The Marrying Type

Yesterday, Georgia was chatting with one of her best buddies, Sadie, they were discussing marriage.  Georgia proudly announced that when she grew up she was going to marry Leo.  I didn't say a word, quietly smiling, enjoying overhearing this conversation.  Sadie is two years older than Georgia and a little wiser to how it all works, she said, Georgia, you can't marry Leo, he's your brother!  She was adamant, "Yes, Sadie, I'm going to marry Leo!"  Then they turned to me, "can she really marry Leo?"  I didn't give an answer one way or the other so the girls continued their conversation.  Georgia then said, in a tone that gave the impression she had it all figured out and was letting Sadie in on a little secret, "Sadie, my dad is already married so I have to marry Leo!"
Ah, let us soak up the moments when Georgia believes that her dad and her brother are the only men she'll ever need.

Camp Montana 2014

We just completed another successful trip to Whitefish to visit Grammy and Grandpa at Camp Montana. Brian had to stay behind to complete his training for Alaska so the kids and I headed over.  We had fun on the alpine slide, swimming, fishing, treasure hunting, art camp and a whole lot of cousin time for the kids.  Leo did not display his best sleeping skills but between great meals, wine and maybe a martini or two I enjoyed our time too! Thanks for another great trip Grammy and Grandpa!

Go Germany!

On Sunday, the World Cup final game was played, it was Germany vs. Argentina.. can you guess who we were rooting for?

We made sure that Mr. Germany knew his number one fan was cheering them on.

Sixteen Months

Leo, today you are 16 months old and I can hardly believe all of the things you can do!  You are constantly taking note of things happening around you and often mimic what the big kids do.
You love the water, we just got back from Montana where you were jumping off of big kick boards right into the pool, I would scoop you up and you'd immediately say, "more" even the swim instructor said, "that kid is fearless!"
You continue to have a rough time sleeping though the night and I have told you that it's a good thing you're so handsome because mommy likes her sleep!
I never knew how much fun it would be to have a boy, I have no doubt you have many adventures in your future!

 Everyone tells me you're going to be a football player, as your mom, 

I keep suggesting other, less physical sports... we'll see.

 Handsome fella 

 You clearly loved wearing the pink, princess life jacket in Montana 

 You certainly found a buddy in Grandpa

Loving your big-boy cousin, Blake

I found you doing this, clearly observing what the big kids do!
