A Normal Life in the Behner House!

Yes she is a very good kitty!! Gracie was a stray Kitten in OH when I first started dating Scott. I brought her home to NH and she is still around!! A super sweet kitty and super with Louisa! Louisa just started to pick her up, One pic looks like they are pointing their toes together! Chet got to wear Louisa's witch Hat! I think he looks like Louisa in a few of those shots! He also got his first shoulder ride on Daddy tonight! He loved eating his hair! :)

Snooze on DaddyO and Cabin Fever Tent time!!

I ran over to feed the Equines last night and Sweet little Chet took a snooze on DaddyO! Louisa calls him DaddyO lately it is funny! This am I had to get some toys put back in there spots! So I built a fort for Louisa with an old sheet, she and the Cat where quiet happy about it!! I did pretty good getting most of the toys put away, but as I type this more are making there way back into the living room!! Toy room are you done yet????

Water Droplet....Miss Louisa!

Two weeks ago Louisa started her first swim class as a Water Droplet at the works in Somersworth. My mum is a sweetheart and comes to keep Chet happy while we swim for 25 mins. The first class Louisa was wide eyed at all the half naked ladies in the locker room and HUGE loud pool we had to get in, she was nothing less than a SPIDER MONKEY for most of the first class! I find it rather funny the effort that goes into a 25 min class! Bags of towels undies and flip flops.....Baby Chet in tow, sleeping a lot a this point thank the heavens! Of course it has to be winter on top of it, which means layers of huge coats mittens and boots, and last minutes pee pees after you are dressed and ready to get out the door (with a bathing suit on remember!), or kinda get out the door. It is more of how much can I carry and get through two doors without pinching little fingers or dropping the keys or worse the baby, all the time cursing ever so softly so not the be heard by the every listening 3 yr old! Only to get to the car that is covered with 6 inches of snow.........! Kids locked and loaded like I like to say and my turn to brush of the snow.....well that is what I tell myself a quick brush off....well my van is big, but this morning it was enormous!! Covered in winter beauty........YUCK! Good thing I had my bathing suit on under my jeans of course (with the good ol mommy skirt...yah that is comfortable!) because I was totally soaked. Jump in the van high tail it out of the very snowy drive, all along answering the 10,000th question....What is that Mommy, what are you wet Mommy, Dada did not snow blow Mommy? Mommy...Why is there snow Mommy Why, Mommy I wanna watch Barney Mommy, Mommy did you bring my water Mommy.....I try to answer each question with ease and grace.......! Get stuck behind a plow and then a tow truck. Pick up Nanna, Mommy why are we picking up Nanna,?? Mommy, is Nanna coming to swim class......? Mommy is Nanna going to stay with Baby Brother....? Finally pull into swim class......get in the pool fifteen minutes late...swim for 15 mins........
15mins......15 mins......!! Well I guess we do this for the sweet little ones we love....Why Mommy Why.....a question I asked myself that day!!

Mt Washington Weekend 2010!!

Well this weeked turned out to be better than the best! We packed in more events than any other year so far!! It was great great fun, we had an adjoining room with the Nowlans and Louisa was over the moon to be able to be hanging with Monet and Teelin! Chet was awesome he slept better than Louisa ( like most night at home!! LOL ) Was so so so much fun, went to afternoon tea and ever go to ski a bit!

3 Months!

Our sweet Chet turned 3 Months this last week. He is growing and changing fast. He has his head pretty much under control, he likes to lay on his blanket and look at toys Louisa finds for him. He Sleeps between 2 and 6 hrs a night, seems like he has been enjoying his 3 month growth spurt with lots of nursing lately and 20 min cats naps during the day. He usually takes two or three hefty naps so I am looking forward to that returning! He is a very sweet baby and likes to talk and be carried around in the Moby, loves to watch me Wash the dishes! Louisa needed her turn on the pony after Chet had his :)

Louisa goes to the Dentist!

Louisa did so great this afternoon at her first Dentist appointment. She got all her teeth cleaned,flossed and counted! They said she was so good she acted like a 4 yr old!

Pond Fun!!
