A Look at Life Around Here

If you come over to our house ...

...Teddy might ask you if you want to pretend to be sick and then order you to lie on the couch so he can check you.  Chances are, you will have a stomach ache and will need to be fixed

...You will find a lot of books like these lying around.  These are the kinds of books Millie is checking out from the library (both school and public) these days.  She has been declaring that she wants to be the first woman president when she grows up ... I think she is studying up already!

 ... you will likely be handed a love letter (or three) from Merrill.  There are literally thousands, hundreds, okay, dozens of these all around the house (this is just one example)

... you might find Teddy sitting in a basket

... you will have a hard time finding a place to sit because all of our couches and chairs look like this;

 ... or this:

...you might be asked to join a family art session

...or play little legos in the basement (I will not subject you to a picture of what that looks like around here ...)

...and you'll probably be offered a piece of cake ('cause I like decorating them, but I certainly don't want to be eating them all!)

We have our ups and downs around here like all families and some days are better than others, but we're learning to navigate this crazy, messy, loud little life of ours.  So, come on over -- just please excuse the mess.
