We've moved!!

Ok, we haven't really moved.  Our blog has moved.  :)

Check out the new blog at http://brighthope4tomorrow.blogspot.com/!!!

Merry Christmas!!

I love books!!

Danielle is getting to a stage where she absolutely loves books! She'll actually sit and let me read a few pages before getting distracted, but she really enjoys "reading" them to herself in her sweet babble. I love it!!

Why?

Why in the world would I take a picture of formula???

EW!!

Peter: Mommy! Look what I found!! It's a big, giant worm!!

Mommy: Peter, come here so I can see it a little better. EW!! Peter!! That's a snake!! Please put it down!

It was a snake. It was dead. He did put it down - in an ant bed by the sidewalk. He said that he wanted to feed the ants. How nice of him.

Welcome to life with a curious little boy!!

Homer

Homer has been a part of our family since he was just 8 weeks old. He and Peter had a rough relationship at first, but they are now best buddies!! Because Homer has had time to get used to being handled a bit more rough than he might prefer, he does better with Danielle now than he did with Peter at the beginning. Danielle is fascinated by watching Homer, and she is slowly learning how to pet him nicely. :) "Mommy ~ Please, please, please can I play outside? Homer gets to play outside! I want to go outside with him!!"

"Mommy ~ First I peed in the yard just like Homer. Then we had fun sunbathing together. Where are my pants and underwear? I throwed them inside the kitchen!"

I love Homer, and I love that the kids love Homer, but I wish Homer would recognize that his role in this household is that of soft and furry friend instead of teacher!!

***Peter decided to poop out in the yard today. Whether or not that had to do with Homer and the fact that dogs poop in the yard, I'll never know. What I do know is that our yard is not a bathroom for humans, and we are now working very hard to teach our son this!!!!!

The Stairs

Guess who discovered the stairs? Guess who sits at the top and encourages her to climb?

Our house will never be the same!!
