From My Phone.

When Katy goes out of town one of the kids always gets sick. This time they didn't, they just got into bed with me to watch the Cubs game.

They don't leave me any room in our bed, but they are still so sweet to be around.

This is a statement: From tears to smiles is night and day. Whenever they are laughing and smiling seems to be the greatest thing in the world. And yes I know that is cheesy.

Nyssa getting ready to perform her dance in the big dance room. She really likes to perform, is very intent about it, and so I am looking forwards to her dance in three weeks.

We had a chance to go to a daddy daughter dance sponsored by her daycare and her dance center. She was really excited to go to the dance, although once we arrived it took her a full hour to actually begin to enjoy herself.

I wish this wasn't washed out, I have the feeling she;d be truely lovely. As I told her during her extended warm up period, "I love spending time with you." I mean what else could I do? she wouldn't talk, she wouldn't dance, she wouldn't kick balloons around. But, I mean, I meant it.

Our little sick beauty watching Dora.

Feel like making a skin suit? Put the lotion in the basket in our Rolo basement.

The great thing about being slow is that I am constantly learning. This week I learned exactly how much shit we should have insisted Bob remove from the Rolo house when we bought it. Or we should have removed anytime within the last nine years.
