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 was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
