my boy

Aidan is 13 today. 

Yesterday he warned us that as of today, he would become incredibly difficult. and know everything. 

I'll keep ya posted on this but thus far... he is as sweet as ever. 

Here he is

Noah Asher!! 

  

                         

our new baby

has been named, Noah Escher Chateauneuf . I do not have photo's yet. I hear he is beautiful (of course!). Sammy is acting as the proud big brother, checking his heart and belly with his stethoscope. Little Ziggy is ignoring him. 

in other news. My most curious one broke his tooth the other day. while looking at a light bulb. go figure.. luckily, he caught the other part of his tooth and his dentist was able to reattach it.  

He's here!

not sure of his name yet. Maybe Noah... was born, 10:36!!

what make me grumpy

when i come home from work @ midnight and someone is parked in my parking spot

People...  do not park in other peoples parking spots. seriously. Now I am parked at the post, hoping I  do not get towed. 

 turning 40

I know that was really almost a year ago but it's just hitting me now. for the first   time in my life, I am age conscious. 

delicate camera's

 why would a $1700.00 camera be so easy to break? why $200.00 to fix? 

  why??!!!

state inspections

 does all that stuff really matter? 

is  my car safe to drive around my children? yes. 

polluting more than another car of it's type? no.    

then what the $&!*.... let me drive my crappy car and put that $700.00 to better use. 

rain

rain is nice. 

rain has it's benefits. 

but please... enough is enough. no more rain for a while.  please. no more muddy little boys. no more driving somewhere we can walk. no more closed windows on summer days. rain should only happen on days I wish to watch movies

Atonement (the movie)

 i loved it. it really only makes me grumpy because I want to see it again. now. but cannot since it's 12:38 and I do not have it. Also, why is K. Knightly throwing herself at my sisters boyfriend? she has no shame.  

Mail

why must I only get bills. Or requests for money. Oh arts foundations... how I would love to support you. Shiny showy advertisements, stop trying to taunt me.... I am wise to your wicked ways... no matter how many %'s off you offer me.

 how about some invites to parties of people I like. or good news from afar. checks would be nice too. no bills. please. I am full. thanks.

At Papa's house before the big game. We had a great time. Aidan loved the game but beating Papa and Judy at scrabble may have been the highlight. Seeing Varitek up close and seeing Ortiz steal a base came in a close second i'm sure.

all my boys playing cards @ Echo Lake.

sweet little family. Little ? still snug in his mommy. not quite ready to join us yet.

Sammy about to ask a question. one of is many questions. he is so very curious about everything around him!!!

this is how Ziggy listen to Susie and Banshee's Peeka Boo! He and Sammy kept asking for Joelle to play it. they'd hold hands then when it came on Z would cover his face. then sing!
