its my little deuce coupe...

"you don't know what i got!" Thought I'd start this post off with some Beach Boys lyrics. Last Saturday the sun was shining, a good omen for a GREAT day! Michael and Blaine had a kind of daddy/son date to the car show, which they both loved...and I love them!!!

what better gift?

I ask you, really. My lil man in a box :)....potty trained! hahahahaha Seriously, it's the best thing ever! He is one super pooper, lol. love you and miss you all~

how much is that doggie in the window?

chocolate lab



shetland sheepdogs



puggle



When Michael is done with school and we're in our own house again, we'll be getting Blaine a doggie! We wanted him to be old enough to help take care of him/her. These are the three types of dogs we're looking at. I'm WAY leaning towards the shetland sheepdog. They're gentle, smart...and just the right size :). What do you all think? Kelly, I know you have ideas...am I right in thinking you'd pick the chocolate lab? lol.

ode to my son...

I love it when he wakes me up in the morning....I hear the pitter patter of chubby feet.
When he's frustrated with me and breaks down in tears, I like to pick him up and hold him close until he likes me again.
The warmth of his hand when he places it in mine is joy, even if it means we're just crossing the street.
I'll kiss his boo boos and he'll calm down immediately. He kisses my boo boos and makes me smile.
He's my shadow when I vacuum.
When he's tired, happy, or sad...he loves to stroke my hair so soft it almost lulls me to sleep.
And I really love it when he feels comfortable enough and safe enough to fall asleep on my lap.
From beginning to end.
