Camden's Been Tagged!
Three things......
that scare me: the surround sound noise at the beginning of DVD's, the light on my DVD player, and having to eat something I don't like
people that make me laugh: Daddy, Grandpa, and my cousin Josh
I love: my family, my CareBear and Mickey I sleep with, and chocolate milk
I hate: having to eat something I don't like, walking into a dark theater, and when the doggy trys to eat my food
I don't understand: why mommy and daddy say no, why i don't get my own way, and why boogers taste so good
on my desk: how 'bout dresser? TV, DVD Player, and CD player
I'm doing right now: sleeping, dreaming, and drooling
I want to do before I die: Grow another 3 feet, learn to read, and go to Chuck E Cheese's
I can do well: talk in full sentences, sing my ABC's and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and be a big brother
you should always listen to: Your mommy and daddy, Grandma and Grandpa, and the doggy
you should never listen to: Barney, those creapy colored things that dance around and talk funny on PBS (TelaTubbies), and infomercials
I'd like to learn how to do: how to spell, read, and ride a bike
favorite foods: pizza, chicken nuggets, and french fries
beverages I drink regularly: chocolate milk, strawberry milk, and juice
TV shows I watched as a kid: Blue's Clues, Go Diego Go, and Tom and Jerry
books I read as a kid: Goodnight Moon, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and Noisey Friends
Camden now tags Daddy, Jackson, and Arielle

Quick Update
Well, after about 3 attempts at trying to upload pictures just to have my computer freeze, I've given up on trying to do some picture for ya'll. I guess I'll just have to give you a quick update on how the lil' ones are doing.
Christmas was great. Camden had a bit of a hard time understanding that it was not all about him like on his birthday. He thought that the whole day, all of every one's attention should be focused on him. Needless to say he got upset when we tried to control this in him. All in all though it was a great time for him. We bought him a little drum set for Christmas. He had been asking for months for drums. He absolutely loves it. Merci, of course, is too little to understand but she was as cute as ever. We all awoke Christmas morning and I made cinnamon rolls, like always. Mike and I drank our coffee while we sat on the floor and mainly watched Camden open all his presents. We then just spent the day home. It was enjoyable to spend time with our kids.
After the holiday rush, the stomach bug hit our family hard. It began with Michael and quickly spread not only through Camden down to Merci and I, but through all of our extended family that saw us that week. We have felt terrible that everyone has gotten sick. It was not a fun week to say the least, but this week has proven to be much better.
Camden is actually starting to spell. It sounds crazy, because he is only 3 years old, but I assure you it is true. He knows how to read the words; no, yes, and sit. We have flash cards with simple, first words on them and he is learning them already. It amazes me how much his mind retains. He truly is like a sponge.
Merci is now beginning to squeal and giggle. She is full of smiles all the time. I haven't quite gotten use to having a little one who is clingy. Camden was never clingy, but Merci tends to be when she gets fussy. Though I love it to some degree, it is defiantly a bit of a struggle at times during the day. She is also a little cat napper. This too is something new for me. But, all of that aside, we are adjusting to having two children quite well and they too are doing great.
I will try to post again ASAP and get some great pictures uploaded that I have taken. Until then, our love to you all.

This Creaky Old Chair
I wrote this poem one night last week while I was rocking my fussy little girl. I have this old, antique rocking chair that was given to my mother who in turn gave it to me when I got married. As I rocked her it just came to me. I am not a writer but yet this piece I am very proud of. I hope you enjoy
This creaky old chair is were we sit,
each time you start to cry.
We rock and we sway
and I sing in a way
that makes the time go by.
This creaky old chair is were we sit,
when I simply want to hold you.
I whisper a song
and we rock along
For this is what we do.
This creaky old chair is were we sit
and I think of how you are growing.
I shed a small tear,
Out of a mother's fear,
At how quickly the time is going.
This creaky old chair is were you'll sit
and rock your little ones too.
You'll sing and you'll sway,
And rock in a way.
Just like I did for you.
In this creaky old chair.
This creaky old chair is were we sit,
each time you start to cry.
We rock and we sway
and I sing in a way
that makes the time go by.
This creaky old chair is were we sit,
when I simply want to hold you.
I whisper a song
and we rock along
For this is what we do.
This creaky old chair is were we sit
and I think of how you are growing.
I shed a small tear,
Out of a mother's fear,
At how quickly the time is going.
This creaky old chair is were you'll sit
and rock your little ones too.
You'll sing and you'll sway,
And rock in a way.
Just like I did for you.
In this creaky old chair.
