More Zoe bday

Then a smiley photo of Zoe enjoying her bday cake :)

Finally, a terrible video by me of half naked Zoe with her birthday cake.

Memorable Quotes from Robert

Bowling is good. Bullying is not good.

Oppy MEEEEE

I've been a might bit slack on the photos lately. Partly because Robert has been sneaking off and taking awful pictures of me and partly because I've been busy being an awesome wife and mother *sarcasm*

But here is the first in the "Oppy MEEE" Series. Zoe is pretty excited that FINALLY it's HER birthday, and we've learned how to sing Happy Birthday (sort of) and how to tell everyone it's Oppy Meeee (Happy Birthday for ME!!!)

It happened.

While I'm in the admitting mood, 'it' happened. The cheesy schmoopy moment that get forwarded in emails and is the constant inspiration for Hallmark cards.

It was a cold and dreary day in Houston. Okay, it was 50F (BRRR) and gray. Robert was strangely unwilling to go to school and quite teary about it. Later, I sat on the couch with Zoe, watching WordWorld for the 653rd time (Hey- it won an EMMY and it's from PBS, that's practically educational, right?)

Then it hit me. They WILL grow UP!! OH NO!!! MY BABIES are growing up! (Shed a tear for me now) It lasted about 23 seconds before Zoe got up and started coloring her belly with markers. But finally, almost 4 years in, I had my gushy mommy moment. So maybe after all, I will make it through this mommy job :)
