Yes, that ACTUALLY happened!

So a 3 year old has to come sit in the office because she decide to clean her classmate's clock. I asked her why she decided to do that...could she have made a better choice?

**Huge and aggravated sigh**

"Weeeelll....Ms. Andieeeee." *insert another sigh*

"She wanted to talk to me but I don't like her FACE!"

*************

One of my favorite 3 year olds looks up at me and says "I really love you!"

I mean come on..what else are you gonna do...I bend down and give him a big bear hug.

Him: "You smell reeeeaally good Ms. Andie."
Me: "Oh really? Do I smell like apples?"
Him: "Well you're not stinky like the TOILET!"

Enter the laughter of a half-dozen 3 year old boys at even the whisper of the word "stinky" or "toilet".

Weee'reee Baaaaack!!!

Yeah, yeah, we've said it before but folks, WE ARE BACK IN THE GAME!! That's right..TDC is working its way back to its daily glory. I'm sure our readership of 12 is squealing with glee!

It dawned on me today that we all have those 'seriously, did-that-JUST-happen' moments. For some reason, I believe there is a target painted on the back of my head that says "hey rogue, obscure and embarrassing moments, come hit THIS ONE!!" If I was to sit back and watch my life as a spectator, I would say that Mr. Embarrassing Moment and I have turned life into a full-contact sporting event.

From that realization, a new post series was born...we will name her Yes, That ACTUALLY Happened.

Consider this your teaser. Get ready kiddos, I have some hum-dingers to float your way.

Stay tuned - we are just getting warmed up.

Ta-ta!

TDC

For Christina

You are one of the bravest people I've ever known. Your faith in God and your courage to pursue his will for your life is evident in everything you do. Your very presence encourages others to rise up and pursue our Heavenly Father with reckless abandon. Your story, your testimony has blessed others and made more of an impact not only on your community, but the world. You amaze me. You astound me. You bless your Savior by loving him, and us the way you do. Each step of the journey has been God-breathed and you have carried on with grace, dignity and unbelievable strength.

I love you sweet friend. You have an army of saints praying.

First Comes Love...

July 15, 2007 marked the beginning of an epic adventure. Here we are 3 years in and we have known more joy, love and excitement than we could have imagined for ourselves. I can't wait to see what our life together will bring! Dana, I love you with all my heart and couldn't imagine this ride with anyone else. You have my heart. My all.

Good Mornin Sunshine!

All I Need Is A Shower Cap

So I am a fish.
I have been since I was a very small baby. I love love love the swimming pool and that's probably where baby girl gets it. Open water - WHOLE other story. Something about creepy crawlies cruising around my toes just doesn't sit well. However, put me in a clean, man-made, chlorine-water filled tub and I am good to go!

This morning I went back to one of my hobbies, water aerobics. Let the snarky comments role. Bring it on. Yes, I'm probably one of the youngest there. Yes, I DID actually see this hat in class this morning. Yes, Gloria Estefan is on the rockin' aerobic music. I LOVE IT ALL!

I got up at 0h-dark-thirty and walked into the gym lookin' a' curly-haired, sleepy-eyed hot mess. But baby, I boogalooed my butt and legs to a good burn this morning, and didn't have to sweat like a pig in the process. I call that a great workout. Mock away my friends. All I have to say - is you are MISSING OUT!!

In light of my renewed love of ridiculous water fun, I found a ridiculous Mr. Bean video to commemorate the occasion. Seems appropriate.

6-7 Months

Can you believe it?! She's already 7 months old!

Penelope has officially mastered sitting up, rolling around, and she is completely into her toes right now. I love seeing how much she is changing right before our eyes. It hardly seems possible...I can't get over it! ECK!
