If you need pictures done, I highly recommend Brook.  She's Fab!

Brook did a phenomenal job, as usual.  I love these little ones so much.  They make me smile every day.

Radio Celebrity-That's Me

This afternoon I did a telephone interview with the national radio program called "Living the Country Life". It airs twice daily on 306 stations in 39 states from coast-to-coast. The program is run by Meredith Corporation in Des Moines, Iowa (Better Homes & Gardens, Successful Farming, Ladies Home Journal, etc.) and Learfield Communications in Missouri. 
My segment was on Livestock Nose Pumps. 
This is me during the interview.  Deb came in and took the picture for future reference of "I knew her when..."
My interview will broadcast the week of August 23rd with Betsey Freese and a link will be on their website starting that week as well.  Check it out at http://www.livingthecountrylife.com/
I was pretty nervous so I can only hope I sound intelligent.

Southern Exposure

Yeah for Tucker, he pottied standing up for the first time.  It all started with turning on the hose, all by himself and creating a mud puddle.  He then spent some time stomping and stirring with his camo boots.  Once it was the proper mud consistency he began jumping and splashing.  Needless to say he was pretty dirty in no time.  Thus the stripping at the back door which led to streaking in the backyard and then pottying.DSC01433

Hooray for Tucker!!!

Playing Doctor

Tucker decided today that he was playing doctor.  He has a cat toy that he is using as a stethoscope.  He put the one end in his ear and put the other end on Kora’s back.  He is so observant and creative.

My Little Girl is Starting to Sit Up

Yep, it’s true.  She is getting more and more stable.  She is starting to sit up on her own.  This is given a very stable base of wide stance legs and it still only last a couple of minutes.  Then over she topples.

You can see, too, her new gDiapers.  We do cloth diapers on the weekends.  I have a few different kinds but these new finds are so nice.  They are THE softest things next to her little bum.  And I feel so much better not throwing so many disposables in the trash.  It’s amazing how fast they add up.  My small attempt at being green.

So Handsome

 

DSC01350I took these at breakfast this morning.  The lighting was just perfect coming in the dining room window. DSC01352 DSC01355 Thank you to my friend Brook for teaching me to shut off the flash and appreciate the shadows.DSC01356 DSC01358

My handsome boy.  Luckily I caught these before he become the monster of norm.  He went to the corner at least 3 times today for telling me “no”, for throwing toys at Kora and for spitting.  Ahhh, boys.  But these moments of beauty negate all of those bad ones.  Psst, I love you.
