Eating with daddy

I thought this was just too darn cute, Kujo and Nela eating their beans and plantains.

Nela is such a good eater. I don't think she's tried a thing she didn't like.

I believe she was eating this time just after she finished her real meal.

Have you seen this face?

It looks so much prettier in color, but have you caught this picture in the paper lately? Nela is starring in a promo ad for the Babies of 2007.

Kujo finally started nursing school. It's been nice through the week because he's home more than he was before since he's only working weekends now. He does a lot of studying, but he does take that family time out that we all love.

...sure, sometimes we can get on each others nerves (LOL, just kidding, watching those glasses will ya)

but the bonding time is wonderful for everyone.

Glasses for Brayden

I was a bit behind but I took Brayden to the eye doctor for the first time last month. They said his vision close up was good, but far away was not so good. So ... he got glasses.

I am so proud at how responsible he's been with them. He takes them off at gym class or when he's being rough (OK, at least he tells me he does), and at bedtime they always go in the case. This weekend may be the exception. He had a sleep over with Ann, James and the kids and his case was in the car.

This is kind of a goofy photo but he really looks cute in the glasses. He reminds me of my nephew Derek when he was little with glasses.

For parents of young ones, keep this in mind because you don't hear it too often, but kids should go to the eye doctor before school. I can't believe he's 7 and just now went. He's been going to the dentist since he was a year old.

Downed computer

My computer is not really down, but it's a at the shop getting more memory and the Kodak Easyshare program off of it. I tried to uninstall it myself, with no luck. I actually never had luck getting it loaded properly. The repair man said it took about two hours to get it off the computer. Lucky for me, Kujo has a laptop that I can keep in touch with. Sadly, I need my other computer to download my camera. I should have lots of pictures to upload when I get it back. I know, that's a shocker to everyone, me taking pictures, and a lot of them.

Everyone is doing well in the household. Brayden got glasses, Von returned from a weeklong visit with his dad and sisters, Nela's loving table food, Kujo started nursing school, and me, well I'm just fabulous and loving married life.

For my friends and family who read my blog that live in the area, Nela's picture has been running in an ad in the paper for Babies of 2007. Check it out. Kujo and I had our wedding announcement in the Dec. 30 paper.

As I sit here, I just remembered I didn't take a picture of my new bathroom floor (thanks Mom and Dad). We had the carpet taken out and vinyl put in. We love it. The kids just get the floor too wet at bathtime to have carpet. It's so easy now to dry it up with a towel and not have to walk on soggy carpet the rest of the night. My next step is painting and then eventually having my old neighbor tile the shower.

I'm out, it's almost time for Wheel of Fortune.
