For Traveling Daddy

Took a photo durning family snuggle time to send to you.

Garrett wanted one of his beard.

Audrey one of her foot.

All Systems A-Ok

Audrey is singing, "robot rampage."

Goggles and a Hook

Got the essentials for a 6am trip to the grocery store.

Taking a poll

"Raise you hand if you do NOT want to choke."

3:30 Pick-up Scene

Garrett and Inara working together.

Cartwheelin'

At 6:08am

"I want it.
Swimming.
Mama."

Sunny Day

Checked the work box at school and found that Garrett had written his first word, "sunny!"

He also wrote his name, he's the second line. His buddy Matthew wrote the top line.

A Head in the Trunk

Pile On

Mom, look!

It's my name.

Get to work, Chef!

Audrey walked to her chair first thing this morning and said, "breh-fasss momma!" And proceeded to climb up and wait.

Busy

"Monkey sitting down and reading book."

That's my girl!

I put breakfast on the table and Audrey shouted "BACON!"

Cheese!

Today was picture day at school. After dinner Garrett said he was setting up a camera. He put the red "camera" on a chair and proceeded to line up all the other cars and trucks. Once they were positioned the way he wanted he walked to the camera truck, said "big smiles," and made a clicking sound when he pushed down on it.

hilarious

well, we know he's napping...

Who doesn't?

Garrett to Audrey, "you like dollars and dessert, right?"

Yep.

It's disappointing when everyone is died.

Let's do the time warp again...

G, referencing some toys we were playing with: it was a terrible accident. Did you see it?

Me: No! When did it happen?

G: Oh, I think it was in the sixteen-eightys.

garrett quote

do you know what trees have acorns?

"acorn tree"

no. where do we live?

"oakland"

is there a tree that has some words like where we live?

"yeah - an oklahoma tree"

It's hard to argue with that...

"Garrett, please don't walk around with milk. Come back to the table and sit down to drink it."

I can't see him and all I get is silence from his room.

"Garrett."

From around the corner I hear, "Yeah, but I'm not supposed to walk around with milk."

Audrey Proclaims

Audrey:

Daddy go poop.

Butt.

Daddygopoopbutt.

Typing

Garrett's first email:

One Man Band

Roadkill

While driving on the highway on the way to the school field trip, I hear from the backseat, "Momma! I saw a cat on the side of the road! I think it was sleeping."

I didn't have the heart to tell him what it was really doing. 

Clone

Matt was scrolling thought my photos and saw these. He thought it was Garrett.

Fishy

He swam to the stairs!!!!

This is only his second private lesson; totally worth it!

(I'm closed into the dressing room and looking out a peephole because if we were out there I'd be constantly grabbing Audrey from throwing herself into the deep end!)

Audrey is also doing well, she's learning to relax and lie on her back; hopefully floating soon.

Minding my own business...

So today when I picked Garrett up from school I arrived and gave him a 2 minute warning. While sitting there waiting, a little girl came up to me. 

"Hi Grace. How's it going?" I asked. 

"What are those red dots on your face?"

"Uhh. They are called pimples. Thanks for asking."

Effing kids.
