"Pipper down!

I said we have a pipper down!" Well, I wouldn't call it a "pipper" necissarily. Our internet connecction has taken a vacation without telling us! How rude is that?? Actually, I think it has more to do with our new computer... at least that's what Jared says. I'm posting from our little lappy, which gets great reception only there's one problem: I have no pix to post!! Urg!! So... I won't be posting any pics.. Boohoo.

In an effort to make this post a good one I actually planned on sharing a bit about my Tay before posting some radicle new pics. I wanted to share with all my wonderful readers how blessed i am to be a full time mama. I am grateful that my husband can go to work and support us while we ( me and Tay) run around and do very important jobs like, sing ABC's, drink cold milk, take naps ( tay, not me silly!) read books, look out the window ( we would go for walks but he's sick right now and it's raining.. a lot!) play the piano and sing all at the same time. We have very important things to do during the day and I am so glad that I am able to do them with my Tay. Now, you may think these things to be.. borring, mundane, a little cooksy or silly, but in reality, they are so much more than that. I can see in Tay's eyes that he is having a ball and that he is learing and growing. He is so smart and i think he has already passed me up!

The other day we were sitting on the floor in his room just messing around with some toys and he came over to me and looked right at me and smiled and started giggling. Now, my first reaction was, " Yeah, I know. I'm silly looking! I would laugh too!" But then I realized that we were making memories and that no one could replace the time I am spending with him. I am currently setting a schedule for the both of us so we can more fully enjoy our time together and have a peaceful life. One of those things is to have Tay go over to a friends house and play for a few hours while I get some work done. At first, i didn't want to do it, but I realized that, this was the best for both of us. He could go play with some buddies of his and I can have a sense of indivuality and accomplishment ( other than being a mama). I whole heartily believe that women need to get a hobby or be involved in something they were born to do.. and do it!

There are so many women in my life who have taught me that very thing. And, it's great knowing that my family comes first. I made a promise to myself when I decided to go for it and be an official business, that if at any point in time the business started to become more important than my family.. I'd slam the brakes hard and reevaluate the situation.. and fast! So back to Tay..

He has been sick the last few days with a double ear infection and some major congestion. It's funny how much mamas are needed in a time of sickness. And even in the midst of being sick he still copies me when I make a quacking noise with his rubber ducky and push it off the side of the tub. Its the funniest thing. He say's, " baf" whenever he looks in the bathroom. he's so cute.

Anyway, this is an insanely long post and I am getting so tired... Thanks for reading and hug your little ones every chance you get.. even if their bigger than you. :)

Smiles,
