It's my blog and I'll whine if I want to, whine if I want to, whine if i want to...

Ok so I just heard that DTV is being pushed back because "our country isn't ready for the change yet". Now normally I couldn't care less. But for some reason I'm really annoyed by this. I'm not annoyed because I really want digital TV. I'm annoyed because they're wasting so much time on nothing in congress. It's only television people! If a few thousand people have to go without it they're not going to die. There's some far more important issues that are being sidelined because of TV? Get over it America!

BTW all of this is coming from a "TV Head" (a.k.a. someone who really likes watching TV). I just think it's pathetic that we think we can't live without it. RIDICULOUS!

Sometimes...

...I don't correct my children's speech just because it's so darn cute.
Leia thinks the name Melony is actually "Lemony"

All the kids call Chuck E. Cheese- Chuckin' Cheese

And then Gaius obviously says "Helwo" for Hello


I love my crazy, hilarious children. They brighten my day.

Sometimes I wonder about our youngest


He's hilarious! Today he figured out how to make this low raspy noise deep in his throat. And since he got a laugh out of it once he's been going around all morning making it and laughing.


At our house the computer is in the living room near the couch so Marc can recline while going on-line (not exactly the best set up in my opinion, but whatever). So we have a cordless keyboard that you hold on your lap. Gaius has started sneaking up beside me, whipping the keyboard off my lap, jumping on my lap, and saying "Helwo". It'd be pretty cute except for the fact that I'm usually in the middle of typing (I'm blogging her man!), and i have to retrieve the keyboard from the floor. But really who can't love a baby who loves his Mama so much?

Inauguration Day

"The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes" Proverbs 21:1

I'm really glad I serve a God who knows what He's doing.

A word to all the snow lovers:

REALLY?!?!?


A pretty picture to ease you into what's to come...


What it looks like when the lake throws up on you:
The southern view :


The northern view:


This posted sign is probably about 5' tall





Last but not least "The Gingerbread House" in all it's glory:

Is it time for a tropical vacation yet?

Christmas Craftiness (part deux)

i didn't make Leia's outfit but I did replicate it for "baby Leia" (my daughter is very creative in the naming department).
