A Caden Story

Caden is constantly saying things that just make you want to laugh out loud!! He's the most curious little boy asking a million questions about any little thing. For example, my parents have a raccoon in their attic that has eaten a whole through a soffet in their roof. We showed the hole to Caden last Sunday when we went over to their house for father's day. "How did it do that?" "Where is it now?" "What does it do at night?" and on and on for a good five minutes . . . This is how he is about EVERYTHING and it's pretty darn cute - most of the time :)

Caden has been pretty curious lately about his "part". "Why do only boys have a penis?" "Can I give mine to you (with a smile on his face) then you can be a boy too?" A couple of days ago he was sitting on a stool in my bathroom completely naked waiting his turn to get into the shower. He played with himself the whole entire time pulling the skin out, pushing it back in, etc. Total fascination - Well this morning he wakes up ( with his little erection) and says to me. "Look at my big penis mommy." "It growed" "Sometimes it does that." Instead of laughing out loud, I decided to write it down so that I can show it to him some day :)

Dance Recital

Grace had her dance recital on Memorial Day weekend. It was the last big "scheduled" event we had before summer could officially begin. I was a backstage mom which means that I was the mom in the room with the girls until they performed. It was at the Eisemann center in Richardson on a HUGE stage. The girls waited backstage in the actual room that real performers use with all the mirrors and the lights. During each of Grace's two dances I was able to stand in the wings and watch her do her ballet and tap routines. This is her third year taking dance with Sarasue's and it has been fun to watch the progression of her abilities. I always immediately choke up the minute the lights come on and the music starts. I am so proud of her and it makes me realize that my little girl is growing so quickly!

The Duluth Harbor Expedition!!

All of us had a great time going to the harbor to see the big boat! Duluth posts the times that the boats are expected to arrive and a lot of tourists like us head out there and watch the boats come in. It was a fun time!

Dylan's Graduation Party

My whole family flew to Duluth, MN for my nephew Dylan's graduation party. He is the first one of my nephews to graduate from high school. We had a lot of fun in Duluth, but it was REALLY cold for us Texans. We were not prepared for 40 degree weather when the weather websites before we left said 70's. The next few postings will be about our trip!
