite book characters...hence, Fancy Nancy. I think "Fancy Nancy" definitely takes after her mother. She has a flair for the dramatic. :) Bonjour Madam!

"What do you think this is...your birthday?!"

My grandpa (dad's father) always used to say this on our birthdays. So, I have to carry on the tradition. Happy Birthday David! Did you know the name "David" means beloved? I think that's pretty accurate. You're the best. 365 days until you're officially old.

Hi Uncle Keh-Keh

Kevin has been over in Iraq since January. Between his job over there and school, he's been keeping very busy! But, with the wonders of technology, I still manage to catch him on instant messenger from time to time. We miss him and can't wait till he comes home. In the meantime, Jack and I made a quick video to say hello. Incidentally Jack says the word "Kevin" the same way he says the word "cracker." We're looking forward to seeing Kevin and Nicole in July. And by the way, how awesome is my sister-in-law to manage the home, their dog and the inclement Arkansas weather while Kevin's away? We love you both!

PS Sorry I couldn't turn the video

PPS Excuse our home--we had to set up the air mattress because Dave painted our bedroom over the weekend. The fumes were a bit much.
