The extra syllable

I don't ever want to forget this time, when Dash adds an extra and adorable syllable to many words.

"Mom, that sounds like the beginning to a Dis-ah-ney movie!" - On hearing the intro music to The West wing

"I am a basketball player for the Ashe-ah-bill Bulldogs!" - Thanks to the much-loved and much worn UNC Asheville basketball tshirt gifted to him by his Gramps and Grandma Linda

"I am making you a pie and I have a little pepper and a little pap-ah-rika to put in it, OK?" - while playing in the backyard sandbox and "cooking" for me

Morning cuddles

Everybody wants to hold a cute baby in the morning.

Porchers

A few of my dear girlfriends and I started getting together regularly in the evenings on our screened porches, gatherings we call Porchers.  Kids and husbands are only invited for a few minutes of pleasantries but special exception has been made for Max who quite enjoyed his first porcher last night.

Third baby

This is Max's life... going along to all of Ella and Dash's activities and hoping to catch a nap in there somewhere.
