early morning thoughts by steve

As one day ends another begins. As I pull into the garage one day has ended( I work graves) as I tip toe into the house around 6am another begins. My mind is racing. What will I cook for breakfast today? The raspberries and blackberries look good. What will I do to stay awake today? Oh yea I have to take Ell's bed apart. Just because my day has started or never ended doesn't mean the family's has. Here I am waiting for the official start of the day.

"Dad I'm hungry."

The day has begun.

silly andy

Sometimes to get into the growing mood you need to see things from the plants point of view.

thanks dad

what to do on a hot summer day?
get dad to set up the slip and slide for our kids and some neighbor kids.

all lined up and waiting their turn.

breakfast by dad

when dad makes breakfast, he really makes breakfast. today was french toast, bacon, strawberries and caramel greek yogurt. it was a hit. the only thing mom didn't like about it, was the cooking bacon made the whole house smell like bacon. even the cat smelled like bacon. but it was wort it to have a yummy breakfast.

boring life= boring blog?

i have been having blogging block. i haven't had any good ideas on which to blog about. i will blame it on pregnancy brain. i don't know if our life just isn't that interesting, or all i am thinking on and doing is getting ready for baby.

in light of this block, i will have a guest blogger...my wonderful husband. look for his photos and funny comments coming soon.

mom cat and her basket

why do cats love baskets? why do they take them over, without even asking?

this is mom cat's basket. it was my school work basket, but she claimed it.

now she gets to sit in the window while we school, take naps in the sun and make strange noises at the birds.

what a fat cat she is, she fills every inch of the basket up.

oh, how we love our mom cat. but with a face like that, how could you not love it. unless you are crazy like my husband. but mom cat doesn't give up. just this morning steve was in bed watching tv and she went to join him. i found the two of them napping to the sound of some fishing show.

the girls

every night ellyn gives me and hug good night and her baby a hug good night.

one day she said that she wished i had buttons on my belly so she could put in what she wants..."be a girl" is what she programed on my belly.
