Not The Wall

A few months ago Emma surprised us all by walking into the kitchen and saying, "look my name".  And sure enough that little genius spelled her name without any help on a piece of paper.  Fast forward to the other day when she decided to autograph the laundry room wall in marker.  Now here's a dilemma...in our laundry room we mark the kids growth on the wall.  So in pencil there are their names with dates showing how much they're grown.  So I say to Emma, "what are you doing writing on the wall?" and she says to me that she measured herself and that's how tall she is today.  So there I stand thinking that's a pretty logical answer so now what???  I took a deep breath, had a little "inside" chuckle and said, "that's good that you can measure yourself, however, we only do that with Mommy or Daddy present and we use a pencil."  Even as I share this story I'm laughing.  It was seriously one of those priceless Mommy moments.  Life is good.


And who could be mad at this face?

Here We Go Again

We've been making excellent use of our Christmas gift from Uncle Chris and heading to the zoo very regularly.  The new Orangutan exhibit is amazing and the kids love the children's area.  Beno and I just love spending time with each other and the kids.
