Johnny Greenback

Meet our little friend, Johnny Greenback!

We found him in our back yard last week before we finally mowed the grass.

He is a Pacific Freefrog, and he is cute!

We let him go home after bothering him for a bit, 

but we hope to see him or his family again soon.

Love, Us.

Boo-Doop, Boo-Doop! (Or Whatever that Jaws Theme Song Is)

Ahhh!

We won a drawing at the housing office and now 

are the proud owners of a mammoth lobster!

Woot!

It is going to be a fun summer!

Love, Us.

Too Much Love

I usually lock my bedroom door when I get up in the morning.

That way, little ones can't get in and love on Hector without my supervision.

I must have forgotten to lock it the other day.

When I went up after my morning prayers, I was surprised to find my light on...

and this going on in the pack-n-play!

They were both laughing and looking like they are the best of buddies.

But yikes...that could have been a very different scene if there were blankets available!

Bad loving big sister!

Love, Us.

The Kids' DIY Train

All of the neighborhood kids have been having a blast with the kids on this recently.

Patrick's First Poem

We finished our regular school year last week.

Testing starts today!

On Patrick's last day he recited his first poem.

I wanted to include all three recitations of it, because he is such a ham!

#1: A little silly with a loud stroller going by.

#2: Super silly Patch!

#3: Nice job, Patch!

Love, Us.

One Very Tired Ninja Turtle

Evangeline joined me for a pre-workout walk right before nap time a few days ago.

I thought nap time would arrive when we got home.

It came a little earlier.

She didn't even wake when I took the carrier off, and she slept in this position for over an hour!

Love, Us.

T's Mysterious Allergies

Her entire life Thérèse has dealt with mysterious allergies 

that show up as skin conditions every now and then.

They usually happen when we are away from home,

just like it did last weekend when we were in Salem.

Behold, the mysterious hives!

At their height, they were ALL OVER...even in her ears and nose!

Poor girl!

Well, since we have plans to be traveling and away from home 

for a couple weeks in June, we are trying our best to actually 

figure this out, via an allergist, before then.

We'll keep you posted on the results.

Love, Us.
