Little moment...

Look at her hand....that is my engagement ring. She picked it up off the floor. I love how big it is on her little finger and what it represents...without that, she wouldn't be here.

Can I preserve a stalk of celery?

For a few weeks now, Reagan has been entertained by chewing on/playing with a stalk of celery. (She's bored with it now because she can't really eat it.) One day when I went to throw a piece away I noticed she had made teeth marks on it....from her two little teeth on the bottom. It looked like a beaver had gotten to it. It was so precious! I wanted to keep the stalk...but I didn't.

I have made my first "rip off" sheet! You see these all the time and now I've made my own. I've posted one at the local YMCA, one in the break room at dad's office and another on a community board at mom & dad's church. Here's a link with more information!!!!

Baby Girl + Daddy = Sweet Times

We're missing him!

(He's been at a men's retreat since Thursday.)

Bad habits starting young...

1. addiction to sweets (Its generational!)
2. having a temper


So, Reagan is venturing into real food. We've been experimenting with a variety of food...it's been really fun to see her reaction to things. I was eating a large frozen marshmallow the other day while I was holding Reagan. She, of course, was very interested in what I was eating...like always. So I thought I would give her her own to try...too big to choke on. I thought she might lick it and be done with it. WRONG!!!!! (see #1 above)


She grabbed that sucker and hung on for dear life!!!! She sucked and gummed and used those little teeth as best she could. She was working on it so hard she started to foam marshmallow from the mouth. I was dying to get a picture, but had a hard time doing so. (See below.) I decided to quickly sit her on the floor and snap a picture. I guess she put her arms down to steady herself and kept sucking/devouring away.....the marshmallow just sticking out of her mouth like a cork on a bottle.


I then began to feel bad for giving her such a horrible treat at such a young age....I took it from her and finished it for her. :) I thought maybe she was too young to really care. WRONG!!! (see #2 above)

Couldn't be cuter! Moments I wouldn't miss for the world!!!!!

*I*C*E* & ASHLEY!

Last month, we made a family day trip to Orlando. We were also taking Arwyn to the airport. Mom wanted to take the kids (Gabrielle, Ethan, & Jaden) and Arwyn to see ICE. (Nice idea, but not very practical.) Jon, Rea and I didn't go...too cold for Rea and Jon & I didn't want to spend the money on that. We walked around the Gaylord Palms instead which is an adventure in itself. We took a few pics outside ICE while we were waiting for the them. These are for you Kim!

Then we went and saw my friend Ashley's beautiful high rise downtown. We went to dinner and had a good time catching up. THEN...when we got back to our car...we had received a ticket for parking towards the flow of traffic! We don't do city parking...how were we suppose to know? At that hour and on the little street....there wasn't any traffic! Who cares how we park? It was a lesson learned!
