Polls

Ok...so we need some help. Alex's 2nd birthday is on a Tuesday...which will make it difficult to celebrate on the actual day. On the left, I have added a poll for some advice. We are going to go with a Curious George theme but not sure on the day.

Adjusting

Today, Alex did fairly well getting back on schedule. The only true confusion with this past weekend was him coming into the bedroom at 6am and YELLING..."Abuela! Abuelo!" right next to me. After he established who was in bed, he quickly crawled in and made himself at home

New Pictures

More February Pictures were uploaded to the Picassa Web Album. Hope you enjoy and leave a comment :)

Knots

This weekend, Uncly Johnny tied the knot and staying with Abuelos, Alex got a knot (from running into the wall). :)

No pictures... but...

a quick update. Since February 13th, I have noticed 2 2 year molars in Alex's mouth. The top right and bottom left (how weird!).

Alex's vocabulary has been exponentially growing. He is a little parrot with a memory like a steel trap. For instance... he caught me saying "shit" when I dropped the phone behind the desk and said it back twice with match ferocity. I am a bad mother....sigh

His other "great" new interests are cleaning and mixing. Everytime I step into the kitchen, Alex demands that we mix something. Plus everytime something spills on the ground, he demands we get the vacuum. (However, he has learned that I will not get the vacuum for 2 Cherrios!). He has even taken to making messes, just to demand the vacuum. His goal is to make his great Magnee proud.

A forward

My cousin, Karen, passed the following along through the email and I thought it was worth archiving. Enjoy!!!

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I am admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you have a Wonderful Valentine's Day!
