Announcement

I am 12 weeks pregnant. The due date is August 11, 09. We are very excited. Little man kisses my belly and says hi sister (he is convinced it is a girl). We have promised him we will tell him that we will tell him when we know if he is getting a brother or a sister. I am doing really well, just really tired. Wish me luck.

Child Labor Laws: Important

I am happy that I do not have the life that requires toddlers to do anything. I would really feel like I was a cat wrangler trying to get little fingers to do work. Not having to makes it fun to pretend that we really work. The luxury of a tap that runs water. Now put some elbow grease into it boy!

Easter Eggs

I think I had a boy. Those eggs on the bottom are real eggs. I didn't use them for deviled eggs.

Scoop up my boy.

He is growing so fast. I am a little nostalgic for the now that will be the past in the future. I googled old highschool friends tonight. Never a good sign. I only found one, well one of the 2 I remember their names. then I found these pictures on the web and that didn't help my nostalgia at all. Little big man's favorite yoga pose is the Sunflower. I reach to the sky then I dive down and say "scoop up my boy" as I pick him up. He laughs and yells "again mama, scoop up my boy?"

Merry Yuletide

Santa has been a topic of conversation in our house for the past, well since the tree went up. Aido is very excited. I got some photos taken. He got tubes placed in his ears last Wednesday. He has been moving at warp 4 every since! He has been very loving too, I think he feels lots better. To me there is nothing sweeter than an I love you Mama and his thin little arms wrapping around my neck with a cheek to cheek kiss. Sigh!

Past Summer

My boys of summer. Too cool to smile for the camera. Beautiful even if they do give me WTF looks.

Links to Photos

Working 5 days a week is a bitch. I am tired and I miss my son and husband. So I am steeling some time from sleep to point to some recent pictures. Last weekend was a wedding that my husband was the best man at.

Here are my darling boys toes. Here is a plum. The outside of which looks like my hair color. Deep cherry chocolate. I am restless. I need a large body of water to splash in. I need a long weekend with my family lounging in warm water and padding around in flip flops and a robe. I need fruity drinks. I need a holiday. -- love, belle "wild eyed" manda

My new Toy! and more Fair

Here is my new toy. Isn't is shiny and pretty? I get to ride a bike again.

Birthday!

The big 2 and don't we know it!

Boy being a Boy

What do you think a boy would do first thing if there was a full ditch of rushing water in their backyard?

I say to Aido, this is our house, our home. so now when i say it is our house (or if he says it) he corrects us and says "no home"

Listening Intently.

Ready for Lift Off!

Aido had a great time at Borders on Saturday. "Auntie" Linda read him a story and he sat and listened very well. She was impressed. He is going to have such a big ego if I don't cut it out, but I just love him so much and it is amazing to me how much he knows and wants to learn.

I have purchased my copy of Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows. I am putting off reading it because I am a big baby and I don't want the series to be over. I want to savour it, luckily with 794 pages I should be able to stretch it out!

Happy birthday mama!

Aido loved the cake. My favorite Angel Food and Strawberries. It was a wonderful party. Everyone had fun.

Twinsies

So my NEW CAMERA (for my birthday) is not a mega zoom. It is a Canon Powershot SD1000 and I like it. I am waiting for a 2 gig card to show up so I can take more than 9 pictures without downloading them. It has many neat features, but my favorite is that is seems to take great quality photos.


The first photo is a deer and her twins. It took all of the 12x combined digital and optical to pull that off and it is still rather impressionist. I like it, however because it looks like art. And really who can resist taking a picture of a horses bum? and my aido. I love the little poser, I am so glad he is feeling better and the antibiotics for his ear infection seem to be working. I hope what they say is right and kids go through all the sicknesses in daycare or in preschool. I hope he stays better for the rest of... well his life. I hate seeing him sick.

UPDATE on Little Big Man

No beer for me last night. I stayed vigilant the whole night and slept in the bedroom with little big man's crib. He has no burns. Hey, please send good thoughts my way. I need a good day here soon. Thanks. Love you.

Ready Set Go. Walk the Round.
