What's a Smurth?

A few Victoria stories and David update:

Victoria is always doing something that makes me laugh. David makes me laugh by just being David but Victoria is at that fun age where you never know what she will say. Last week we were coloring and she had blue marker all over her hands. It was a dry erase marker so it was a bit tricky to wash off. I looked at her little blue hands and said, "You look like a Smurf." She said, "What's a Smurth?"

Victoria loves to eat out. She would load up on butter pats and creamer cartons if I let her. We were eating dinner with my parents on Saturday and I never noticed Victoria take a creamer carton and pull of the foil lid. I was giving the server our order when Vic looked at me whimpering with creamer splattered all over her face. She had the most pitiful embarrassed look on her face. You would have though she spilled a whole cup of milk. Her face, hair, and shirt were really wet. I wanted to laugh so hard but I controlled myself and cleaned her up. I never said a word about it. I think she learned her lesson well enough!

David is really happy little boy. He doesn't like TV unless Baby Einstein is on. That is the only show that will make him stop in his tracks. David wants to be outside all the time and he loves his bath. He is so easy!

January

This year started off great. Will shot his second deer of the season and I won something fun off the radio (trip to meals in the making) and we got a positive pregnancy test. Things were going well until Wedensday. I started having problems and miscarried. It was not easy but I am doing a lot better now. I really believe that God has his hand on my life and that we will have another child in his perfect time. Thanks for your prayers! It has really helped me through this.

We spent the weekend at the farm and that was really great. It was nice to walk in the woods and enjoy the 75 degree weather! I sat in the shooting house with Will but we didn't see anything. I am starting to love the farm more and more. It is so funny how life changes! I used to be the girl that never drove with the windows down because it messed up my hair! Now, I don't even use hairspray! I drive with the windows down every chance I get. I still wear make-up at the farm so I haven't totally gone off the deep end! : ) Don't worry.

Victoria and David are as fun as ever. Victoria is writing her name at school and got a trip to the teacher's treasure bag. She got a doll that she kept right with her all weekend. We made her a bed out of a plastic basket and a hand towel. It was funny how much she loved her prize that the teacher probably got from a happy meal! David is like Victoria in that he loves going to the farm. Every Saturday morning he brings us his shoes and socks. He stands by the door waiting for us to open it so he can explore. He is cute in his bright orange hat and John Deere t-shirts. Victoria loves to go outside but she is SO LOUD that we worry it disturbs the deer and fellow hunters. We try to keep them around the house and only take long walks when we don't plan to hunt.

Here is a little PSA for those who like to laugh. Watch The Office on NBC Thursday nigths. I sure have needed to laugh this year and this show certainly sends me laughing until my sides hurt. I've only seen three episodes so I'm new to the show. I taped it just to see what it was all about. OKAY... FUNNY!!! Set your TIVOS and watch. Let me know what you think.
