Ode to new technology, Monkey-Style!


Yesterday was my 27th birthday, which means I am entering my 3rd official year as a Momma. As you can see, Daddy is pretty happy about that, but Monk may be a little incredulous. Personally I think it will be the very best year yet!


So does my crazy cutie Mini-Pants!!

I took these at my birthday breakfast, after being allowed to sleep in- and only woken up when I got my presents from my beaming children. They wrote cards for me, and Monk jumped on my head and threw hers at my face. That is LOVE!!

My darling dearest sweet Hubby-o-Mine bought me a laptop for my present, which is why the title to this post is pertinent! Not only is it amazing and top of the line, it has a SD card reader, so I was able to upload my pictures directly into the computer with no muss or fuss. How cool is that??


After that, he bought himself a new motorcycle- which is what the girls were longingly staring at out the window! Don't they cut the cutest figures ever?

Depending on the day, they are best friends or worst enemies. When Jess came to visit for our birthday this year, she sure found out! I think the sheer volume those two create together was her most daunting experience.


She had to come before our birthday, because her boyfriend Bill surprised her with a trip to Miami as her present. Where he subsequently proposed!!!! My money is on them eloping to Vegas, so don't start looking for your wedding invite in the mail!

We've had a lot of really big news in the family this month, the biggest being that the newlyweds, Chelsea and Chris are going to be having at least one of these:
So Congratualtions to those two lovebirds, and their bun in the oven!!! They'll be due somewhere around 7 months from now, so March? Be sure to send your love and support!!

Lastly is the dreaded potty training. (Dun Dun DUUUUUUUUHNNNN)
Many of you may know that Monk uses the big-girl potty intermittently, so a bit ago we decided to pursue some full-time potty-age. I had heard from a good friend that when they are ready, you can put big girl panties on a toddler, and after the first accident they figure it out on their own.


We went through 4 pairs of big girl undies in 15 minutes!

We love you all very much!
