Happy Memorial Day!!!

Just a quick post to say Happy Memorial Day from our 5 little people to YOURS.... And, our YOUNGEST little person was feeling quite dramatic and DIDN'T want to pose for Mom's Memorial Day pic in her WAY TOO CUTE Poppy Dip skirt :) So...she threw herself onto her brother Hal and refused to look at me....
And, she then hid behind Hal basically choking him which caused ALL KINDS OF LAUGHS from her siblings (which she's always going for :)

Julia "peeling" her off of Hal.................


Now she attaches herself to Julia and STILL refuses to look at me..............
Julia successfully turns her around just in time for George to run away, Hal to get his "rabbit fingers" up and LL to start crying....Oh, well....the cute pic just isn't happenin' today :) LOL
Ok, Mommy to the rescue...and now Hal ran away too...Oh, well...You win some..you lose some :) Hey, but the Poppy Dip Skirts are still VERY CUTE either way..and yes, you'll see them again for the 4th of July...so act surprised!! :) Oh, and you can find them at www.itspoppydipblog.blogspot.com if you are interested...All proceeds go towards their 3rd adoption from Ethiopia!! :)
**Happy Monday, Happy Memorial and certainly remembering and honoring all those that went before us so that we can stand here today in FREEDOM!! kj

  5. Kristi, we co-sleep as well and because my husband is Asian it was his culture that influenced me so much. Co-sleeping is very normal and natural and when we look at every other culture in the world the western culture is one of the few that do not openly accept this idea. As far as the having sex question from a previous poster...there are at least 3 hours hat all children are asleep and hubby and I have time. There is more than one place in our house to be intimate. We don't limit ourself to our bedroom. When we finally go to bed at night, it is to sleep. We also remind ourself that this is a season of life and they won't always want to sleep with us. Co-sleeping easily works for us but it may not for other families. Either way, I wish it wasn't viewed as so strange. It does no burden our marriage at all.
