Happy Wanderers

OK Everyone have their walking sticks?

Just one at a time please!


Make sure it's just the right size.

Perfect!


Let's Go! Let's sing to keep the bears away! (this really confused Jimmy when I told him this!)

I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain track,

And as I go, I love to sing, My knapsack on my back.

Val da ree, Val da rah
Val da ree, Val da rah ha ha ha ha ha
Val da ree, Val da rah
My knapsack on my back.






I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun
So joyously it calls to me,
Come join my happy song.





Val da ree, Val da rah
Val da ree, Val da rah ha ha ha ha ha
Val da ree, Val da rah
My knapsack on my back.

Two years.

Happy Birthday Joey! You are going to love being 2!

Let's look at how you've enjoyed the journey so far!

You joined us calm and grinning.


We all loved the tiny little boy.


Jimmy inspected you carefully and often!


You were and are so goofy.


And silly.


Raring to go for your next adventure.



Anything as long as you could be outside!



Outside is where the dirt is!



It's also where noses get broken!



Happy Birthday Joey! Many more adventures await you!

Mind over matter...

I know darn tootin' well what this is.


But I still have to clean it up, no matter how gross it is.

So let's just pretend it's some spilled chocolate sauce and not at all the remains of a feline operated gecko disembowelment procedure...
Yeah... that works for me...

It's the end of an era.

There are officially no more cribs needed in this family. *Waaah! Mah Baybeeeee! He's getting so big!!!*

Let the climbing and jumping commence!!!




And then you can hide in the curtains some more!

When I'm down and blue...

Twice now since moving back to Hawaii this has happened. When I start feeling overwhelmed and lost or just a bit down, I get sent a reminder. Then I remember what I can accomplish and feel my inner strength renewed a bit.
This time I remembered to take pictures.
