one more Sam!

Sam still isn't mobile but I wanted to show you how hard he is trying to roll over.

That is as far as Sam got.  He never did roll over but I did shift the toy a bit closer for him to reach.  Brian has a new favorite song/video.  It is called the Lazy Song, Bruno Mars.  Sometimes I am afraid it might be the soundtrack for Sam's laziness.

way to go daddy!

I know the picture is hard to see BUT it is Brian's report card for this last Spring Semester!  A-!!!! Way to go Brian! Only two years left till you have your Masters in Computer Nerdism!  Hard to believe that Sam will be turning 3 when you graduate.  Do you think we will make it?  So proud of you!  Love you! Your biggest fan, Mo

Quote of the day-

As I think about next year and having Lucia go to school I start to wonder who I will talk to all day!  My answer- Lukas.  So I was quite worried about this fact although my feelings have been starting to change.  As you will see from the "quote of the day" there is hope, my days next year might be more exciting that I first thought!

Setting the scene- Lukas, and Lucia and I were looking at the family picture at the bottom of the blog.
Lukas- "there we all are"
Me "no Sam though"
Lucia "well that is because we didn't have Sam then"
Lukas "yeah, that is when Sadie was a baby.  That is when she was nice."

Check mate my friend, two points for Lukas.

Fashionista

What is the fashionista wearing to the bus stop as summer approaches?

Well today Lucia was strutting the red flirty mini dress with plaid shorts, topped off with clear banded high heels with a purple flower. I keep trying to explain why she can't wear those shoes in public but none of my reason hold up against her debate.

Can't wait to see the twist she will put on her Catholic School uniform!

Samuel

Enjoy this picture of Samuel- I am going to be posting pictures of the other monsters around here as they are all coming into epic moment's in life- Graduating kindergarten, moving on to 2nd grade, being kicked out of preschool and turning 4!  Sadie- she will just keep being Sadie!  Maybe by the time I post another picture of Sam he will be mobile, probably not though.

Future Reference for Samuel's Spouse-

Future reference for Sam's spouse- Sam LOVES LOVES LOVES his feet and hands rubbed with a warm wash cloth.  Brian video taped it a few nights ago.  In the video Samuel is VERY horse sounding.  It is due to bad acid reflux which we just started treating.  He is already improving.  He doesn't sound as horse and he is coughing less.

here is the link- yes- I know the counter is cluttered.

I know you all love my "side notes"  Here is another....as most of you know our house is for sale.  Sadly, the house we really liked and have stayed up late talking about where we would put the Christmas tree in the "new house" sold.  Tonight, we drove by it and yup- SOLD was hanging from the bottom of the sign.  We are sure God has the right house out there, we just feel bad He didn't know we like this one!  Oh well- time to find a new answer to our prayers.  Now with nothing fitting our "non-picky" criteria we are feeling a bit lost.  Maybe we are already in the perfect house for us?  sigh- what to do from here?

when ya got to go-

Today is just a simple life lesson my kids have taught me so I am passing it on to you....underpants are over rated and life is much easier without them!  And sometimes you deserve the treat before the work.  As you can see by the chocolate on her face, this time the reward was before the potty.  Shirts can be worn which ever way you like, even if it mean everyone sees the bow and embroidery as you walk away.  Bonus note about the picture is hot water heat register doubles as a foot stool and toilet paper holder makes a good handle!

I am currently TRYING to upload a video of Sam so you might want to check back later to see if I got it to work!
