"I'm Going to Eat You Up!"

Scene: At lunch, the three kids and I are eating together at home while Daddy's at work.

Andrew (to me): "I'm going to eat you up! And me and Daddy are going to buy a new mommy!"

Me: "How are you going to buy a new mommy?"

Andrew: "Because I'm gonna pay for a new mommy."

Laughter from the peanut gallery.

Me: "Where's your money to pay for a new mommy?"

Andrew: "I need a new wallet!  I want you to buy a new wallet for me."

More laughter from the peanut gallery.

Me: "How many dollars are you going to spend on a new mommy?"

Andrew: "Hmm... three!"

More laughter, end scene.

More Pictures with Family

For a while now I've wanted to get updated pictures of the kids with the grandparents, and a recent visit to Nana and Granddad's provided the perfect opportunity!

And here are are two sweeties who were helping me get my camera settings dialed in correctly. First is no smile Andrew...

... and then his reaction when Sarah tried to convince him to smile!  (Both in contrast to the open mouth he currently uses for his "smile" as seen in the first photo).

Then Grandmother and Gran came over for a visit to see our new house in NC, and I grabbed the opportunity to get another picture I've been meaning to take for ages. 

And once again, Sarah was there beforehand to volunteer herself and Andrew as models as I tested my camera settings.
