Out of paradise, back to reality.

We are back at home, and life is normal....as normal as it can be. Here is an addition to many pics of Race. He is mimicking us more and more everyday. And his anger management needs a little fine tuning....ok truthfully, it is nearly non-existent. He gets SOOO bent out of shape he will throw whatever may be in his hands, along with a disgusted scream. Quite comical, the hard thing is trying to laugh without him catching you. For example, the other day he was trying to balance a couch pillow on the steering wheel of his Radio Flyer. Well, he hasn't grasped the concept of balance yet. So he would put the pillow on the steering wheel, turn around to grab a Matchbox car,and the pillow was on the floor. First time this was acceptable. Next try same result, this time a small display of displeasure, slap the pillow. OK, the pillow should have learned, now let's try this again.....same scenario, same result. The anger however, is building RAPIDLY. After the fourth or fifth attempt goes bad the result is a COMPLETE meltdown, of monumental proportions, screaming, crying, and the propulsion of small objects at astonishing speeds!!! All the while Popi is semi-hidden and dying from the surpressed laughter. AAAAHHHHH the TERRIBLE TWO'S.



Time for this dirty little game of "hide and seek". The reason it is dirty is because this is what we wipe our feet on before entering the house.


"OK, enough of "the Man" holdin' me down. I know way more than my parents. I'm packin' up and I'm outie!"



Oh yeah can I get breakfast first?



Since Race was moving out we decided that we should add to the family since we kinda got used to the three of us. Say Hola to IGGY our new iguana.



This is one of those unique things you find that you just have to have. It is carved out of a solid chunk of solid stone. Can't wait until we get him home in our garden.



See most of you in a couple of weeks!
