This was the best picture Lauren would give us. Really. Her "cheese" face is a mix of pain and ADHD.
Gabe is loving life outside of the womb. He gets to pee on Mommy's bed, poop his pants, and smile without provocation.
We're headed up to Idaho this weekend to bless him. We'll see how he handles the 16 hour nighttime drive. Daddy sure loves it.
To end, we give you the Ocotillo in our front yard. It looks like a bunch of sticks placed in the ground with little leaves pasted to them. Look closely and you will understand why we refer to it as the "Trick-you-into-thinking-I-am-harmless-so-you-will-grab-me-and-then-I-will-reveal-my-cleverly-leaf-hidden-spines-that-are-all-over-me-and-will-stab-you-and-make-you-say-naughty-words-in-front-of-the-children-and-patiently-wait-for-you-to-forget-that-I-am-pokey-and-jab-through-your-clothing-when-you-get-too-close-again" evil plant.
Seriously, though. That is not a friendly plant. It looks harmless from a distance, but in the immortal words of John Cleese: "Look at the bones, man!" A leafless Ocotillo reveals its true nature.

LOVING this blog. Could come here anyday for some good comic relief. :)
ADHD and Pain probably mix all the time, so rightly so for Lauren. ;)
Gabe looks so healthy, chunky and ADORABLE! Jeremy likes peeing on Mom's bed too. Oh wait...did I just say that outloud?
Oh and it's a good thing you have a name for the plant growing in your yard. I'm not sure if it (the name) is going to REALLY inform people enough. Hopefully you will think of a few more words to add.
;)
Have a great trip to Idaho! Say hello to the mountains for us!
