Five years ago today, every cliché about parenthood proved true. You were born and both of our lives began. I gave you the names of the two greatest men I could think of without realizing the size of the shoes that went along with those names, but you are filling them perfectly, and you don’t even know it. Happy birthday, Carson Atticus. These five years have been nothing short of awesome.

Hmmm...

So...after nearly a year, I'm wondering if Blogger will let me post. Let's find out...

Blog Problems!

I've been trying to post new things on here for more than a month, but blogger wasn't working. I've finally fixed it! Man...do I have some catching up to do! Stay tuned!!!

Birthday Disclaimer

Poki is having an out-of-this-world party this weekend, so if you are here to see the traditional birthday post, please check back after Mom has been released from her outer space party planning headquarters.

I guess she'll just have to give up on winning mother-of-the-year this year.

The Return of the Poki-isms

Mom: I DVRed Kung Fu Panda; do you want to watch it sometime?

Poki: I don't think so.

Mom: I don't mean today, but maybe we can watch it another day.

Poki: No thank you.

Mom: Really? Why don't you want to watch it?

Poki: I really like pandas, but I do NOT like when pandas eat with chopsticks.

Busy, Busy!

Sorry--no time to talk. I've got sooo many emails to answer.

We Haven't Forgotten About You!

This is just a note to tell you all how sorry we are that we haven't posted anything new in nearly a month! Mom got a virus on her computer, so little Laptop went to live on a nice farm upstate with acres and acres where he can run and play. (Translation: It had to be put down). We have a camera full of fun stuff to show you...and we hope to be able to...someday. In the meantime, she's got to get around to installing her camera software on Dad's desktop.

Soon!

(We hope)
