or you WILL get wet! ;)
Let this be recorded for future generations, so that people not yet born will praise the LORD. Psalm 102:18

Once Upon a Time...
Today I was *ahem* enjoying my husbands company after he came home from work. ;)
Graham walked in to the kitchen, with hands on his hips, head tilted and grinning.
"Guys, it's time to stop enjoying Once-Upon-a-Time land....you've been in Once-Upon-a-time-land for way too long now!"

Victory, or fail??
An all too frequent sight lately, I decided to record my people bickering tonight, with hopes that watching themselves behave badly would lead to remorse. Instead, HYSTERICAL laughter ensued and then they ran off laughing and playing together?! Well, that didn't work out quite like I'd planned...

Snap, Crackle, Pop!
Millie has a new favorite snack...Gluten Free Brown Rice Krispies (got 'em BOGO at Publix!) and Rice milk. She wanted more and more, I refilled her suction cupped bowl 3 times! Cute little thing.
The Daddy Void
Dan's out of town for a special denominational meeting this week. We are missing daddy something awful around here! Especially Hannah Reece...she's a daddy's girl ALL.THE.WAY.
Bedtime is usually when the tears start to flow. Last night I set out to find one of Dan's shirts that he'd worn to work, one that still had a faint daddy smell. Don't worry, he's non-commital with his dirty laundry, so it hadn't made it's way into the filthy laundry basket yet-just on the floor next to it, ha! The minute I handed it to her, she buried her little face into it and took a big whiff. It was gross and sweet, all at once!
And here's the daddy's girl, all snuggled up with daddy's shirt, and wearing one of his huge white undershirts as a gown. And of course the thumb. And the big IKEA crinkle blanket that she made her own when her "blank" baby blanket got "lost". I "found" the baby blanket again to see if she'd trade, but it was a no go. *sigh* I am thankful for the precious relationship between our girls and their daddy, it is a gift.
Sweet daughter, you are so beautiful, and when I look at you while you are sleeping....my heart skips a beat! I am utterly amazed that God made me your momma. I love you! XOXO

Brown Sugar Salmon with a Side of Heat 'n Eat
Spotted this at Costco today. And thought it would go well with the salmon I had thawing in the fridge for dinner tonight. There are six-2 serving pouches inside, I nuked 2 of them at three minutes each and it easily fed the 5 of us.
Now onto the salmon. Rev. Hubs can cook up a mean Salmon fillet. This is scientific, so y'all get a pen. ;)
1) He put the fillet in a big ziplock bag, put in some soy sauce, and a splash of orange juice.
2) Marinated for about 30 minutes.
3) Then he removed the fillet and put it in glass baking dish, mixed the marinade with about 1/4 c. of brown sugar and spread it over the top of the fish.
4)Bake at 350 for anywhere from 20-30 minutes (depends on the thickness of fish.)
I wish I had taken a pic of the finished product. It was so good! For the littlest, I used the kitchen shears and just went to town chopping the noodles, veggies and salmon up in her bowl. This will definitely be a do over.

17 months
Camille, our darling girl with the most delicious little dimples,
It is hard for me to believe that you are almost a year and a half old! Your smile is so contagious and we get so tickled at your little giggles! You love to be chased, tickled, sugared up and entertained by your big brother and sister. Here are some things I want to remember about you at this age:
-when left unattended you usually go to one of the following to play: the toilet, the bunk bed stairs (thank goodness they're removable!), momma's closet (to play in my shoes, of course!), to you play kitchen in the corner of the living room, the pantry (gung-ee!) or to the playroom to fiddle with sister's barbie stuff. I in turn am always hovering over you while you explore.
-you can identify eyes, nose, mouth, ears, teeth, feet, hands, hair, knees (that's a new one!)
-want to put your shoes on first thing in the morning
Words you say:
goo-ga-good girl
bubba-Graham
dissy-sissy
shoooo-shoes
Na-ha-eese-Hannah Reece
Poo-poo
bi-par-diaper
po-eee-potty
ma-mi or nee nee-momma's milk
gung-ee-hungry
doos-juice
wa-wa-water
pippy-sippy cup
teet-teet-tweet tweet/bird
Ca-oo-Charly
Dada-Daddy
Momma-you say this over and over for anything that is urgent to you, whether you are talking to me or not! :)
