Spent a nice, low-key day together....swimming, grilling, and just enjoying the little things.

Emily almost 7 months- our little sweet soul
She's totally cruising in her walker...and shaking her head 'yes' and 'no' and responds appropriately to the word 'kiss'. Giggles NON stop at brother and will probably crawl very soon- she's scooting everywhere. She just loves to hear music and singing....is an early riser (no surprise here) and has a killer smile and a contagious, deep laugh. Oh, and she has curls....more and more....where did THAT come from? Love them.

Chase's new gig
Chase has a new 'gig' where he decides to hide is face and/or body from the camera in the very last moment. He starts off posing or smiling so sweet, then he covers up or turns/runs away when the flash begins to show. You can see him peeking out or running ....or turning over or just plain hiding his pretty face.... boys.... : )
Rat story....ONE year ago.... what a great laugh
Many of you may remember Chase's 'rat' story from May of last year ....we think it's worthy of republishing the email we sent out regarding the 'situation'..... good read and a laugh. : ) Seems like a lifetime ago already.
"Okay, I'm straightening up a bit this morning, and let Chase out into the backyard to play- when he comes into the house saying 'Mommy, Mommy, this'....now, the sun is shining directly into the window, so all I see is a shadow of his little body coming towards me, left arm held high with something in it.....when he gets within about 2 feet of me, I see he is carrying a rat, by it's tail!!!! (I have no idea if it is dead or alive at this point) I jump straight up about 5 feet into the air and begin screaming bloody murder- begging to him to drop what he has....so now, he begins to cry and (still holding onto his prize) is now running towards me even faster because I have scared him and he wants me to hold him...... I'm afraid to go any closer to him because I have no idea when he will launch this rat (is it alive or is it dead???) at me, so I try desperately to calm down and say, 'Chasey, just throw that down, throw it over there (as I point to another direction) '
He finally throws this rat clear across our living room (thank goodness it didn't end up on our couch) and I scoop him up hugging him like we had just survived some major catastrophe....and I threw him in the kitchen sink and washed him up as quickly and well as I could.
Sheesh - It was all of about 45 seconds of action, butneedless to say, this practically gave me a heart attack and almost sent me into early labor...... our son is all-boy that's for sure. "
