Another Wonderful Week

Life is soo much better when Daddy's home. Not that we begrudge the work that he does, but we sure are glad to have him home to play with. See? Happy face!!

A little friend of ours turned one this week and since all we had to wrap her present with was Christmas Paper, we just flipped it over and decorated the blank side and mad our own. The kids REALLY like the stamping!

I love seeing this! I work really hard each week trying to find books for Jakob that would be interesting yet readable. This week's treasure find was the Dinosaur reader. He loved it! It's so much fun listening to him discover his readings and telling us all the cool facts he gleans from them.

Daddy's Back and Seaquarium!

We went to the Miami Seaquarium this week with Hazel's Coop. Jakob got to skip school and we had an awesome time. the shows were the best!
See that lady? Apparently I wasn't suppose to be taking Jakob's picture with these birds. After snapping a couple of times I realized she was talking to me and repeating over and over again, "You can't take pictures with these birds, please move on and take pictures with the birds farther in." Yeah I totally know where my kids get it from! ;-)

The best part of the week was the fact that Daddy came home! he brought us all little gifts from Puerto Rico. Hazel got this cute little summer dress....
both kids got little frogs...
And Jakob got a ship in a bottle! So much fun!
We are all settling back in with Daddy being home. We have adopted a new limbo status as Mike was informed that he would need to put in a dream sheet since he is advancing. We will know later if that actually means that we are transferring this summer.
