Why I love this picture

-my hubby is home again
-I am not the only one having to lay down the law
-there is compassion in many ways, first you can tell Reese is sad her father is disappointed in her which shows love. Also, Karl's posture to attempt to met Reese at her level shows he cares enough to make sure she understands him.
-this is a discussion with quiet tones. For Reese, that is the only way to get through to her, and her daddy gets that (most of the time)
-he has her in a secluded area so it doesn't involve anyone but them, again show love and patience.
-so ironically this disciplinary picture makes me very happy!

But so do these






And well this too ;)

Long time, no see

Well I have taken a month hiatus from blogging...so it is time for a catch up post. Fasten your seat belt, you are in for a wild ride.

Since we last spoke, we have...

danced in two recitals

 gotten married for the 983rd time

 tie dyed shirts and onesies

 painted ourselves with colored vanilla pudding

 let the wind blow through our hair

 taken the time to enjoy each other's company

 watched a little television

 welcomed Daddy home...

 ...then said good-bye three days later

 put our pudgy toes in the sand

 caught up with MC crew

enjoyed story time with pop pop

designed cake masterpieces 

saved Koi fish from the brink of starvation 

enjoyed each other a little more 

 found a lense cap...

... and solved the mystery of where is belongs

 added 'duck' to our vocabulary

 created our rural version of krispy kreme

tried out for the circus, got rejected

 played a game of six year old socialite diva

 discovered our third type A personality in the fam

 buried dogs in the sand

 attempted a family shot...

 ...somewhat successful

increased the country's metal emissions 

 attempted to save the grass from the attacking sprinkler

 skipped backyards in our July 4th parade that only we attended

 but it was a parade a lot were sorry to have missed

 there were even patriotic parade princesses

 rocked our new hairdos

 visited with our first Navy BFFs

 took a shower outside

 readjusted our smiles

 readjusted our hallway wall

 discovered the advantages of mobility

 experimented with the load capacity of the radio flyer

 breastfed and watched breastfeeding

did a little school supply shopping

completed the complexity of all three girls chasing the same boy

 babysat

 wore GP out

 enjoyed the view from up there

 squealed at the sight of our main man

 proved that walking is overrated, just climb instead...

 ...or drive, really

 attempted to cuddle with daddy, it at least smelled like him

 did PT on second floor banister

 celebrated our anniversary together, kinda

 sailed through the Panama Canal, yes one of us really did!

 found our inner picasa 

 altered our smile again

 played hide and seek

 tried to be a fish.

So now you know why we haven't been at this darn computer!

Now off to zoo camp tomorrow!
