Picture Update!

Weeellllll hello.

It has been approximately 3.5 months since I've last been here in this little corner of the inter webs. So, there's a lot I need to catch you up on but between a teething toddler and a sleep regression and a growth spurt, I'm really just too tired. So for now, I'll do a picture update and when I find the time/energy, I'll do a real post.

Promise.

This was in our first house here in Conneticut. She was still a baby...

Sad face.

This was Cali's first ever time watching T pitch!

She has since grown to LOVE going to baseball games.

She's obviously not my child.

Daddy/daughter time.

She loves him.

T is so good about making sure that when he's home, he spends as much quality time with her as possible.

First time seeing the Statue of Liberty!

She looks just like T.

Fireworks on the 4th!

T made the All-Star team!

Beach trip with my fan :)

She looooooves her cousin, Cooper.

Slumber party!

Family selfie.

I'm training her to do all of my cooking and cleaning.

They make my heart melt.

Baseball game shenanigans.

Breakfast and books.

She literally turned into a toddler overnight.

We FaceTime A LOT when T is on the road.

Silly faces.

Wutchu lookin at?

I mean, seriously.

T came home from a road trip so we woke up at midnight to color with him.

Miss Personality.

Like I said, there's a lot more to catch up on but right now, the only thing I plan on catching up on is sleep.

Flying

This has been an overall crazy week.  Between T traveling, Cali playing the no-sleep game, and some other outside stuff going on, it's needless to say that I could use a breather (or caffeine IV).  So to rest the cobwebs that currently inhabit my brain I decided to share another one of T's writings...

First, he wanted me to explain something to you.  And he wanted me to be extremely clear, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.  

That's what I heard, not what he said. 

 His writing is a...wait for it...poem.  He didn't want others to think that he wasn't a manly, tough guy. 

 What a delicate ego.  

In his defense he is back in school trying to finish his degree and one of the teachers that was willing to work with his schedule is the head of the Georgia Tech Poetry department.  Apparently for today's class, he was supposed to have researched a poem and prepared himself to read it aloud.  Since he missed the last Monday's class due to Cali's 6 month shots he also missed the announcement of the assignment.  Anyway, while in class he sent me a text (obviously not paying attention to class).  Here is that text.

Flying

I don't know much about the world
or the things in it.
Language and words escape me.
Facts and equations await me.
What I do know now, what I can feel now
is Freedom.

Freedom with arms stretched out.
A sense of danger and fear cannot phase
the security and safety his support provides.
Weightlessness. The wind. Happiness.
They envelop me.
For this flight around the yard
is ours to share.

 

I thought it was great. Flying is Cali's favorite thing to do so I felt like he hit the nail on the head.

Sorry ladies...

He's taken.

Until next time!
