So Where Do We Begin?

I know most everyone already knows what we've been up to. But for those of you who keep in touch via blog only... Woa! So much has changed for our little family so quickly. As you probably know (knew?), Mark was planning on starting a residency in periodontics this summer, and we were going to be spending three more years in Indiana. That didn't happen. Long story short, lots of crap happened, and we decided it was in our best interest to both be finished with school and get started with "real life." So we started packing...

Above: Boston in his new "play pen" while we packed. He refuses to be in the pack and play now that he can stand and furniture cruise. So we stuck him in our cleared out closet to play while we worked.

And packing led to putting the house up for sale. There's a long story there; maybe I'll post about it once we figure out what the crap is going on with it! Anyway, we headed out to Brentwood, CA to look for jobs. We are still waiting on our licenses, but so far things are looking good. We are loving it out there and are happy to be by family again. Don't know that Nikki is quite as happy to have us SO close!

I have so much more to post, so stay tuned... Boston's first birthday is coming up also, so I'm sure there will be even more to post in the next few days.

Quotable Quotes

The other day Boston and I were at the church for a little singing play group. He must have been getting sick of it, because half way into it, he runs across the room, drags over the diaper bag, hands me the strap, and says, "Come on, mom. Let's get outta here!"

Today I go to get in my car and open the door for Boston to climb in. He runs over to Mark's car and says, "No, mommy! I wanna my daddy's car!"

After asking Boston if he wants a cheeseburger... "No! I not cheeseburger! I nuggets!" We go through this everyday, as he usually wants nuggets or a hot dog, no matter what I'm offering.

Getting Boston ready for bed... Me: "Boston, do you want to wear your Mickey Mouse pants?" Boston: (squealing) "Yes! Hot Dog, Hot Pants!"

Today Mark is eating a grapefruit, and Boston (thinking it's an orange) wants some. Mark puts a small piece into Boston's open mouth... Boston looks at Mark with a look of deepest digust, spits it out, does a full-body shudder, and says, "Ucky, be-be! Ucky, be-be!"

The other day Boston tells Nikki, "Mama, I wanna nugget!" He later tells me, "Mama! Mama! I wanna coke!" Lovely.

Me: Boston, what does a doggie say? Boston: Arf, arf, Pluto!

The other day, Boston was watching Mickey Mouse (as always) and I told him we were going bye-bye. He turns to the TV and says, "OK, bye-bye, see ya, Dedo (Pluto), Daisy, Mmmm Mouse!" This kid is so dang cute!

This afternoon I asked Boston if he wanted some fruit snacks. He got a huge grin on his face, said, "Yeah!", followed me to the kitchen, and when I handed him the pack, he exclaimed, "Ooooooh, deg-nuh (thank you)!" Too cute.

Mark talking about how much he has been taking care of Boston (and thus changing diapers) the past month... "I'm getting so good! I changed a really stinky one the other day, and I only gagged once! I was proud of myself!"

Mark singing to Boston, who is fussy with gas, "I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt, and send it down the drain!"
