Definetely all boy.

One of my friends and Etsy shop owner of Sweet Baby Tot had an open house where she was selling her fabulous handmade girly things. I have to admit, rummaging through all the lovely dresses, bows and accessories almost made me reconsider having another baby. Almost. I couldn't leave there empty handed so I bought this dress as a gift for some lucky friend.
It looked so pretty on the hanger and I needed someone to model it. Poor little guy. This lasted a total of 7.5 seconds.

I hope he won't need therapy after that.

Alaskan Cruise.

Norwegian Star Cruise Ship.We're back from our 7 day cruise to Alaska and Canada! Besides the fact that I still feel like I'm rocking up and down (not so fun), Alaska was the best trip I've ever been on. Thank you to Grandpa John for taking us with him on the Alaskan trip that he's been dreaming of ever since I can remember. Here's a recap...

Naish loved everything but I think his favorite part of the trip was the moving walkway at the airport...go figure!

Matani loved the kids play zone and the waterslide on the ship that he went down at least 100 times despite that it was in the high 40's outside. He also fell in love with the housekeeping girl from the Phillipines who folded a new animal out of towels for him everynight and used mints for eyes.

We made it home just in time to do a couple of fireworks!

My impression of Alaska is that it is an incredibly sacred place. It is still and quiet, pure and clean, virtually untouched by man. I'm ready to go back again.

Dear Husband,

I miss you. Our boys miss you. I hope you are enjoying yourself on your business trip. I never fully appreciate the security of having a big strong man in the house until you are away. This week without out you has been lonely...nights have been the hardest. I almost forgoe'd my allergy to animals and asked Jim if I could borrow Spike for the week just to have a barking dog in the house to scare away the Boogy Man. But alas, I found that a metal bat under my pillow gives me suprising comfort. Don't mess with this momma and her nest!

It has been a long week without you. I decided that if things ever went sour between us I might just opt for a loveless relationship than choose to be a single parent...it really bites. I can't wait for Friday evening! Not only will this family once again be complete but I know that there will only be 358 more days until your next annual business trip.

Here's what has been going down since you've been away:

The boys have been missing their daily 5:00 Wrestle Mania session with you so they took matters in to their own hands.







You'll be happy to know that no one got hurt during Wrestle Mania.

However...

Rub-a-dub-dub look who slipped in the bath tub.


"T" learned that sliding his bowl accross the counter ends in disaster.


"N" took up permanent residence in your spot on the bed with a full blown cold. He wakes every hour screaming bloody murder and kicking me in the face. You'd think a king size bed is big enough for a 1-1/2 year old and me. No.
I bet you can't wait to get home!
