Houston...We Have Liftoff!

Well I got punished for not updating the blog on at least a weekly basis and she threatened me with taking her blog back if I didn't. So...

Last week we had 'Crazy Day' for play group and I totally forgot about it. It was a good thing I got her dressed that morning because she looked good anyway.


Sammy is growing up so fast and now is nearly crawling around. He loves to make noise by screaming really loud and/or throw toys from his high chair. Once the toy crashes to the ground, he looks up at me and giggles; so much like his mother.


I am not sure how I get myself into certain situations but yesterday I found myself on the upstream side of a rope pulling Andy across the yard multiple times. Yes it might make her day but all I could remember about the experience was silently singing the lyrics to 'Here comes the ox cart, oh how slow'. Once all the energy was drained, I fell to the ground gasping for air as Andy gets off the sled, kisses my forehead, and tells me 'Your all better now...Let's do it again!'


Yesterday we went with the scouts to fire off some model rockets for the Space Exploration merit badge; we lost one and destroyed 2 others = Good times.

Anywho, Andy was very upset about not being able to go so we went this morning and fired off a few. This is what she does when you say 'Smile Pretty!'. Isn't it nice to have a girl.

Looking at a blog without commenting is a form of piracy - if you read someone elses' blog and do not comment, you are doing one of two things:

1) stalking that person and do not want him/her to know or
2) you're not being honest with your fellow man

It's just not right! :(

OK, guilt me into responding....sounds like you:) It's great to see that Thad got some of his old mom in him (his dad wouldn't have tackled two small children, even his own, and had me go to work)! You are a very nurturing and an endangering father...what a combo! Hope Brit is enjoying her new work as much as you are:) You are both awesome parents, and this only proves it:) Love, momb
