i
love
you
more
than
candy
dog food
sour cream
playing ball
and even mom
(sometimes)

happy fathers day!

what the world needs

is more one year old winkers with cheezy grins

and less cranky drivers and impatient fathers day shoppers! 

21

last saturday jon had a show-

(which was REALLY long

but he was fantastic, 

and i LOVE to hear my guy sing

makes me feel like a giddy school girl

but thats besides the point)

both of our parents were at the show 

and e was not invited 

so he had his first time with a babysitter

(someone who is not yet a mom)

well two really

but they had matching outfits 

so it was like one girl

plus their collective age is 21

i got nervous and came home 

during intermission to check in--

mr. e could care less to see me

too busy being fawned over by 

two sweeties;

in 4.5 hours

he got 2 baths

and 3 diaper changes

and a photo shoot on

my camera phone
and i tell you what
my house was clean
and my baby was happy
when i returned-
thanks girls!

32 and counting

i
hope
this
coming
year
will
be
as
lovely
and
welcoming
and
colorful
as
my
new
front
porch
