She's Handy With a Knife

This explains a lot. I thought I was going crazy when I would find her in rooms I was sure I had locked.

Say What.....Take 2

Conversation at my visiting teaching appointment this past week.



Visitee: "Do you have a partner?"



Me: My face turns red as my mind contemplates what she is implying. "Um, yes. His name is Marcus and he is at work right now......." And then I mumble something about "we" being married.



Some awkward silence.



Visitee: "I meant a visiting teaching partner. I figured you had a husband if you adopted through LDS services."



What in the koo-hay was my mind thinking? That this near 70 year old lady was asking if I was a lesbian or living with my boyfriend? Next month I'm going to do the question asking.

Maxee

Zannah has now dropped "Baby Max" and moved on to Maxee, much to Marcus's dismay. I always think you can't love them anymore than when they are newborns, yet I do.

We still can't bring ourselves to cut his hair, even though he needs it. I vow to cut it before it gets too mullet-ish.

Max occasionally smiles, mostly when he is dozing off. He has yet to last more than 3 hours before needing to eat again, I think we were spoiled with Zannah's early sleeping habits.

He was 12 lbs and 23 inches at his 2 month check-up. The doctor proclaimed him perfect today, but that we already knew.

The Fourth

We spent the 4th in Colorado with almost all of the Gilleland clan. Homemade rootbeer, homemade ice cream, cotton candy, flag raising, games, tie dye shirts, late nights, mountain ranch, horny toads, and FAMILY. My favorite part was Grandad telling us about his life and his ancestors.

And Z still loves those big dogs.
