Small talk...

Elmer and I aren't big talkers. When Kai was first born, Elmer was in Hawaii and I was still in Washington ; it was like pulling teeth to get him to talk to me for more than 15 minutes. It isn't a bad thing, we just don't find the need to fill every minute together with words. Sometimes it is nice to just be tOgThEr, but who wants to sit silently on the phone for hours? Not me and certainly not Elmer! Long distance relationships are hard like that and if I had to do it again I don't think I could. I nEed ThIs mAn! That is why I love our sMalL tAlk, when we are jUst BeInG tOgTheR, doing nothing at all:

Me: "I love you baby!"

Elmer: "I love you more!"

Me: "No, I love you more!!!"

Elmer: "NO, I LOVE YOU MORE!!!"

Me: "Okay, you can love me more but I loved you first..."

... And you know what?!?! Every day when I wake up I love him mOrE!!!!

What Storm???

So that big storm we were supposed to have only produced a small puddle outside my house. I went to go take a picture of it and it had already dried up because of the hEaT we are now enduring! Yeah it is hOt alright and that is why Kai now hangs out like this......

Today we are busy as bees getting ready for the storm.

Felicia is headed our way!

Wish us luck!!!

A lovely shade of blue...

This is the smirk he gives me everytime he is naughty!

And this is the face he gives us when we say "NO"!

This face is to let us know he doesn't like being told no.

And this is the face he makes to let us know he is sorry... sorry he got caught!!! Little stinker! Not even Daddy wanted a kiss from this mouth!
