Perch, please.

AP went fishing for a week, and I got to sleep with the boy. This was the only way I could stop him from crying every night for his beloved daddy.

Awesome.

The Lift

Grampy got a brand new recliner. It's huge and leather and has a remote. I must admit, it's rather comfy, as H and I slept in it for 2 night. However, I also think its rather comical that this fancy new recliner can lift you right out. I wonder what kind of warranty came with the motor...

Great Gram

I told her to take it easy on Bennett. He's only five, I reminded her, and the sword fighting should be gentle. That woman won't listen to anyone! They battled all through the house.

Crazy lady loves her namesake.

Who's that?

Harps loves to look at pictures of herself and bennett. Some nights, the only way we can calm her sassy pants, is to convince her to read the Disney book. She looks at each photo, points and says, "ohhhh". (that's about it. Her vocab is less than stellar.)

VDay

Valentine's day 2012. Bennett and I spent three days making valentines for the peeps at Ms. Kelli's. It's a lot of work, writing out all that love.

Thirty FOUR

Thank you, God. I honestly thought I was turning thirty five. AP said, "no". I said, "oh, yes." We did the math, and he was right (again). I had one of the best birthday weekends, yet. We sent the kids to the River, and spent two days drinking beer, playing pull tabs and eating the original juicy lucy.

Good beer, better friends and a whole extra year? I'll take it.

Welcome home, Ms Mac.
