The Critic

I walked out to the dining room on Sunday to find that Madison had busted open the newspaper and was reading the funny pages. So, being a quality parent, I asked a lame question, "So, Madison whatcha doing?"

Madison replied, "Reading the newspaper. I already read this page and now I am reading this page."

Once again I showed my amazing powers of observation. "Your reading the funny pages."

Madison looked up over the top of her glasses and plainly stated, "Yes, but I don't think they are very funny."

You've got to love the honesty of children.

4 Girls and 2 Guys

It won't be long until we can rename this blog! Our first man child is on the way! Jenny is due in March. Having given up on the possibility of having a boy, we have no names for this poor kid. Everything I come up with gets veto'd. I hate getting veto'd. I think I will humor Jenny and name the boy what I want when she isn't looking.

In the Beginning...

How else do you start out a blog but by confessing, this is our first stab at blogging. The goal is to put something up a few times a month so that family and friends can share in the experience of raising our family.

Here's the run down:

• Our Oldest - Madison - Drama queen describes her to perfection!
• The Middle - Hannah - Bless her heart, she has more energy than her little body can handle.
• The Youngest - Allie - Determined to keep up with her sisters no matter what!
• The 1st Man Child - We haven't picked a name yet, but it's our first boy. Scott was more surprised then anyone.

At any given time, anything can and does happen at our house. For example, we awoke this week to a crash from the downstairs bathroom and Hannah calling out, "MOM, DAD!!! Allie, broke the bathroom mirror." Seriously, it wasn't even 7 am.

Pray for us!
