Lizzy's 1st Birthday

Tropical Storm Fay rained on Lizzy's day, but that did not stop the fun. Butterfly fun was had by all, we did butterfly foam art, Mommy with Aunt Carrie and Nana's help made butterfly cupcakes. Lizzy loved the cupcake, both to eat and to squish in her fingers. She liked pulling the tissue paper from the gift bags and then putting it back in the bag.
Without a backyard the children had to improvise, which they did a wonderful job of, and Lizzy's room became a class room, with everyone taking a turn teaching.

1st Day of School

Both Rodney and Lizzy are now attending Mother's Day Out at Mt Brook Bapitist.

The difference a few years makes.

My cousin Amanda and I have always made an effort to visit each other several times a year. It use to be arrive Friday, go straight out to dinner and drinks, sleep late Saturday, do lunch, some shopping, then afternoon naps to prepare for the that evening.

Whew, how times have changed...........

With three children between us, and two of them very active little boys, our weekend was more like; up early, waffles, is everyone buckled, you need which truck, wait come back, don't fall asleep in the car, but pray they nap, who needs more lemonade, please eat your dinner, keep the water in the tub, and are they asleep yet..........can I get you a beer?

Since this blog seems to always be about my kids, I thought it time to include a little adult content. This is the naked cowboy in Times Square. The man must make 100k +a year, he charges $2 a picture, has a bouncer making sure you pay and even has advertising on the undies he is wearing. No my hand is not touching him, he was sweaty gross and trying to cop a feel, I was laughing to hard to stand up straight.

O the joys a grandparents babysitting...........
