Delaney - Deep Thoughts

Setting: Our House
Situation: Delaney wanting her mom to carry her up the stairs

Melissa: You are getting too old for me to carry you.
Delaney: You're old too!
Melissa: I am not!
Delaney: Yes you are...but there are two kinds of old.
Melissa: There are? What are they?
Delaney: There's the tall kind of old where you get bigger. That's what you are.
Melissa: What's the other kind of old?
Delaney: The kind where you get bumpy and slow.


Setting: In the car on the way to swimming lessons
Situation: Conversation between Derek and Delaney

Delaney: PaPa's skin is different.
Derek: Different than who?
Delaney: Me, you, Mommy.
Derek: Different how?
Delaney: It doesn't match.
Derek: How?
Delaney: The color doesn't match.
Derek: Why doesn't it match?
Delaney: It's a mix between blonde and black.

Star of the Week!

Its official.....Delaney has begun her reign as "Star of the Week" at her school. Its an honor that entails filling out a bio sheet (containing important info like favorite food and favorite book), bringing in a movie of her choice for movie day and finally having 4 handpicked photos talked about in class and added to the Star of the Week bulletin board.

We are proud of her and I feel like I need to be star of the week at work just to fit in.

Morning Conversation with Delaney

Gotta love the honesty of kids. Here is an exchange from last week between Delaney and I while laying in bed one morning (after she crawled into bed)....Enjoy

Delaney: "Daddy you stink"
Derek: "What do you mean I stink"
Delaney: "You smell bad"
Derek: "What smells bad?"
Delaney: "Your breath stinks"
Derek: "What does it smell like?"
Delaney: "It smells like poop"
Derek: "What kind of poop"
Delaney: "Animal poop daddy....yeah your breath smells like animal poop"

Gotta love kids.....(p.s. its not that bad)

House

It's been awhile...Below are pictures of our house (before we moved in). Our desktop is finally up and running (which has Adobe Photoshop on it), so here they are. I will email everyone the address. If you don't get an email, let us know and one of us will get it to you.
