Well, folks, it's official...we have jumped on the blogger bandwagon. I've been thinking about doing this for some time now, but the only reason it actually came to fruition at all is because Jeremy took the initiative to set up the site for our fam. (Thanks, Jer! Thank heavens we have your motivation to get things done!) Only trouble is, I'm not quite sure what to blog about now. Perhaps that's because I've never been a night person, but here I am sitting at the computer at 11:29 p.m. (way past my preferred bedtime), and not thinking so clearly. I'm sure something will come to mind eventually, so check back often, and maybe, just maybe, we'll eventually post again!

welcome!
Our friends and family are spreading further and further across the country, so hopefully this will give us a better chance at staying in touch. (We've historically not been the greatest at keeping up with everyone...sorry if you are one of "everyone".)
Stay as long as you like and leave us a post if 'eyuntoo'!

the outtakes
Macy told me, "Mommy, I love you more than Daddy, bee-tuz (because) you have a pink shirt like me!"
-2009 February
Nolan, after yet another morning of anxiety about afternoon pre-school, "I'm not going to school until I'm 20!"
-2009 February
Nolan, after seeing some kids show up for swim lessons wearing swim caps, "Mom, where do you buy a swim cap?"
Mom: "I don't know...I guess where they sell swim stuff."
Nolan: "Do you want to ask Michael Phelps?"
-2008 August, during the Olympics, of course
While shopping for some school clothes for Nolan:
Mom: "Nolan, do you like this shirt?"
Nolan: "No! If we buy that shirt, it will make me turn dumb!"
-2008 August
A conversation in the car on the way to Aunt Ali's house:
Nolan: "Mom, look at the fire trucks! Did you know that's what I'm going to drive when I grow up? Macy, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Macy: (toddler gibberish)
Nolan: "She said she wants to be a tooth fairy! She's going to grow wings and go around and take people's teeth out!"
-2008 August
Nolan: "If the whole world were on fire, would space be on fire, too?"
-2008 August
Nolan runs around crazy fast then puts his hand on his chest and says, "Mom, do you want to feel my heart beep?"
Macy helped herself to the oatmeal container in the cereal cupboard. By the time I found her, she had oatmeal spread all over the kitchen floor! I said, "Macy, is this naughty?" She looked at me immediately and said, "Mo!" (her version of "No!").
Nolan finished the yummy macaroni salad (made by Shannon) tonight within two minutes tops! He asked for more, but I told him he needed to eat some of his other food first. He replied, "But that salad was so yummy that I can't eat anything else!"
Today Nolan and Macy were playing the Let's Go Fishin' Game. I hear Nolan yell, "Mom, I need the power bait!" then a few seconds later, "Reel him in! Reel him in!" If only Daddy and PawPaw could have been there!
We were in the car on an errand when Nolan said, "Oh no! Mom! We forgot to wipe off my milkstache!" (aka milk mustache)
Nolan: "Mom, do you know how pretty you are?"
Mom: "How pretty?"
Nolan: "Pretty enough to pinch your cheeks!"
Nolan, while unwrapping a piece of minty gum, "Did you know that gum is made of dried-up toothpaste?"
Nolan: "Mom, I love you all the way around the world twenty times!"
We keep the cereal in the lazy susan next to the cabinet under the sink. The other morning Macy beat me to the kitchen for breakfast. By the time I realized what she was doing, she had three bowls out of the tupperware drawer, and cereal poured all over the kitchen floor!
Nolan has a four-year-old cousin Elena (aka Leini). He told me the other day, "Mom, Leini says I can marry her when we get big enough."

I can't tell you how happy this makes me that you have a blog!! I'll send you an email with my two blog addresses. Yes, I'm hooked. It's a great way to stay in touch and I'm excited that I'll get to hear more from your fam!
Ooh, we love the late night Karla! Congrats on jumping on the bandwagon. We're excited to stay in (better) touch with you guys.
YAY!!!
Great family photo, by the way!
I think you should make all your posts after 1:00 am so that we can read posts from crazy Karla. We sure miss you guys. It will be nice to read your blog to see how you are doing.

Great, now that you have joined the 21st century that is going to put a lot more pressure on me to figure out how to join... it'll probably only take another 10 years or so for me to figure it out. Our blog will be just getting started about the time teleporting is a reality and blogging is so yesterday. Maybe if Jer flies out to Mississippi he can get us set up too.
Thanks for thinking of us! Karla, you look great. I love the fact that your little girl has her hands in both of her pockets...very sweet! Rebecca
