Veterans Day

Here is a picture of Pantera deep in thought. She had to write the reasons why she loves her family after she asked if I would "Call the adoption people" again. She threw a fit so I took away her Star Wars paraphernalia. This caused her to wail "I can't survive without it, I'll die, I can't live!" over and over for about an hour. Good times. On a cuter note, she got in the car so excited after school yesterday. "Guess what? Uncle Alex might be at my school tomorrow!" I tell her that he is in Afghanistan and he probably will not be there. She replies "You don't know. My school invited Veterans from the Army. Uncle Alex is in the Army so I am gonna sit by him!" Nothing I could tell her could convince her otherwise, I hope she isn't to crushed when he isn't there.

I love his cheesy little face! The other day I layed Amari down for a nap. Zeke found a blanket that he thought she should have so he brought it to me. When he saw she wasn't in my lap he started to panic "Beebee? Beebee a hoo hoo?" (Baby where are you?). Then he found her and woke her up.

Amari turned 7 months yesterday! She makes this face that cracks me up whenever she gets excited. I was thrilled to catch it on camera!

I guess she was done with her photo shoot!

6

Pantera is 6! She is such a sweet girl. We are so lucky to have you in our family Tera!

Happy Halloween!

Ashoka

We had our trunk or treat last night. Pantera was so proud of her costume. She is Ashoka from Clone Wars.

I play...

Stinkin blogger isn't letting me post pics right now so I will only share a little. Today Zeke told me "I poo" and he smelled really bad. I was happy that he told me, thinking we were on our way to recognizing the feeling and potty training. I change his diaper and there is nothing in it. I said "Zeke where is the poop?" He says "I pay poo" (I play poop). I ask again "Zeke where is the poop?" He says "I pay kee poo" (I play kitty poop). I am so thrilled he is putting together sentences! I play kitty poop, I mean how much cuter can you get? SO GROSS ZEKE!

GLorious Maxima

I was going to post the other day, but believe it or not I HAD NO NEW PICTURES!!! Of my kids anyway. I started a photo blog for my other work if you want to check it out.
Yes, I am posting blurry unedited pics tssk, tssk. I love that he jumps with his tongue out. I moved Zeke's bed into Tera's room last weekend. He slept the whole night in there last night! He usually ends up in bed with us and Jess woke up in a panic around 4am when he reached for Zeke and he wasn't there. Zeke's new favorite thing is car toys, he loves to line them up and put them in the VCR and scream that they are stuck when he can't get them back out...so much fun!

Pantera was wearing this green shirt the other day and I told her how it makes her eyes look more green and that it was beautiful. She does a couple slow blinks and says "You can take some pictures of me...if you want." So I went inside and got my camera.

When Jess was tucking her into bed to other night she told him "Nice glorious maxima, do you know what a glorious maxima is Dad? It's a BUTT!" I was trying so hard not to laugh. Then last night I was on the phone with a friend who is due anyday and after I got off, Pantera asked what was wrong with my friend. I told her "She went to the doctor and was hoping the baby was coming soon, but the doctor said not yet. " Pantera shakes her head and says "(Sigh) I know that feels."

6 months

Little Miss Amari is 6 months old today!
