(a quote out of one of gg's emails! thanks gg)

Sorry about the "incommunicato" over the last month. Things have been a bit hectic around here lately. Some things have gone down this last month, lots of things. I am now using the can to do my duties, I am fully immersed in school and love it, I can write my name by myself, and Isaiah was baptized. Isaiah is now standing on his own, just about ready to take some steps. Oh, and the Cougs still suck, but not quite at the high level of sucktitude as previous years. Daddy told me to say "Go Cougs, Boo Huskies." I asked him what the Huskies wear and he told me "a very evil shade of purple." I asked him what the Huskies smell like and he told me "poo." Also, we totally forgot Grandma Barge's birthday last month. As good Catholics, we will never be completely rid of that guilt. We are sorry Grandma, I would like to offer a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY for the next 5 years just in case we miss it again (which won't happen).

Remember to send an e-mail to Washington Governor Christine Gregoire to not close daddy's work and cut his position. She is lying or being lied to, and is playing politics with a lot of people's jobs to fix the problems she and her lackeys created. Betcha didn't think I had that knowledge at my disposal did you?

Here are a couple of pictures to tide you over till we talk again. Love you all!

a couple weeks ago..

happy birthday GG!!! we video called & sang happy birthday with grandma mary (she made the cake!)...it was pretty fun, but we had trouble with a bad connection, & charlie fell over onto the cake when he was blowing out the candles ...only a little bit of blood! and the cake was fine! it was exciting anyways!

charlie was waiting ever so patiently to eat...

more oral fixation!

i thought it might be cute to have a wee photo session with my wee one..however, he thought it might be a better idea to eat the flowers....

hence, the stuffed animal...

he's very resourceful. he often carries things in his mouth so he can use both hands to crawl!!

~fun filled weekend with the cousins~
