Smoooooch!

Tonight while enjoying American Idol (which by the way we have never been followed like this) they played a commercial for Royal Caribbean. Near the end before it shows what company the commercial is for the couple holds hands and #3 sings, "Every kiss begins with Kay." I cracked up and he proceeded to sing it repeatedly until I finally asked him to stop but the first time was pretty priceless.

Kisses are important to a special little girl. #4's favorite part of vacation (well I assume because it is repeated everytime someone asks about our trip) was when Minnie Mouse blew her a kiss.

#4 loves to kiss me. Except most kids or really people that aren't in an intimate relationship kiss you on the cheek, forehead or the like. But not her she still insists on kissing me straight on the lips, lingers there even. I am not certain that she is in a place I can explain about kissing just yet so I try my level best to not be uncomfortable with her open display of affection. I saw she kissed Daddy that way too.

I love his expression!
On vacation hubby and I took a moment to take some pictures together and with the girls. When I looked back at them they reminded me of so many other smooches in our life and my dear grandparents. While they have their imperfections they would have been married 60 years this March. It is equally amazing since this was both of their second marriages too. My Grandmother passed just 3 days ago and so they won't have anymore of these kisses. I cannot imagine life here on this earth without my husband. Funny because earlier in our marriage that may not be words I would mean so deeply. Yet after our last trip and our one and only squabble in 7 whole days I felt just how much we love each other. The idea awakended that someday when my husband is exactly the same age as my grandfather we will cross this barrier too. Now who goes first or if Jesus returns before then well I have absolutely no clue! But I am grateful for these pictures and for ALL of my sweet kisses.

Talking is fundamental

Image
6 people live in this house of mine. Most days there is plenty of space for everyone to move about separate of another. The outdoors is 10 acres of mostly wide open space for freedom. The one thing there is not enough of is quiet. #1 can talk your ear off and then some. He continues to read and reread his Titantic book, quizzing his siblings and myself. I really don't understand how Daddy misses out on the quizzes but some things may never be understood. The only way I get quiet is to allow electronics. I will admit that I have done that more than once to ensure a moment or two to think, better yet not think. Since #2 and #3 are playing ball this summer he keeps saying he is going to play next summer. Poor thing feels left out of the hustle and bustle. I am not so sure he would enjoy the pressure to perform but we shall see. #2 can talk as she chooses but is easily engrossed in her writing or reading. Conversations with her are based on real life events, or thoughts about futu...

Ugh!

My husband has this cough, ANNOYING cough which appears to have absolutely no purpose in life. I must endure in silence because I am pretty sure he wouldn't do it if he could help. Yet all I can think of is the last time I tried to be politely quiet which back fired. Stop me if you have heard this story, or well skim ahead. :) I was awaiting the birth of #2. It was night and I was 9 cm dilated. Although this was my 2nd full term child, it was my first real labor with #1 being a breech c-section. The time approached 9pm and the thoughtful well practiced nurses encouraged me to "get some rest" before I was to push. You never know how short or long pushing turns into so I readily agreed (the epidural making it possible to think about relaxing in the first place). All (as in the 4 other people) were kicked out of the room but hubby decided to come back. I suppose his concept of not leaving me completely alone was well intentioned but what took place was far from helpful. I ...

Valentines, Boys and food

Last night all 3 big kids sat with me on the little couch reading books. One of them was called will you be my valentine. Michael asked what a valentine was and as I was explaining about "boy" friends and boy friends/ girl friends and "girl" friends. Annabeth then says so you and Daddy knew each other when you were kids. I tell her no and she gets confused. She asked some more questions suprised to hear that Daddy wasn't my only boyfriend. She asks if I kissed the other boys and I hestitated but said yes. She asked how old I say when you are 16 you might kiss a boy, HA! Daddy chimes in and says more like 20. All the kids yell at him because he usually does add something to tease with. Annabeth then covers her mouth and says I am NOT going to kiss a boy. Jan 1st 2010 we were heading to eat Chinese. It was 10:30am. Joey said I haven't eaten breakfast. I said well you should have done that before we were leaving can't you wait. He said nothing so I left t...
