Sharing Is Caring

Another adlib for you.
I was taking a drink from Lilea's V8,

Lilea: "MOM, don't drink it all!"

This is our dog Nala, she is a mastiff mix, and she is a great pet. I feel very safe with her around, and she loves the kids.

Oh, Nala, tan all around.
You were there for me on that mound,
I rolled my ankle that fateful day
All we wanted to do was play.
Now I am all black and blue,
But you know I still love you.

Talk soon.

Adlib's Continued

Mom: Hey, close the fridge door.
Lilea: Oh, it will be alright.
Dad: Okay.

Of course, it is funnier when it comes unexpectedly. But, hopefully there will be one soon that sticks in my memory for ya.

Talk soon.

Little Rhyme

There once was a piggie,
He had no name,
There once was a piggie,
He lived down Edelberry Lane.
There was a girl,
Who lived down there,
She would always stop and stare.
One day Mr. Piggie,
I shall give you a name.

Sang it to my daughter one night, trying to get her to sleep.

Day 1

As promised; an adlib a day keeps the blues away, just testing it out. Today Alea, the little one, took her first step. She went from the ottoman to the couch, one step without holding onto anything. Here it comes...
The big one, Lilea, said too many things too keep track of. There is one that is sticking in my head though.

"Mom, come back here!"

Adlibs

Here is my new idea, encouraged by my sister to blog more on my blog page. How about adlibs, the little girl is not talking yet, but the big one is. She says funny things all the time. Of course as life goes I cannot think of anything right now, but next time I will take not of her little thoughts amd post them for you.
Talk soon.

Back Home

Okay, we have been home for awhile; finally our time at the San Juan Islands. All of the pictures are above, so feel free to take a look. We had a great time camping, hiking, and even fishing. British Camp had some beautiful buildings remaining from the Pig War with a great garden. From there we hiked about two miles and got some great shots of the surrounding islands and Canada. Only one building stood on the American side, but there were some beautiful beaches.
The doctor we had to visit for my first daughter (coughing very hard and not breathing well) was very nice and informed us she would be just fine; run of the mill virus. Went whale watching and saw a nice family and two large males. (Orcas, Killer Whales)
While waiting for the ferry home we had some great fish and chips, and some homemade candy. Beautiful sunset on the way home and a peaceful end to a good trip.
My overall conclusion is Friday Harbor is a great and beautiful place to visit. Two days was plenty for me (I was developing a severe case of island fever), and I think it would be perfect for just about everyone. Check out the sights and get back on that ferry home.
Talk soon.

First Attempt

We are going camping this week, up at Friday Harbor, WA. This place is really neat, tomorrow will be filled with roaming town and seeing what it has to offer. Camp is all set up now, and we are going to buy our first fishing poles. I will make sure to let you in on all the good eats and great shops. Talk soon.

Auction

I just bought my first auction item. I thought I would give furniture flipping a shot, it is a nice sturdy table, $5. I am going to sand and paint, trying to have some fun while at it. When my new project gets to my house I will post a picture, before and after; my favorite saying! Talk soon.
