Speaking of Love

Many of you know Juliette has been a regular nocturnal visitor to mom and dad's room ever since we returned from China. No, we didn't nip it in the bud when we should have. Yes, we are exactly what is wrong with today's parent.

We've nicknamed her Jackrabbit because she kicks like one in her sleep.

To address this issue, Bruce and I have been taking turns doing floor duty in Juliette's room. She will often come out of bed and sleep on the floor with whoever is on duty. There is no question, Juliette is a pack animal.

This morning I asked Juliette why she likes sleeping with Mom and Dad so much. After a thoughtful pause she said "It is because I just love you SO much I want to be with you all the time." My cold heart warmed in my chest - what a sweet and thoughtful child!

A little while later, I discovered Juliette had torn more wallpaper off the wall in her room. This is the second time within a week. I sternly reminded her of our earlier wallpaper conversation and asked her why she had done it again after the first reprimand.

She thought for a moment, "It is just because I love the wallpaper SO much...."

That look of love is in your eyes

Evie recently said to dad with her eyes," you are my lifeline to the world!"

Dad replied," yes I know dear, let's keep it that way!"

Evie and Dad continue to agree that she is his baby.

I like to climb stairs when no one is looking.

I love to swing!

Here is a perky topknot day.

Evie is getting ready for cold weather

Halloween and Michael Jackson

November 4 - Happy Birthday Bruce! We love you!!

Halloween was a blast. We went out trick-or-treating with Amelia the Tiger and Rachel the chicken.
Evie LOVED going trick or treating. We were surprised and shocked by this, but she really seemed to enjoy herself. Juliette was an old pro, saying trick or treat and thank you like she has been doing it for years.

The only mishap occurred when Juliette ran into Michael Jackson. She was petrified of him and would not move until he went away.

On the way home she said. I don't like Michael Jackson. We'll see what she thinks when she hears Billie Jean and ABC.
