Just had to pull over and take this picture…BOGO Free? A House?

When the girls became noticeably attached to their Pooh Loveys…mommy had the bright idea that we needed at least eight. Two for the car, two for the crib, two to be washed and two in case we needed replacements.

As they got older, we noticed them using names…and they are able to identify who is who…yes we tested them one child at a time and without any hesitation they named each one. So here are the bearies, Goto Bear, Tivvy Beary, Kelly Bear, Jazzy Beary and Lotta Bear.

We’d hear a pop and then jingle, jingle, jingle down the hall. A sudden movement at the foot of the bed and a cat fishing toy suddenly presented to us by Katy…

We finally caught her in action as she gracefully hops on the table…launches herself into the air…straddles the pole and pops it off the table with her body weight…

The jumpster was probably their all time favorite activity even to this day…well most days…

I placed two of them adjacent to each other and it was incredible to us that as they learned to bounce, they mastered their space and never hit the door frames. As their legs grew stronger, they would jump forward and back and actually timed it so they were both swinging at the same time without hitting each other.

Our first evening in Florida, we went to dinner at Downtown Disney at the T-Rex restaurant…definitely a neat experience and endless visual stimuli for youngsters. The meteor shower show every 20 minutes or so turns your surroundings into a living prehistoric scene with all the creatures coming alive and loud meteor sound effects.

Beautiful in the day, breathtaking at night.

I have always wanted to grow blueberries, so this year we selected a couple bushes. I knew I had to get two varieties but when I was told that it takes two years to get fruit…I almost…took them off the cart.

At the end of June we saw light colored round shapes on the bushes and just assumed they wouldn’t mature this year but they kept growing and growing and turned blue! We picked one and cut it open to inspect, compared it to store bought blueberries. It looked identical so we had a taste test…

I had a napkin ready, expecting the worst but to our surprise they were very sweet! In fact, if all blueberries were this sweet I’d eat them like candy like the way the girls do.

As we walked outside, all one of my girls heard was the sound of the cannons shooting off the fireworks… and she booked it back into the house. It took some coaxing to leave the safety of the couch and come outside to view the show.

But she did and they both enjoyed it immensely.

I didn’t stop to think what effect the jets in the tub would have on the bubble bath…I just figured bigger tub…pour more!

The bubbles just kept growing and growing until it appeared it would start flowing out of the tub at which point, we of course turned off the jets and let the girls play.

So much laughter and giggles… I know I will miss the day when a simple bubble bath no longer creates the joy and excitement it does now.

Now that my actual website is under way, I am starting one of my ideas that I was interested in doing, but did not have a clue how to do it until now. Big Photos…featuring special moments.
