Kid Quotes

Here are a couple. One is from tonight. One was from a desperation stop at a McDonald's on the way home from Ohio after Christmas...

Tonight:
[Kirsten and Dan singing]
D: Now I get why kids are so embarrassed of their parents.
K: Right. Parents are old enough to not care if they look stupid. They're too old to be embarrassed.
D: Right. And we're way cooler than our parents were.
C: (Totally monotone without skipping a beat) Cool people don't say they're cool.


McDonald's:
K: Should we hit the road? (Claire) do you want to take those fries with you?
D: OK, Claire, go wash your hands.
Claire: But aren't they just going to get dirty again since I'm taking my French fries with me.
K: You have a point.
C: Finally! I have a point!!!

New year, new blog.

I don't even know if any of you out there in family land ever read this, but for what it's worth, I'm going to try to post regularly again. I'd love to have some contributors, do some questionnaires, etc. Most of you might live in the same town, but this is a great place to have an online family journal, basically.

I already love to go back and see things from last year or when the blog first started. Our family is growing and changing all the time, so I'd love to include your individual families.

If you don't want to post yourself or are worried you won't be able to figure it out (but it's easy, easy though I swear. As easy as sending an e-mail basically), if you e-mail me stories, photos, links to an article or movie trailer you found interesting -- ANYTHING. I'll post them for you.

Really, take a minute to look back over what's been documented here and imagine if more stories from you were included.

Like this one, back from July 2008 from Nick: Crumbs from the 4-1-9

A little peek into the life of what Ellie was all about, also in July 2008: Getting to Know Ellie

A report from Sue on Gupp's Thelma and Louise trip, with a comment from K-K.

Some fun pics of Miles and Jude from February 2009.

When I took Lucas to make a Mother's Day mug for Sarah in May 2009 (look how much younger he looks then than he does now -- crazy!)

And, some great pictures of Leigh-bird from homecoming in October.

I don't ask for submissions for my sake -- I think it's for the sake of the whole family. If something comes to mind, shoot me an e-mail, leave me a voicemail, whatever! I'd love to include it.

On this, the eve of my 1-year "nanny-versary" (yes, it's been that long! Whoa!) I'll kick off 2010 with a recent video of me and my buddy, hanging out with monkey and a "neigh" while Mama and Lucas were at swim lessons...
