On the Street Where You Live
"On the Street Where You Live" - Can anyone name that movie? Clue: It's a song in this classic.
This is the street where WE live!
Another trip to the Post Office. Isn't this awesome?
This is a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk - taken from our bedroom.
This is my favorite again from a better angle...and then at night.
...much cooler than this picture!
This is officially The Pink Building...ok, not officially
FedEx...I thought it was cool. The rest of these are not technically
"On the Street Where [We] Live" anymore.
The Hole Building...another official name.
Verizon...How many bars do you have?
Still more to come.
I picked up a few recipes in Mexico and Miami is no exception. Although, I am a little embarrassed to admit that I am 29 and Saturday was my first attempt at cooking fish. I suppose that's what happens when your dad and then your husband both won't eat it. But to improve our health I ventured and tried my hand at tilapia. It was a great first, especially considering that Jon ate his entire fillet. I was also excited to learn that tilapia can be found in the Everglades. Cool, eh?
Where does it hurt?
3/14/05 Lauren's cough continues, and after her heartbreaking cries of, "I don't like my cough." I asked her where it hurt, thinking it could be either her throat or her chest. She said, "Right here." Then mouth wide open she pointed to her throat with her entire hand in her mouth and her finger at the back until she gagged.
2/19/08 This morning, we are eating breakfast when J interrupts the brief silence with a small basement burp. Without missing a beat, Lauren says, "What do you say, Daddy?" He excuses himself, then still in her motherly tone adds, "We don't fart at the table do we?"
Junk Food
9/16/08 Yesterday Lauren learned the difference between junk food and healthy food. So this morning, when she saw Rissie with a piece of candy, she said, "Mom, can I please have some junk food?"
2/9/08 Today Lauren asked me to redo her hair because it was "falling off!"
Cookie Dough
L: (in her sweetest voice) "Mom, can I have some cookie dough please?"
M: "Sure."
L: "Well," pause, "do you think you can get it from the fridge so I can like it?"
4/20/2008 So Lauren got some gum (not a fan) for being a good girl. Later, Jon asked her if she had swallowed it. She said, "No." Then he asked if she threw it away. She said, "No." So he asked her where it was, she told him it was in her throat.
L. and R. have been singing and dancing to their new piano that plays fun tunes. L. has been learning them and singing them around the house. A few days ago I overheard her sining, "Mary had a little sheep, little sheep, little sheep,...
Finding the Moon
Lauren shouts, "Grandma, there is the moon!" She started singing Twinkle Little Star, but in the mean time we had turned the corner and she soon discovered it was gone. So she tells Grandma, "We need to find another moon." 01/13/08
Kids are the best source of laughter
- I was getting dressed and L happened to be there and as I reached for my br_ she asked, "Mom, you put your b__bs on?"12/07
- R had gotten in trouble for something, then after some reflection L said matter of factly, "Well, she's learning."12/07
- L just told Jon to look at her stomach then lifted her arm, pulled down her sleeve, and showed him her armpit.12/07

"I have often walked, down this street before, but the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before. All at once am I, several stories high, knowing I'm on the street where you live!"
My Fair Lady- and I believe it is "freddy" singing, am I right?
Ah, she beat me to it! ;) LOVE the classics! I've been working on inroducing Coy to REAL classics since we started dating. They are just ... CLASSIC! :) Not to be forgotten :)
It looks like you guys are having a lot of fun. I'm glad you are together as a family. It's a great memory to make together.
I am so glad you didn't "miss Miami!"
The pictures are awesome. What a fun adventure. And, I know you know where that song came from....we always watched it. Great line.
I have been so far behind at checking out the blogs! I couldn't believe how many great shots I have missed from your Miami. I LOVE that side picture of Rissie in the orange stripe shirt! Did she get a haircut? - something about her looks so grown-up.
Love the pictures and it sounds like you have more adventure ahead of you as you won't be headed back "home" for awhile still.
