Lions and Tigers and Cowboys...and CANDY!

A fun and happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Season!

With so many to choose from he finally found one just his size.

He did it!

Gael went pee in the potty at daycare today! I'm so proud, now lets see if I can follow up at home.

Missouri vs. Kansas

I don't usually get into rivalries, but...





Kansas started it!

Good times in the kitchen!

Seriously!

No sooner had the words, "it's not like I'm on a medication or something so Gael has to stop nursing" that a full blown kidney infection landed me in the doc's office and with a prescription for cipro. Now, Gael and I are both in for a few rough days. Wish us luck! Here are a few cute pics to enjoy while your feeling sorry for us.

quick pics

We had a great Independence Day out at my mom's, but first we participated in our first Crestwood parade with Gael sporting Spiderman red white and blue (Rodrigo slipped in a little of his own nationalism with the Havaianas).



I thought I was letting Gael over do it on the brownies he loves so much because his face was getting really chubby but on closer examination it turns out he has swollen lymph glands, but two blood tests later the doc says not to worry.

Easy for him to say he did not have the masochistic nurse that went poking around in both arms!!!

Oh well, when life gives him lemons, or limes, Gael is happy!

June?

It's been a strange month.
First, a moment for MJ...



Thanks friends for the fun times (man, there were a lot of babies)!



Sadly, it may be the last house party for awhile or at least until we get some home repairs done which I hope to get started soon and safely now that I have read up on all there is to know about renovating old homes (pre-1978) that probably contain lead paint (SOB!). If anyone has had to deal with this I would love to hear your words of wisdom.

Tuckered Tike

One minute Gael was excitedly jabbering over his cracker while I made dinner, then it was unusually quite...........except for the faintest snore.

Summertime, Swimming Pools and Prairie Dogs

Something is not quite natural about this picture...


Oh, that's it!



More weird behavior


As big as a giant Prairie dog!

Does my right arm taste good or something?

Gael was twice bitten this week and the second time he just kept looking at his arm like he was wondering what is going on? The first time was at daycare where he and his best friend fought over a truck. He returned the bite with a slap and the two boys forgot about the whole thing. I on the other hand have no idea if I should scold him or put him in boxing lessons (slapping is so not manly).
