Light Sabers

To say my kids like hitting light sabers and hearing the clash of Star Wars sounds would be putting it mildly!!
Nothing like sharing the joy of swords!!!

Dd at breakfast.

Yes SB does at least like Dd. In fact she likes him more and more each day.

Ryan home 5 weeks

He is either very happy or very mad. Had to take a mad picture!! This used to go on for 5-10 minutes. We are now down to about 2 minutes!!! Big improvement, and this seldom happens!!
Nothing like bath time!!

Easter!!!


Loved to hold his sippy cup when not in use. No more sippy cups now.



First home we did the bottle for the first week and then no more. But...it truly did help with the bonding.

We leave Wednesday!!

The week has finally arrived, we leave this Wednesday for China.!! We didn't know until last Friday that we were a go for this week! Yikes it has been crazy! We are still in the middle of craziness!!! So much to do and so little time. We had to get last minute tickets so they were pretty pricey and pretty hard to come by. So we are not taking a direct route. Hopefully we can atleast get two of our seats together. Time will tell, we leave Wed at 3 am...did I say yikes??!! As far as a meet and great goes we will get back here at Midnight..again...YIKES!! Honestly we were just happy to find flights that would get us there.
