She Got A Face!

We decided to name her "Liberty." To go with the Americana theme.

I just didn't want you to think she remained faceless and naked....

Getting Close

It's getting close to time for use to leave Ft Bragg.  And I'm all for moving closer to family.

But tonight a bunch of families from our block had an impromptu block party at our playground, and it was so much fun to visit and watch my (not so little) kids play.  And the beer and wine didn't hurt either.

I will miss this little neighborhood.

Party Dave

Party Dave was in major need of a haircut! But I was sooooo chicken.

I finally got up the nerve today, since it seems like so many of my friends cut their boys' hair all the time.

Here he was after nap time today... once again rocking the hawk.

And again at the park. Blowing in the wind.

It's not perfect, but it did look quite nice after bath time tonight.  It looks a million times better than it did!

Doll Distracted

As is usual for me and a new technique I get distracted and carried away.

Here's where I've been the past two evening when I should have been blogging:

Okay so that's not really a where, so much as a what I've been up to....

The doll far left, with the hair in progress, is for David.  Since he is always getting Molly and upsetting Lily I decided he needed his own baby.

The other two are test runs for a doll to add to an Americana themed basket that the ladies of our battalion have been asked to put together as a donation to a raffle.

Why only one doll has a mouth so far, I couldn't quite say.


And yes, I AM terrified of becoming some creepy doll lady.  Thank you for asking.

Flat Out

Dave's new thing. He randomly lays flat out on his back. One second he'll be following you, and the next he'll be lying down.

And today when I snapped his picture, he started to thrash.

Silly boy.

It's a Phone Day

Jacob has been using only his work phone since he returned from Afghanistan.  But since he'll be giving that phone back with the Change of Command a few weeks away, it was time to get him a phone again.  He was sweet enough to agree to take my iPhone 3GS as a hand me down and let me get a lovely new iPhone 4G!

So we spend an hour in the AT&T store this afternoon and now we both have iPhones.

I am super excited about the camera... and the video....

Before:

After:

 

Edit:  Okay, so after watching those vids compressed and published they don't look so different.  Rest assured the video clips I take for my children's future blackmail are far better quality now.  And I hope you enjoyed watching my kids antics.

VeggieTales

I'm sorry you have to listen to me sing in the beginning of this clip. But it's a sacrifice I am willing to make so you can hear Lily singing the theme song for VeggieTales.  We'd done it a bunch of times while we were driving in the car, so yes, that clicking you hear is my directional; not a metronome.

Sorry it's so quiet, its an iPhone thing.  Be assured I am the loudest so if you adjust your speakers for me you won't get your eardrums blown later in the clip.



Girl is so much fun.
