Visitors

This weekend Matt and Anna came to visit us! It was WONDERFUL to see them and spend time with them. The kids keep asking me 5 million times a day when we are going to see them again, hopefully soon. They are in the process of buying a house in Rhode Island and I think Lewis is just about ready to buy one down the street from them now. We couldn't talk them into moving in across the street from us, but we still had a great time with them.

Yesterday the new "AAMOS membership directory" came in the mail. It lists all of the oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the country and where they practice. This means hours of fun for Lewis. He takes the directory and looks at different places he would like to live. We can really go just about anywhere when we are finally out of residency, but some places don't really need another oral surgeon. I know we still have lots of time to decide, but so far choosing a place to live has been like choosing our children's names---not easy. Who knows where we will end up.

I heart giraffes

maybe it's the looooooooonnnnnnnnggggg neck.

(P.S. for Lewis because you didn't answer your phone and I know you check the blog:
Tonight is one of those "potential for severe weather" nights.
It is pouring so Georgia won't go to the bathroom.
She is in her crate.
I hope she doesn't make a big mess for me to clean up.)

(she is happy in this picture, laughing actually. and just sitting in her stroller happy to just sit and watch the kids ride their bikes around the parking lot)

I also adore 9 month old babies. Especially gentle, mild, sweet ones. Especially ones that are happy to be wherever we drag her. Especially ones that never cry or make life more stressful. We are blessed to have her in our family. She really is "the great".
Just try and tell me you don't want to smooch those cheeks!

Spring break in pictures

We had a great and busy week with Aiden home last week. She sure keeps us on our toes! However, I think she was brainwashing Brooks secretly because on the way home from dropping her off at school today he started crying and saying "I don't want to go to school next year when I'm four because I don't want to go to the office."







This scary tiger tried to attack my children who were standing RIGHT up against the glass at the time.

Did I hear someone say they were thinking about getting a dog?

Well, let me fix that for you my friend!! Today was the last straw for good old Jimmy. He bites Brooks every day and has been breaking the skin, so he had to go back. I hope a good family will adopt him. A good family with no little kids to bite. But don't worry my friends because we still have Georgia for me to clean up after. You see, Georgia bites I mean EATS holes through everything. I was thinking about starting a new blog to put pictures of the things she destroys every day but I'm too lazy. Here's from a few days ago. Usually I'm too mad to take a picture. The first picture is a basket she likes to eat. Next is a thing I made to keep the cold air from coming into our apartment in Conn. I used it here to keep the garage smell from taking over the basement. It was full of rice which is "super duper in the trooper" (as Brooks would say) fun to clean up. Oh yeah, and see that nice soft comfy blue pillow we put in her crate, it's been ripped to smithereens too.

Brooks is playing soccer this season too.

It's soccer season again....

go black panthers!! (that's the team name they chose, I swear)
