random-nings

Toby with a disgusted face to me during dinner...




I'd rather eat Ugali!




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



Bristel to us about Trevy...






He's the bestest baby I've never seen!




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



Toby to me while holding up his smashed & blackened nail ring finger...





Mom, is this a swear?










or this?











dropping ring finger...and waving middle man in my face instead!








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

Bristel on the Holy Spirit...







He's scaaaaary!







Evidently she thinks the Holy Spirit & the Spirit of Christmas Past are one n' the same!





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



Toby holding my wedding band...





Hey Mom...





...if you die...





can I sell it????


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

Bristel on breakfast...


Can I have an American muffin?


It took me a minute to figure out she meant an English Muffin! Our kids divide everything into two categories. American...and African!


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

Trevy when told "No No!"


Will either throw whatever happens to be in his toddler paws.

Or

he'll find his nearest sibling. Wag his pudgy pointer finger. And say "Nuh Nuh Nuh!"

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

Oh...and it so happens that this weekend makes me another year older.


Grams' gift is baby-sitting all day tomorrow so Jonathan & I can have a date!

Happy belated birthday. I somehow missed this post over the weekend. I hope you enjoyed your date night. It sounds so refreshing. Brandon and I towed the kids all over town this weekend...leaves me feeling pretty exhausted for the week. Oh, and the fact that Sophie AND Elsa were both up in the middle of the night for hours on end.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it ain't sexy livin' on an island...

Especially when you have to cross bridges to get ANYWHERE. Very LARGE bridges. The crests of which I inevitably get stuck at. Speaking of...why is it that at the tippity tops of our bridges...the railings always open up? To reveal an eagle's eye view of the white capped depths below? I HATE that. And sure enough...in route to Dr. Pedi yesterday...they must have seen me coming cause traffic ground to a halt at the top of the Mt. Hope Bridge. Where I felt less than Hope-ish. My palms gushing my nerves onto the steering wheel for a good 15 (felt like forever) minutes. Not just things medical bring out my cowardly lion. Heights do too! Anyway... Grabbed an iced coffee and chocolate cream filled to settle my nerves on the way. And we arrived on time...in one piece. Of course. Dr. Sick-Visit-Pedi breezed in chart in hand. Glanced down. Then at Trevy. Then said... "He has a history of Infantile Spasms?" Surprise and speculation in her voice. We get that a lot. It...
