He Returneth!

Alex was in North Carolina this week for some training for his job. His outgoing flight was delayed on Sunday (oh darn! : )) and then his first flight home out of N.C. was delayed which meant he missed his connecting flight which meant he spent the night in Cincinnati, Ohio! He finally made it home at 11:00 this morning. We were very glad to have him back with us! Although, Jasmine decided that a fair punishment for his absence would be a nibble on his nose!



This week we discovered the love of chewing on toothbrushes. I can't really explain to you why this is such a big hit, but there are tears shed each time the toothbrushes are taken so they can be fed, diapered, bathed, etc. Ah, phases... : )


This is the second time my two friends and I braved eating at a sit-down restaurant with four children the same age! They do amazingly well!! They love to look around, look at each other, eat off the table, and of course throw everything on the floor. This time we ate at Red Robin and they couldn't have been more accommodating! Our server was so pleasant and flexible with our moderate chaos.


A close second in favorite activities is hunting down the remotes and fighting over them. I've taken to quickly stashing them in the couch cushions whenever I see a child near...this inevitably leaves us baffled when we need the remotes in the evening!


Belle deserves a medal - a large medal made out of juicy steak - to reward her for her endless patience with the girls. They kiss her, pet her, pat her, pull her fur, explore her paws, poke her eyes, and the list goes on. She just lays there - doesn't flinch - but occasionally licks them only to encourage another round of mauling!



And two cute pictures of Jasmine just for fun!
