Be still my heart….
XOXO–
Over the weekend we took the kids to G’s favorite restaurant. Barnacle Bills in Rumson, NJ. We started going there when he was in first grade. It’s right one the Navesink River , and what the kids love most about this place is the peanuts and the small game room they have in the back.

Yesterday we ended up at Medieval Times and while Gene has been there many times, it was L’s first time. She kept hugging me and thanking us the whole time. Her jaw dropped when the knights began to sword fight. Our knight was the blue knight.
He didn’t make it.
On the way home L sang Spongebob’s ” Best Day Ever” song over and over and over. This morning when she woke up her first words were, ” Yesterday was the best day ever!”




And when I tell you Mike was *this* close to buying this armor, I am not kidding.

Men!

Dear Charlie,
I love your snorty snorts, grunts, your developing classic hound dog howl, and your snoring lulls me to sleep. I love your soft , floppy , dangly, ears {minus the cleaning of them}. You keep me warm, and I love the kisses and cuddles. I love the many positions you sleep in, and how you will snuggle your chin up to my neck as if you were hugging me. I love how you let me expect me to carry you around like a baby and cradle you in my arms. All 25 lbs of you.
However…..
Could you tone down the chewing of magazines, Uggs, shoes, my sweater, Linhsey, and Gene’s sweatshirt strings? Just a little?
Oh, and while we are at it, how about you stop teasing me with sleeping through the night 3 nights in a row and then making me get up and go outside with you leaving me no time to get dressed other than to slip Uggs on my feet and freeze at midnight?
Thank you.
Love,
The one who does everything for you and actually missed doing it when I was sick with the stomach virus last week.
P.S. I know you like water, but do you have to drink the shower water every time I shower? And seriously Charlie, you don’t have to lick every droplet of water off of my body when I get out. That’s what towels are for. I promise you.

Yesterday L and I took Charlie to run around a fenced in football field. Charlie and L made two doggie friends there. L ran around way more than the dogs. Charlie….well she didn’t do much running. When we went home the two of them were plum tuckered out.
