Stuart is always inventive with the kids and fun stuff to do. I am usually worried with cooking and cleaning. He is great with entertaining the kids. I did take the kids driving in the neighborhood. Here are some great pictures of the kids have fun. John said " daddy, why are forks called forks/" Stuart said " because they are not called spoons?" So then Stuart had to name twenty different utensils before John stopped. Then he said "Daddy, why do you have hair on your face?" He came into our room on Sunday morning and informed us that it was 6:50 and the sun was up maybe he is part rooster. I am suppose to be studying for finals but I miss my family and can not seem to get motivated.

Lilac Bush in our yard

Saturday in May

I had to take Jacob over to a babysitting job at 6am. Jacob was slow and ill which made me ill. I will do anything to help him earn money. Jacob is extremely intelligent and hates school. He will have to earn his way because the typical routes will not fit his life plan. If Jacob could pitch a tent in the forest he would be fine. He reminds me that he will have a tent with a lotus park beside it. That boy loves cars and has since he was three. In the parking lots he use to look under the cars and tell me about the exhaust systems. I always pretended that I understood but really I had not clue. I love cars especially fast ones, convertibles, and cars that drive the road. But I really do not understand anything about them. Jacob can tell you how much every car in the world cost, how many seconds each car takes to get to 60, the features, and type of engine. He is mechanically inclined like a musician who plays by ear. He is not much for directions but I am the same way. Stuart on the other hand can follow directions and is mechanically sound. He could assemble a car if he had a great set of written instruction. Unfortunately, I throw the directions away and just look at it for a few minutes and then put it together. It is funny yet weird how we are all so different.

John is always hungry

John was eating from 3 plates do you think he was hungry. He is so sweet. Stuart did not get home until they were asleep last night. John came in my room at 6:15 and ask where his Daddy was. I told him that he was in the shower. He said "No, Mommy, I mean last night he was not at home". It was so sweet that John was thinking about his Daddy the rest of the kids did not even notice.

A Day at Panther Creek

I love my husband he is always trying to find fun things for the family to do that is "free". He took us to a park where he had finished a 5K race. It is a beautiful state park. We let the kids play in the water. John's pants blew up like a balloon in the water and he said "Mommy, look, I am just like Spongebob square pants". Stuart has been working too much overtime. We are getting ready to celebrate 19 years of being together. We met the third Thursday in May in 1990. I cooked dinner for him and we were suppose to be studying......well I am sure we did not open a book. We watch a movie Dead Poet's Society with Robin Williams. We had Italian food, bread, wine, and only Stuart can tell the story. He said " that I kept scooting closer to him all night." We have been an item since and I could not ask for anything more in my partner. I got the gold as they say! We sat on the front porch enjoying each others company last night. He always tells me that he loves me...every morning he kisses me and the children goodbye. Ashley and John fight over who gets the first kiss. They scream and say Daddy kiss mom on the lips! Why is that so funny?
