Lately I have been trying to teach P how to eat with a spoon. He seems to be interested...for about 2.3 seconds...and then he finds it way more funny to watch the spoon hit the floor! As you can see from the pics above (click to view larger) he did "try" to use the spoon...he even tried using it

Not that being a financial advisor is the most "fun filled" job right now with the market being so crappy, but nonetheless...P doesn't care...he's gonna be just like daddy when he grows up.Last Friday we stopped to visit "da da" at his office for a little lunch. Jimmy Johns for the adults and

Since it's Veteran's Day I thought it was an appropriate time to talk about the hubby's 15 month stay in Iraq and THANK HIM for fighting for our freedom! He served 9 years in the Army National Guard and was deployed to Baghdad for almost a year and a half in 2005/2006. As most of you know, he is a

FYI: I almost forgot to mention that the babysitter and P totally hit it off! Miss E and P = new BFF's! Within the first 5 minutes of her being at the house P was already making her read him a book. We can't wait to ask her to babysit again!

His first fight!

This morning was a typical Sunday morning for the Rose Family. Rushing around trying to get breakfast and coffee under our belts before we headed out the door to church. We actually made it on time...dropped off P in the toddler room and off to sing and worship! Little did I know that while J &

So tonight P will have his very first "real" babysitter. I say "real" babysitter because, up until this point, he has only stayed with Gigi and Papa, Auntie N, or Kiks and Frosty...and I don't consider them foreign people to my lil man.

As I promised, I am reporting back on our first SIU Saluki BB game experience. From the title, I am sure you have already gathered...it did not go so hot. Don't get me wrong, the team was great! It was my son, however, who was...not so great. If I could write him a letter to let him know how he made
